Bus fare rising soon

Dong-A article in English:

Intercity bus fares will rise 5.8 percent and those of express buses will go up 4.3 percent from March 2, the first hike since August 2010.
The Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs Ministry on Friday said the minimum intercity bus fare will be raised from 1,200 won (1.11 U.S. dollars) to 1,300 won (1.20 dollars). The Seoul-Yeosu line fare will rise 5.3 percent from 24,400 (22.61 dollars) to 25,700 won (23.82 dollars), and that of the East Seoul Terminal-Chuncheon line will go up 6.3 percent from 6,300 (5.84 dollars) to 6,700 won (6.21 dollars)....
Thanks to my buddy Chris for the article.
