Punjab Govt Increases Bus Fares by Up-to 267%

Transport costs have grown by as much as 267% according to the Punjab Government. Bear in mind that non-AC buses are affected by this. The decision shocked the community, which is already struggling with the rising expense of life. The people may be left without access to essential transport due to the enormous rise.

On April 25, the higher rates went into effect as inflation soared. Citizens who are afflicted by inflation are worried that this situation will make travel almost impossible. According to specifics, the cost of buses that travel between cities will rise by 265%, while the cost of buses that travel inside the same city will rise by 267%. The price for a four-kilometer trip is currently Rs. 14. After an increase of Rs. 33, this fee will rise to Rs. 47.
