The All Goa Private Bus Owners Association (AGPBOA) on Tuesday staged a demonstration outside the transport department office to demand a fare hike and their other pending dues.
AGPBOA General Secretary Sudip Tamhankar claimed that dues of subsidy on minimum fuel and insurance subsidy had not been given by the transport department.
"Diesel rates have increased by Rs 33 in the last two-and-half years. As such, the State government should increase bus fares by at least Rs 10 for the first 5 kms,” said Tamhankar.
The bus operators have also demanded subsidy in road and transport taxes.
