Wed, Feb 17 2021Instead of Increasing the Fare why can't you people fight with our Elected representatives to bring down the tax amount . For example basic price for Petrol is Rs. 36/- per ltr and balance is Tax . i have not seen this type of price in my life time even when the price for crude oil is 140 doller per Barrel Don't try to increase the fares as this will effect the General Public as Salaries are not increased.
