Sri Lanka, June 20 -- The Lanka Private Bus Owners' Association is requesting a postponement of the annual bus fare revision, which is scheduled for July 1.

Speaking to Hiru News, Gemunu Wijeratne, Chairman of the Association, stated that the continuous rise in global fuel prices due to the Iran-Israel conflict makes this an unfavourable time to implement a bus fare revision.

He expressed concerns that proceeding with the revision now would negatively impact the industry.
