NTC directive or not, decision on bus fare hike tomorrow
June 19, 2010 12:32 pm
Whether the National Transport Commission issues a directive or not, a final decision on the revision of bus fares will be taken tomorrow (Sunday), says the Private Bus Owners’ Union (PBOU).
A decision will be taken at the union’s district conference to be held tomorrow, says PBOU chairman Gemunu Wijeratne.
Mr. Wijeratne claims that since the private bus operators have to incur a high cont in maintaining their services, bust fares should be increased by July 01 to meet the rising maintenance costs.
