The Mozambican government is set to change Maputo’s working hours, delaying the opening of major supermarkets and retail stores, as well as government services, by one hour in a bid to keep 55,000 commuters off the road.
According to the proposal of the Ministry of Transport and Communications, through the Maputo Metropolitan Transport Agency, which represents several organizations, “about 850 thousand trips are made every day” in the capital, “of which 355 thousand are on public transport and transport”. the rest by personal vehicle.”
“The city of Maputo, the political and economic capital of the country, has great travel appeal due to the concentration of a diverse set of institutions, services and activities that attract and generate large numbers of passengers and private vehicles, producing peaks during peak hours that create congestion, accidents, pollution, as well as long journeys and waiting times for public transport,” reads the proposal, which Lusa had access to this Friday.
