February 6, 2019 7:47 am

Details of the bus fare review will be discussed today by Chair of the Independent Bus Fare review committee Joel Abraham and bus owners.

This will include submissions made by the Fiji Bus Operators Association, individual operators, and discussions on the cost variable and analysis with a view of finding a viable solution for the bus industry.

Abraham says thousands of workers and students rely on bus services daily for cost effective travel to their workplaces and schools, thus he has a duty to ensure that any increase in bus fares are fair to both Fijians and bus owners.
