4 May 2011 07:10 am - 18 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Sri Lanka Private Bus Owners' Association (PBOA) today requested the National Transport Commission (NTC) to increase bus fares by 15 percent.They have also requested for the minimum bus fare to be raised from Rs.6 to Rs.8. The PBOA Chairman, Gemunu Wijeratne said that it was vital to increase bus fares owing to the increase in diesel prices last month.
“Bus owners may incur heavy losses if they do not implement a significant increase in bus fares. We hope the NTC will agree to our request,” Wijeratne said. (OJ)

think the 6 rupee fair should be reduced to 5, 8 to be increased to 10, that works well

Now is the time for all so called patriots and Chinthanites to resolve to walk instead of going in buses, that is if they still have the strength to walk with so many food items too going up in price. Jaya Wewa and Suba Anagathayak.

Why pay more for bad service ?
Silva Wednesday, 04 May 2011 08:16 AM
He is not talking anything about better service, over crowd, not issueing tickets ect...
Fair increase has to be better service.
If there are more than 100 complains the fair sould be reduced by 10 %Neutral Wednesday, 04 May 2011 08:11 AM
Gemunu! if Rs.6 minimum fare is increased to Rs. 8 , its 33.33% increase.. which is in contrast to 15% increase requested by PBOA. Rs. 7.00 would be the fare rate.

15% of 6 is only 0.9. So minimum fare should not exceed 7 buks

Requested bus fair is unfair......

You cannot blame the PBOA as everything has gone up prices. When everybody is increasing their product price whats wrong in increasing the Bus Fare?
shadir Wednesday, 04 May 2011 07:51 AM
