July 23: The transport entrepreneurs launched protest in the capital on Thursday (July 22) demanding the adjustment of the transportation fare, according to the state-owned national news agency (RSS).

The transport entrepreneurs staged protest in different parts along the Ring Road in Kathmandu valley as part of their protest.    
They have further demanded the government to manage anti COVID-19 vaccines for drivers and helpers of long and short-route vehicles as well. They appealed to the federal government to address their genuine demands. According to the transport entrepreneurs,, they have been hard hit by the pandemic and therefore struggling to pay the bank loans of their vehicles.

Recently, the Department of Transport Management has allowed transport entrepreneurs to hike bus fare on inter-provincial routes by 28 per cent.    
Similarly, cargo carriers serving in the Terai and hills were permitted to hike transport fares by 26 and 20 per cent, respectively.    
The protesters have demanded adjustment of transportation fare due to inflation and price hike of petroleum products and vehicle spare parts. They said that the fare was adjusted nine years ago.
