Bus fares in Karnataka increase as the state announces a revision affecting multiple operators, including Bengaluru’s BMTC and other services such as KSRTC, NWKRTC and KKRTC. India Today and Times of India report Bengaluru city fares rise by Rs 10, while the other outlets describe broader hikes across the state.
Times of India frames the change with percentage increases, saying BMTC fares go up by 35% and KSRTC and others by 23%. Swarajya similarly highlights the scale of fare revisions, attributing the announcement to Transport Minister Byrathi Suresh. The Hindu adds context on the policy process, stating the final increases are lower than a 45% rise recommended by the Public Transport Fare Regulatory Committee.
