• The second application within 12 months by Maidstone and District Motor Services Ltd. for a fares revision was heard by the South Eastern Traffic Commissioners on Wednesday.
In December last year the company was allowed a penny increase on most fares, yielding an estimated £121,000 in extra revenue.
On Wednesday it asked for a further increase of one penny on all fares bringing the minimum fare up to fiyepence.
Opening the case for Maidstone and District, Mr, John Main said the increase was necessary because of increased costs and higher wages. The company estimated it would need another £215,000 during the next year "to prevent it going into the red".
The case continues.
