    True

    Explanation:

    Price Elasticity of Demand is responsive change in demand, due to change in price. P (Ed) = % change in demand / % change in price.

    Demand can be classified on the basis of : Elasticity & its relationship with Total Revenue [ TR = P X Q]; as undermentioned : -

    Elastic Demand : P (Ed) > 1, %change in demand > %change in price, Price & Total Revenue are inversely related [ P ↑ TR ↓, P ↓TR ↑ ] Inelastic Demand : P (Ed) < 1, % change in demand < %change in price, Price & Total Revenue are positively related [ P ↑ TR ↑, P ↓ TR ↓]

    As Given : Increase in bus fares (price) lead to increase in total revenue. This implies Price & Total Revenue are directly related. So, Demand for subway bus services is Inelastic.
