Govt raises bus fares by 11 paisa per km

The
government has today increased bus fares by 11 paisa per kilometre, citing
rising fuel costs.
Road
Transport and Bridges Minister Shaikh Rabiul Alam made the announcement
following a meeting with transport owners and workers held at the Secretariat
in the capital.
He said
the fare hike applies only to diesel-run buses, not to CNG-run buses.
A circular
will be issued in this regard later in the day, the minister added.
