Parents, brace for 30 per cent hike in school bus fees in Maharashtra

Rendered off-road for two years, services will resume from February 1, helping more than 1.5 lakh workers

School buses will resume operations at full capacity about a week after in-person classes for Stds I-XII start on Monday. The owners’ association in the state said there will also be a 30 per cent hike in school bus fees when services start on February 1. This comes as good news for lakhs of workers whose livelihood was snatched by COVID-19 two years ago, but parents are unlikely to be happy with the fee hike.
