August 20: The fare of public transport vehicles operating in Province-1 has been increased within the state. The Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport of the state has made public the information that the fare of passenger and freight vehicles has been increased by up to 23 percent.

Engineer Om Prakash Shah, the information officer of the ministry, informed that the new fare will be applicable for the use of public vehicles across the state from August 17.

According to him, the fare has been increased by 16.5 percent for freight vehicles operating on hilly routes, 22 percent for passenger vehicles and 23 percent for freight vehicles operating in the Terai region.

He said that the price hike was based on the increase in the wages of workers, fuel, tires, interest, operating expenses and other indicators.

A meeting of the state's fare determination advisory committee held on July 29 had recommended the government to increase the fare.

The federal government had increased the fares of long-distance inter Province vehicles by 28 percent. The fare hike by the federal government has already been implemented since July 13.
