The bus fares should be increased in compliance with the revised fuel prices, said the All Ceylon Private Bus Owners Association, demanding the revision be made tomorrow (27) itself.
Speaking to media, Union President Anjana Priyanjith noted that the government should not be given any more days to proceed with such a revision and the bus fares, accordingly, shall be increased by 35 per cent, making the minimum bus fare Rs. 40.
The government should be taking the responsibility of private buses refraining themselves from operation, should it fail to implement the revisions, he added.
