Urban, semi urban and interuban transportation costs have been harmonized by the government of Cameroon.
In a decision signed by the Minister of trade, Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana on Monday February 26, 2024, semi urban and interuban transport fares by cars and buses will be calculated per distance covered.
Transportation will be free for children aged 0-7 years. Those aged 8-10 years and persons with reduced mobility will be charged FCFA 8 per kilometer while passengers aged 11-21 years will be charged FCFA 10 per kilometer. For those above 21, they will be charged FCFA 16 per kilometer.
The decision is part of a series of measures taken to absorb the impact of fuel prices increased at the start of the month of February by the government.
Concerning urban transport fares, passengers will have to pay FCFA 350 during the day and FCFA 400 at night.
