Public Transport Fares to Increase by 20% Nationwide Starting August 8, 2025

The Road Transport Operators have officially announced a 20% increase in public transport fares across the country, effective Friday, August 8, 2025.

According to the operators, the fare adjustment is in response to recent hikes in fuel prices, spare parts, and the overall cost of vehicle maintenance. The new fares will apply to trotros, taxis, intra-city buses, and inter-city (long-distance) services.

Passengers are advised to take note of the changes and prepare accordingly. Transport unions have urged all drivers and conductors to comply with the new rates and display updated fare lists at terminals.

The increase is expected to impact daily commuters, with many already expressing concerns about the rising cost of living.

Stay tuned for updates and fare breakdowns by route.
