MOTORBIKE TAXI and KABAZA - A TRAVEL SOLUTION FOR MALAWI

The new budget 2013/14 motorcycle slash on duty or whatever you call it by 15% on 220cc engine is good news.

Iam thinking just like an ordinary Malawian. The changes that pull the strings on the day to day life to feel the pain of the  current unpredictable economy include transport costs. Transport is a neccessity and not a luxury. We go to hospitals , work and sightseeing. The point of it is  to move from point A to point B. This budget slash on duty, may it come with an inflow of motorbikes and ease the burden of transport that come with high costs of it.

Its working in other countries like Nigeria. The argument that in Nigeria they produce fuel does not make this idea irrelevant but it enhences how we may think deeper by looking at its positive impacts on economy.How affiordable transport might be.How safe it might become and convinience. The more traffic we may have into our transport system the better it may become in all corners of the econnomy . The automatic fuel price mechanism in place might have this mode of transport cushion our expenditure because i can surely tell that reduced fares may arise from this development.We may have seasons to benefit longer than we think.

Bicycles have positively and partly helped solve the constraint of safe and affordable mode and fast type of  transport. Its about you from point A to B no other passenger at all.
