Minister of Private Transport C.B Rathnayake is to make an official
statement on bus fare hikes after Vesak, the National Transport
Commission (NTC) said
The NTC also refrained from commenting to claims made by private bus
owners that they can increase bus fares without the approval of the NTC.
However NTC Chairman Sashi Welgama said that transport authorities have
made an unanimous decision to refrain from commenting on the matter.
Private bus owners said recently that no provision in the National
Transport Act or in the Provincial Tranport Authorities Act states that
bus owners cannot increase bus fares independently without the
authorization of the NTC.
