Public transport will go back to previous fare from Sept 1: Quader
DHAKA, Aug 29, 2020 (BSS) – Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today said the government has decided to reinstate previous fare for public transports on conditions from September 1, instead of the fare adjusted in the wake of coronavirus outbreak, considering the overall situation and public interest.
“Public transport will go back to previous fare from September 1. But health guidelines must be followed strictly. The transports would not carry additional passengers against seats, everyone – passengers, drivers and supervisors – must wear facemask and disinfectant should be used to keep vehicles germs free,” he said.
Quader, also Awami League general secretary, was addressing a view-exchange with Dhaka road zone, BRTA and BRTC officials, joining it virtually from his official residence on parliament premises.
