Kathmandu. The Transport Management Department has increased the fare rates of public transport running across the country. The department has decided to increase the fares of both passenger and freight vehicles with effect from 16th Baisakh 2080.
According to the department, this adjustment was made in accordance with the theoretical agreement of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport and the scientific fare adjustment system of the department. The main reason for the increase in fares is considered to be the huge increase in the market price of diesel. According to the automatic system of the department, there is a provision to adjust the fare if the price of fuel decreases by more than 5 percent.
According to the department, the average price of diesel per liter was Rs 180.83 when the price was adjusted last time, and now it has increased by 30.41 percent to Rs 235.83, so the new price has to be fixed.
