Citi News<\/strong>\u00a0there hasn’t been any official communication from the \u00a0sector ministry about the imminent fuel price hikes, although they expect to be told of the increase on Monday.<\/p>\n“They haven\u2019t called us to tell us anything. We are still in the holiday period and we\u2019ll resume on Monday. I\u2019m sure when we do, they\u2019ll call us so that we sit down with them.

Even though there\u2019s no transport minister, the administrators are available for us to meet and decide what to do.”<\/p>\n

“If the increments come, no matter how it is, we are also going to increase our fares. It\u2019s not the only thing used to decide the transport fares. The tyres, income tax, everything is rising” he noted.<\/p>\n
