Anbessa bus proposes 75pc increase on fares

By Tedla Yeneakal

The management of Anbessa City Bus Enterprise has submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, to look into its subsidy formula,as well as enable it to raise the current fare on buses by 75%, sources disclosed to Capital .

General Manager of the Enterprise , Haileleule Tadesse told Capital that subsidies have been declining in the past few years but refused to comment on the proposal made to increase the existing bus fares in the city by 75%.

According to informed sources, the need to increase the bus fares came about after the current oil price increase, which has put pressure on the enterprise, coupled with the subsidy cutoff to the enterprise by more than 50%. The current Ethiopian year's subsidy of 18.9 million birr is insufficient to run the company.
