Karnataka's transport authorities have raised city bus fares in Bengaluru by Rs 10, increasing the cost of daily commuting.
The state transport board announced a uniform Rs 10 hike in bus fares across Bengaluru, affecting all city routes. Commuters using public buses will now pay the increased amount per ride, marking the latest adjustment in Karnataka's fare structure.
The revision comes as part of the periodic review of public transport charges, aimed at aligning costs with operational expenses. While the exact rationale was not detailed, such adjustments typically reflect changes in fuel prices and maintenance costs.
Passenger groups have expressed concern that the added expense could strain household budgets, especially for regular commuters. The transport board, however, maintains that the increase is necessary to sustain service quality and network expansion.
The new fare schedule is expected to be implemented from the upcoming week, with updated price displays at bus stops and on digital platforms.
