Bangalore (BM) : Get ready to shell out more as Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation and it’s sister concerns (North East & North West transport corporations) have decided to hike the bus fare by 12 per cent.
The State Govt has permitted the transport corporations to hike the fare which will come into effect from Wednesday.
There is no word on fare hike in BMTC yet.
For long, the transport corporations have been mulling a fare hike citing that the fuel prices have been spiralling and their other costs are also touching the sky.
However, the successive governments had resisted it.
Meanwhile, there has been a stiff opposition from the activists against hiking the fare of BMTC buses as they claim that BMTC shouldn’t hike the fare as it would shun away commuter
