Bus Fare Reduction Postponed - NTC

COLOMBO (News 1st) - The National Transport Commission (NTC) says that the previously scheduled bus fare revision will not take effect today, citing a recent increase in fuel prices as the reason for the delay.

The Commission had earlier declared a 2.5% reduction in bus fares, set to be implemented from today. 

However, in light of the fuel price hike, the NTC stated that fare adjustments are now under review, and further decisions will be communicated in due course.
