Bus operators to roll back hike in fare: RTA order

Mangaluru: The Dakshina Kannada Regional Transport Authority (RTA) has issued an order directing Dakshina Kannada Bus Operators Association to roll back its hike in travel fare in all private buses. The hike was implemented in April this year without the approval of the authority, said John Misquith, in-charge Assistant Regional Transport Officer at the Janaspandana programme at the RTO office on Tuesday July 24th.
Mr. Misquith answered a question at the programme and said that earlier the RTA had served a notice on the association for hiking the fares without the consent of the authority. The association questioned the notice in the Karnataka State Appellate Authority which upheld the notice following which the order was passed.
The association had announced the hike in fares through the media and therefore it should announce the rolling back of fares also through the media for the benefit of the people. The bus operators should comply with the order, passed about four days ago by the authority and the fares should be rolled back in immediate effect, he informed.
