The latest fuel price increase has brought more unwanted gifts for the general public. One such gift is the increase in bus fares.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is thinking about raising the prices for the Orange Line, Blue Line, and Green Line Metro bus services.
This idea will be discussed during the CDA board meeting, as per reliable sources who spoke to ProPakistani. The final decision on fare increases will be made in the upcoming board meeting, according to these sources.
There’s a suggestion to raise the fares for the Green and Blue Line buses from Rs. 30 to Rs. 60, sources say. As for the Orange Line bus, its fare might go up from Rs. 60 to Rs. 100.
An anonymous CDA official mentioned that the agency is facing financial challenges when it comes to offering these bus services at subsidized rates. Therefore, raising the fares for the Blue, Green, and Orange Line buses is seen as necessary.
