Services to be indefinitely withdrawn to highlight demand for higher fares, starting with ₹12 as minimum fare and ₹6 for students
Private bus operators in the State have said they would withdraw services indefinitely from December 21 to highlight their demand for higher fares, starting with ₹12 as minimum fare and ₹6 for students.
Kerala State Private Bus Operators Federation (KSPBOF) chairman Lawrence Babu, general convenor T. Gopinathan and vice-chairman Gokul Das of the Samyukta Samara Samithy said at a press conference here on Wednesday that it had been about a month since the bus owners held discussions with the Transport Minister. However, their demand had not been met.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
