The government has refixed the fare of CNG-run passenger buses and minibuses at Tk 1.20 and Tk 1.10 per kilometre respectively for Dhaka and Chittagong cities. It also set the minimum fare of the CNG-run buses at Tk 5 and directed diesel-run bus operators to convert their vehicles into CNG within next three months, said a press release of the Road and Railway Division yesterday. A nine-member committee formed on May 21 refixed the fare in the wake of price hike of CNG to Tk 16.75 from Tk 8.5 per cubic metre as the CNG bus operators were demanding an increase in bus fare. The government directed the bus operators to put up fare charts in buses and print the name of route, amount of fare, telephone numbers of the operating company and law enforcement agencies in the ticket.
