Transport fares to increase during Lunar New Year

  Transport fares will rise by 15-20 percent during the Tet (Lunar New Year) to cover the rising cost of fuel, say transport companies.
An increase in fuel prices have has driven transport fares up by 30 percent or even higher for long hauls, especially on the North-South routes, says Vu Van Tuyen, Director of the Hoang Long Transport Company.
If businesses fail to adjust their transport fares, there will be a shortage of vehicles to serve passengers during the coming festival.
