Commuters across the country will now bear the brunt of the recently hiked fuel prices after the Matatu Owners Association (MOA) announced an increase in bus fares by at least 30 per cent.

According to the Association's chairperson Albert Karakacha, the fare adjustments are aimed at cushioning investors in the transport sector who are directly affected by the pump prices.
