The Cabinet has approved a 4 per cent fare increase to bus tickets with effect from midnight tomorrow, the Transport and Civil Aviation Ministry said.

However, it said the minimum bus fare of Rs. 12 would not be changed.

Earlier, the private bus unions demanded a 10 per cent fare increase considering the fuel price hike.

When the fares were increased in May 2018, the Cabinet approved the demand on the condition that there would be no fare increases for the next two years.(Darshana Sanjeewa)

    Nice, so that is the solution from the mysterious equation. My little dachshund puppy will do better mathematics. We are to have brilliant guys and the minister and the deputy minister. I like the deputy as he lovers splitting out numbers. Another Pythagaoras?

    How about putting ads in the morning papers and electronic media like "Today's bus fare is "Today's petrol price" "Today's gas price" Today's milk price. That way people will get used to the yahaplana financial management method.
