Somewhere last week, while i was shuttling around the region, the bus fare increased at an estimated 2.5%. This is to counter the petroleum increment of 5% over the last quarter.
What does this means to the average housewife and salary taker?
5 to 7 cents tops, per bus ride, individually.
10 to 14 cents tops, per day, individually.
30 to 42 cents tops, per family of 3.
9 to 12.60 dollar per month.
The problem is, this is all that the policy makers sees. Individually. Per household, the people can afford it.
So there shouldn't be a problem.
Or is there?
Well, taking into consideration that the average person probably does not know how they can voice out against the fare hike.
Given that the average person would not dare to voice out their concerns to the authority.
Given that the authority, one that is supposed to understand the heartlanders the most.
Would you say that it is okay?
"okay", that's the simple word, one that an average person would understand.
The fare hike? Well, the average person might not even have a chance to voice out even if they understood.
