The Bagmati Province government has adjusted the fares of public vehicles plying the roads in the inter-municipalities.

The current fare rate of city buses operating within the valley will be reduced by 5.90 percent effective from Thursday.

Similarly, the ministry has decided to reduce the fare rate by 5.69 percent for freight vehicles and 4.18 percent for passenger buses operating within the Bagmati province.
