Taxi operators communiting between Mzuzu and Lilongwe have created news business opportunities for traders who travel between the two cities.
Speaking in an interview, one regular traveller Agness Nathundu said the introduction of the Mzuzu- Liliongwe route by taxi owners provides them with comfortable, fast and reliable transport than big buses.
“These guys(taxi) are very flexible because they even sometimes wait for us whenever we request them. Not only that, we do negotiate on the transport fair which is not the case with buses. We dont bother these days with buses, we just go to our usual place, Chikoma building and they sometimes pick us from our respective homes”, she explained.
One of the taxi drivers James Mwale concurred with the customer on the need to assist them with an easy transport where they can do their shopping without transport worries.
“They (customers) prefer fast transportation and they avoid the Mzuzu-Mzimba-Lilongwe route and so many stoppages on the way by big buses unlike us”, he lamented.
