A simultaneous increase in all the sub-indices, with the exception of the sub-index of capital, contributed for the increase in costs.

Labour cost continue to grow

The index for labour costs had an annual increase of 2.8 per cent from the 3rd quarter of 2012. With a total weight share of about 56 per cent, the index for labour costs was a major contributor to the changes in the total cost index for buses.

Falling capital costs

The sub-index for capital costs fell from 92.8 during the 3rd quarter of 2012 to 89.7 in the 3rd quarter of 2013; a decline of 3.1 per cent.
