The Opposition is describing the two-phased fare increase announced by transport minister Daryl Vaz, today as highly unusual and extremely disrespectful to commuters.
Opposition spokesman on transport Mikael Phillips says the government is resorting to gimmicks in setting public transport fares, once again revealing the absence of a transport policy.
He said without a transport policy, the government was writing the script as it went along .
He says he intends to seek legal advice on what he describes as this strange implementation strategy.
