PETALING JAYA: The increase in school bus fees can't be avoided if the industry is to survive, said the Federation of School Bus Associations Malaysia president Mohd Haron Mohamad Sidik.

He said the hike of between 25% to 30% was due to the high maintenance cost and the rise in minimum wage and illegal school bus operators, reported Sinar Harian.
