Public transport vehicle (PSV) operators have increased fares by at least Sh10 in the last month as recent fuel hikes continue to hit consumers hard.

The jump is by nearly half compared to a similar period in July last year as PSVs operating across the country factor in and pass on the recent fuel price rises.
