Fare Hike In Kerala Again?

Posted By Sankar In KSRTC Community: Private operators again demanding Fare Hike. Each and every time when there is even small hike in fuel prices the operators are demanding fare increase. Its not a fair practice for such an average state like Kerala. Already the minimum charge is 4Rs.


We cant bear more than this for some years more.But one of their demand is somewhat acceptable. Student charges can be revised to some extent . But that also should not be half of the actual fare.According to me private bus operators need more money to operate buses since the employees in each bus is minimum 3 and maximum 4 (driver 2 conductor and cleaner).


At the same place Ksrtc operates with a single crew of Driver and conductor. By reducing this to 2 employees they can avoid a part of the loss they are facing through fuel price hike without putting the burden on fellow travelers.


This time Ksrtc has not demanded price rise.


And one more thing that when the price of fuel hiked the bus operators would call strike and everytime they ask for fare hike. But one day when international oil prices go down then prices in India also will go downwards.


Then will these operators keep strike or even at least they would say that the bus charges should also be reduced?? Moreover Bus operation is a SERVICE rather than profit. courtesy:BUS CONDUCTOR, VESHAM movies.


So friends come on comment on the topic.
