Thousands of passengers have been left stranded at various bus termini across the country as transport operators hike fares to a record high.
The transport operators are blaming the Covid-19 Public Service Vehicles (PSV) guidelines imposed by the Ministry of Health to curb the spread of the deadly virus.
Passengers are however decrying the impact Covid-19 has had on the economy, with most of them having to travel upcountry with families.
