The bus fares are likely to be revised completely over any revision taken place on fuel prices at the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO), said Gemunu Wijeratne, Chairman of the All Ceylon Private Bus Owners Association, speaking to a briefing held in Colombo today (18).
Should the CEYPETCO prices increase in comparison with the recent price revision at the Lanka Indian Oil Company (LIOC), the bus fares may double the price, he warned.
He added that diesel for buses has to be obtained from the LIOC filling stations as there are are no CEYPETCO filling stations in many parts of the country at present, pointing out that bus fares in these areas may be revised based on the situation.
