Title: Transco facilitates the mobility of the inhabitants of Kananga and Tshikaji in Kasaï Central
The Congo transport company (Transco) has managed to meet the needs of the inhabitants of Kananga and Tshikaji, two regions of Kasaï Central in the DRC, with the Kananga-Tshikaji axis. According to a civil society actor, the transport price of one thousand Congolese Francs is very accessible to all, even the poorest. He also praises the fluidity of bus traffic during market days in the region.
The people of Kananga have not always been blessed with a reliable public transport system. This is why many people resorted to informal means of transport, such as the motorcycle taxi, before the arrival of Transco. The high costs of the latter meant that the poorest were excluded from these services.
Currently, Transco serves the Kananga-Tshikaji axis, and the inhabitants of these two localities are full of praise for the services offered by this company. Travelers particularly appreciate the frequency of rotations and the affordable price of one thousand Congolese Francs, a saving of 1,500 FC compared to the cost of motorcycle taxis.
However, the population of Kananga would like Transco’s services to be extended to outlying localities, where the organization of public transport remains a real challenge. With the establishment of Transco, the population will be able to have access to an affordable and reliable transportation service, which will improve the quality of life of all the inhabitants of this region.
In short, Transco has succeeded in meeting the mobility needs of the inhabitants of Kananga and Tshikaji with the establishment of its Kananga-Tshikaji axis. The fluidity of traffic and affordable mobility are the considerable advantages that have attracted many travelers on this line. The establishment of this service has not only improved the lives of the inhabitants of Kananga and Tshikaji, it has also offered a model to follow for optimal public transport in other regions of the DRC.
