Passenger fees for public transportation vehicles providing services within and between districts in Aydın have been increased by another 12.5%.
According to the new tariff that will be valid as of August 15, the hop-on and hop-off fee has increased from 18 lira to 20 lira.
Last month, drivers, who have experienced increases in many input costs, especially fuel, requested an increase in passenger fees from Aydın Transportation Coordination Center (UKOME). Passenger fees were duly raised by 28%.
Unsatisfied with the increase in question and faced with the problem of change with the new price tariff, the tradesmen knocked on UKOME’s door again. UKOME decided to make another 12.5% increase in passenger fees.
The new increase will be reflected in the passenger fees of vehicles providing public transportation services within the district and between districts as of this week.
The full passenger fee increased from 18 lira to 20 lira, and the student passenger fee increased from 12 lira to 13 lira.
