Dhaka, Jun 16 - Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC)  has increased the fare for its passenger ships and ferry services by 20 per cent effective from Sunday.

This was announced in a BIWTC press release on Thursday.

It said the authority has re-fixed the fare in the wake of price hike of fuel oil.

“From 6 am on June 19 the fare will be effective for all kinds of vessels, including  passenger ships,” it said. - UNB
