AGARTALA, May 11 (TIWN): Bus fares have increased suddenly without any official notice received to the Transport Dept. However, the drivers said that they have decided it after talking to the motor stand drives unit.
“Even after taking double fares, we are facing losses, as when returning, we are not getting passengers. We are basically taking half passengers now”, said the drivers.
For example, from Belonia to Agartala the fare is Rs. 70 but today the passengers had to pay Rs. 150, which is more than double.
Then, from Bishalgarh to Agartala the fare is generally Rs. 20 but today the fare turned Rs. 40.
Similarly double or more than double charges are being taken from all passengers.
