Karachi Transport Union has flatly refused to to bring down fares of public transport following the massive reduction in the prices of petrol and diesel, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Monday.
In this regard, union president Irshad Bukhari said that the government had earlier raised the price of diesel by Rs40 per litre but now it has slashed its rate by 15 rupees only and in such a situation, fares cannot be reduced.
