Urge Karnataka government to constitute a committee to revise fares periodically on the basis of the price of diesel
The Karnataka State Bus Owners’ Federation urged Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to waive road tax for stage carriage buses, which resumed operations post lockdown, for six months. A delegation comprising Kuyilady Suresh Nayak, Vikram Reddy, Ajjappa and Dilraj Alva called on Mr. Yediyurappa in Bengaluru on July 3. They argued that the government might lose ₹72 crore by waiving off road tax for six months, but stands to gain ₹720 crore from tax on diesel and other consumables used for private stage carriage buses.More Related News
