Bus fares up 30% for Raya



Bus operators have been allowed to impose a 30% fare surcharge during the Hari Raya period. Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development Minister Datuk Noh Omar said the fare surcharge would come into effect between Sept 15 and Oct 15.

Barisan Nasional (BN) = Barang Naik.
Inflation for July up 8.5%, one of the highest in the region.

Now bus fare going up by 30% during the Hari Raya period.

Selamat Hari Raya to you, Datuk Noh Omar! Do you know many Muslims may not be able to go back to their kampung (hometown) for Hari Raya due the the sharp bus fare hike?

In Melbourne we have free public transport available for some holidays. Special services are available for some events such as New Year's Eve, sporting events, and the Melbourne Show.
