Tuk Unions Want Rs 120 for the First Km After the Fuel Hike — Would You Pay It?

CPC raised fuel prices again on November 2, and within days the national three-wheeler union was pushing for metered fares to go up too — first kilometre from Rs 110 to Rs 120, every kilometre after from Rs 90 to Rs 100. Drivers say a tank barely covers half the trips it used to, and no one's adjusting their income for diesel and petrol climbing together. Passengers say meters already run high next to app-based cabs, and a hike every time fuel moves makes it impossible to budget a ride. Western Province's current rate only dates to March, so this would be the second change inside a year. Is a straight fuel-linked formula fairer than haggling over each new price announcement, or does it just push riders toward apps and buses for good? What are you actually paying per km right now, inside and outside Colombo? ඉන්ධන මිල ඉහළ ගිය සැණින් ත්‍රීරෝද මීටර් අනුපාතය වැඩි කළ යුතුද, නැත්නම් මාසයක් දෙකක් බලා සිටිය යුතුද?
