Transco Bus Users Denounce Resurgence of 'Demi-Terrain' Practice in Kinshasa

Transco bus users in Kinshasa are protesting the resurgence of the 'demi-terrain' practice since early October, where drivers stop before the designated terminus, forcing passengers to pay multiple fares to reach their destinations. This practice increases transportation costs, sometimes tripling the normal fare, and makes travel more difficult for residents. The passengers are calling on Transco to improve route control and penalize offenders, but the company has not yet responded.
