The fares charged for the transportation of school children will have be increased, stated the All Ceylon School Transport Association, speaking to media.
Union President Malsiri De Silva noted that he had instructed his members to discuss the matter with parents and increase the fares accordingly.
Another hike in the price of fuel is also on the way, the Union President divulged.
Fuel prices soared on two consecutive occasions in the recent past, but the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) stated that it is still selling fuel at a loss.
