GEORGE TOWN: Express bus and school bus operators should not raise fares following the implementation of targeted diesel subsidies on the peninsula, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
“They should not raise their bus fares. They are not affected by the increase in the diesel price because school bus and express bus operators are still receiving subsidies. So what reason do they have to raise the fares?” he told a press conference after launching the 57th Asean Senior Transport Officials Meeting here yesterday, Bernama reported.
Loke said for express buses, the fares cannot be increased arbitrarily because they are under the purview of the Land Public Transport Agency.
