Fuel Just Rose Again — Should Tuk Meters Go Up Too, or Stay Put?

Fuel prices went up again this week, and bus and school van fares are staying the same, but three-wheeler associations can't agree on what to do. One major union says meters should be reset higher to match fuel costs, and has hinted it may go straight to meter-adjustment providers if the government stays quiet. Other associations say there is no need to touch fares right now. The strongest case for raising: a tuk driver's income gets eaten by fuel, and if prices climb every few weeks, waiting for formal approval just means driving at a loss in the meantime. The strongest case against: passengers already feel fares are steep for short hops, and if every price blip triggers a meter change, nobody trusts the meter anymore, so people go back to haggling before they even get in. If you drive a tuk, what is your real cost per km right now versus what the meter charges? If you're a passenger, would you pay a few rupees more per km if it meant drivers actually stuck to the meter instead of negotiating? මීටරය දැන්ම වැඩි කරන එක හරිද, නැත්නම් මිල ස්ථාවර වනතුරු ඉන්න ඕනද?
