    This is not at all a good news and can cause problems to the visitors too. There should be some means to decrease the fares. I wish these get cut before my December i.e the tourist season so as to gain profits and grow more. :)

    Average increases. Also known as putting the max increase on the most used routes and hardly anything on the hardly used services.

    If you don't know how the basket system works, then please don't comment on it Kite2010!

    The fares system has to balance out thus the overall fare increases by X. Only putting lower fares increases in hardly used services is not going to balance that out!
