The National Transport Commission (NTC) today announced a fare increase of 19.5 per cent with effect from tonight, NTC Director General Commander (Rtd) Nilan Miranda said.

He said the minimum fare, which was at Rs. 27, would be increased to Rs.32.

The NTC issued the revised bus fare list with 350 cases today. According to the list, the maximum bus fare has been increased from Rs. 2,022 to Rs. 2,417, the Minister said.

He said that the bus fare revision was made solely to account for the increase in diesel prices. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

    Private bus operators must clearly states the proper bus fare and the list along with names destinations must be displayed inside the bus. The whole country is moving towards more and more corruptions.
