Argument:
The BEST bus travels company has decided to increase its fare by 10%.
Assumptions:

This is not necessarily assumed in the decision. If the company assumed this, it would be worried about losing passengers and might hesitate to increase fares.
This is not implicit.
2. The demand for the buses by passengers may remain unchanged even after the fare hike.

This is implicit.
