A prominent bus company in Suva says they will question the bus drivers and take appropriate action if they find their drivers are demanding extra money from students.
This comes after a parent of Nadera in Nasinu raised concern that her daughter boarded a bus after school at 4.30 yesterday afternoon and the driver asked her for full bus fare.
She says that her daughter showed the bus fare voucher to the driver but he demanded more money.
The year 11 student’s mother says that her daughter does not take extra money to school and she had to borrow some cash from her friend.
The mother says that other students also went through the same situation.
The bus company says that they need to get the bus registration and time so that they can question the bus driver.
We have also contacted Land Transport Authority and the Board Chairman Vijay Maharaj says the issue has been forwarded to the core Management of LTA to investigate the matter.
