Bus associations have also stated that fares will not be reduced despite the reduction in fuel prices from yesterday midnight (May 01).
Chairman of the Lanka Private Bus Association – Gemunu Wijeratne has said the reduction of Rs. 12 for a litre of diesel was insufficient to reduce bus fares.
Gemunu Wijeratne further said the annual bus fare revision is scheduled for July this year.
Earlier, three wheeler associations have also stated that fares will not be slashed.
The All-Island Three-Wheeler Drivers’ Union (AITWDU) said they are unable to reduce three-wheeler taxi fares at this time, as the decision must be made by the Western Province National Transport Commission and the National Transport Commission (NTC).
