The Golden Arrow Bus Service has announced that it will be increasing its passenger fares as from the 29th of December 2014.

Passenger fares will increase by an average of 7.2%. In a statement the service said a number of cost factors including the nationally determined wage increase of 9.5% and a shortfall in subsidy impacted negatively and a revision of fares was necessary. 

Golden Arrow Bus Service Spokesperson Bronwen Dyke said to put the fare increase into perspective, the price of a trip between Khayelitsha and Cape Town will increase by just 73 cents from R10.00 to R10.73 in the case of a monthly clipcard.

“The company believes that this per trip increase remains within the parameters of reasonable affordability Dyke added.
