Public transportations fare rise high in Lebaran period

Public transportations fare rise high in Lebaran period. There are many reasons for this occurrence. First, the increasing number of public transportations users when Lebaran occurs. Public transportations become favorite choices for “mudik”, because of this high demand, public transportations providers react by increasing the transportations fare to achieve more profit for the company. Second, most people still paying more for “mudik” and meeting their families at hometown even the fare is higher than usual. This reason makes public transportations providers have no more doubt to increase their services fare in Lebaran period. Finally, the raise in public transportations fare are also affected by the numbers of ticket scalpers which increase the fare higher than the normal fare. These ticket scalpers usually buy the ticket before it runs out then sell it to people in higher price because no more tickets available. After all, the fare rise is definitely undeniable and we can`t do anything about it.
