Kotabaru, 1/7 (Antaranews, South Kalimantan) â€“ An Intercity In Province Transportation (AKDP) entrepreneur, in Kotabaru District, just plan to raise fares, despite fuel prices rise has occurred since Friday (21/6).

"Until today, we have not raise fares, although some other businessmen immediately increased them after the announcement of fuel price hike," said an AKDP transport businessman, Akhmad Nuraqsini Q, here on Monday.

Akhmad, who has several buses which serve Kotabaru-Banjarmasin route and some other district, admitted he was still waiting for the conditions really fit to raise rates.

He felt less comfortable to bus service users, especially his customers, when instantly raise ticket prices, as the impact of fuel prices raise.

"We are sorry for the customers, so it is not necessarily to directly raise ticket prices," he explained.
