Bus companies urged not raise fares during festival
Bus companies have been urged to maintain fare prices and not take advantage of the festive season to raise them. Mandalay Region Supervisory Committee for Motor Vehicles (Highway) chair, U Aung Kyaw Lin, said that he is making a request and not ordering the companies to keep to the normal pricing. “We are making a request and not using our authority to force the pricing to remain. And the bus companies are complying with this request,” he said. He said that the bus lines have to inform them by today if they are halting services.
