One thought on “Bus fare increase”
Bus fares should be according to the distance such as main market to top town or snack bar – Lae as .50 toea, or like kamkumung to main market-Lae suppose to be as K1.00. It depends on the distance. Majority of people are struggling to survive with their little earnings they get to pay for their bus fares every day of their lives. Please re-consider bus fares reasonably.
