April 1: The government has increased public transportation fares following the rise in prices of petroleum products.

A ministerial-level decision taken by the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport has approved a hike in transportation fares within the provinces.

The Department of Transport Management informed that the government has allowed transport entrepreneurs to increase the fare by 10 to 13 percent.

Meanwhile, only long-route cargo vehicles transporting goods from one province to another have been allowed to hike the transportation fare, the department informed.

The ministry is preparing to allow transport entrepreneurs to adjust the price under an automatic mechanism when the price of petroleum products fluctuates by 5 percent. The government had promised automatic pricing mechanism before but the decision has not been implemented.

The government had adjusted transportation fares on July 12, 2021. Since then, the price of diesel has increased by 34 percent, informed the department.
