With the uncontrollable increase in three-wheeler fares, the All-Island Three-Wheeler Drivers' Union (AITWDU) has increased the three-wheeler fare with immediate effect.
While addressing the media, AITWDU President Lalith Dharmasekera said the fares for the first and second kilometers in a three-wheeler have been increased to Rs. 120 and Rs. 100 from today.
Three-wheeler drivers who currently operate through mobile apps and those who do not operate through apps or metres are charging Rs. 250 for their first km.
Due to fuel shortages, the three-wheeler fares were revised that the first km was Rs. 100 and the second km was Rs. 90. But the metered three-wheelers used to charge Rs. 120 and Rs. 100 for the first and second km, he said.
Therefore, Dharmasekara requested the people to inquire about the charges before boarding vehicle. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
