SPAD wants bus operators to decide

Amali: 'We hope that SPAD can draft a basic proposed fare and allow the operators to then negotiate the quantum of increase with parents.'

PETALING JAYA: Parents will be left in the lurch when the new school year opens if school bus operators and Land Public Transport Com­mission (SPAD) do not come to a compromise over the new bus fares.

Earlier this month, SPAD agreed to deregulate the fares as of January.
