Margao, April 6: All Goa Private Bus owners Association (AGPBOA) has unanimously taken a decision to get the stereo players in the buses dismantled, in order to give good service to passengers. This was causing nuisance to senior citizens.

"To obey the conditions decreed by state government about wearing the uniform and issuing bus tickets without fail to commuters, we are now serious about all conditions and we will enforce them in our buses. Those who fail to obey will be fined by AGPBOA, as the members will inspect, " said general secretary of AGPBOA, Avinash Shirodkar, while speaking to this correspondent.

On Wednesday, most routes across the state experienced the new hike of rates, which was passed recently by state govt. Though the fares were to take effect from April 1st, the AGPBOA had decided to implement the new fares after obtaining the table fare from local RTO office, which they have displayed in the buses.
