The main Mozambican trade union federation has denounced the government's plans for passenger transport, in unusually strong language.
The OTM General Secretary, Alexandre Munguambe, says the government's promise of a passenger subsidy is just a way of entertaining the public and the Famba Card is unworkable.
He says the OTM wants a reduction in the Value Added Tax paid on basic goods and fuel.
Munguambe pointed out that none of the country's minimum wages come anywhere near covering the cost of a basic package of goods and services.
