I am not a fan of bus gamunu, but this time I put full blame on govt for this mess. How can they have astronomical increases in fuel prices and expect transport services to run at same prices? There should be some planning on govt side before such major fuel price increases happen. It shows how incompetent and stupid our rulers are. They can't even manage a price hike properly

It is the Private Bus Companies who will lose if people get used to commute other alternative ways.

Confiscate the buses and get the Army to run them for free till the bus owners come to their senses.
