On Monday, December 19, the new rates will take effect and will be used for haulage, shared taxis, and both intra- and inter-city travel.

This information was released in a press release on Friday, December 16. Following increased requests for a fee reduction due to the recent small drop in petroleum product prices, the announcement was made during a last-minute meeting with stakeholders.

Although stakeholders said the percentage decline took into account the difficulty faced by drivers, commuters, and the general public, the most recent charge hike was 19 percent.
