The adjusted bus fare increase will be applied from May 1.

According to the Department of Transport, after increasing bus fares, revenue will increase, gradually reducing subsidies from the State budget. The increase in revenue from this price adjustment is to invest in vehicle innovation, upgrade bus infrastructure, gradually improve service quality, expand service areas so that people can choose buses for their travel needs in the area, and limit personal vehicles.
