The public can expect no further increases or decreases in Public Motor Vehicle (PMV) buses and taxi fares for next year right across the country. The country’s consumer watchdog, the Independent Consumer and Competitions Commission (ICCC) in a public notice issued recently, informed PMV and taxi operators and the public that the maximum fares will remain the same in 2025. The ICCC’s notice also comes with a stern warning, warning all PMV and taxi operators operating in all licensed routes to comply with the maximum fares (with applicable concessions) that were applied in 2024, in 2025. The Commission further informed that the public could access to see copies of the National Gazette on the maximum fares for public transportation, which can be obtained from the Government Printing Office, the ICCC regional offices, the ICCC website at www.iccc.gov.pg or the ICCC official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/icccpng.
