Three-wheeler fares have also been increased in line with the recent fuel price revision announced by the government.

 

Accordingly, the three-wheeler fare for the first kilometre has been increased from Rs. 100 to Rs.110 while three-wheeler operators will charge Rs. 90 for each additional kilometer, according to Road Passenger Transport Authority of the Western Province.

 

Earlier, the National Transport Commission (NTC) stated that the recent fuel price hike, particularly the increase in Lanka auto diesel prices, significantly impacted the bus fare revision formula.

 

According to the NTC, this has resulted in an increase exceeding 10% compared to the current bus fares.

 

Director General of the NTC, Dr. Nilan Miranda, noted that a Cabinet paper will be submitted seeking approval to implement the revised bus fare structure.

 

Meanwhile, several bus associations demanded that the fare revision be implemented from yesterday (22).

 

The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (Ceypetco) announced a revision of fuel prices, effective from midnight on Saturday (21).

 

Accordingly, the price of auto diesel was increased by Rs. 79 to Rs. 382 per litre, and the price of super diesel was increased by Rs. 90 to Rs. 443 per litre.

 

Meanwhile, the price of petrol 92 octane was also increased by Rs. 81 to Rs. 398 per litre. The price of kerosene was increased by Rs. 60 to Rs. 255 per litre, and petrol 95 octane was increased by Rs. 90 to Rs. 455 per litre, the CPC said.

 

The revised rates are as follows:

  • Auto Diesel – Rs. 382 (increased by Rs. 79)
  • Super Diesel – Rs. 443 (increased by Rs. 90)
  • Petrol 92 Octane – Rs. 398 (increased by Rs. 81)
  • Petrol 95 Octane – Rs. 455 (increased by Rs. 90)
