A resident, Madam Ashatu Suleiman, said she paid N150 from Sabon Tasha to Kaduna Central market, where she sells foodstuff.
According to her, as she was returning this evening, she paid N200.
Track News also observed that transportation fare from Kaduna to Zaria has increased to N1,000 instead of N800.
Many have feared that the fuel scarcity in the state was due to Kogi flooding which did not allow fuel trucks easy passage.
