Karnataka Bus Fare Changes Raise Commuter Cost Questions
Commuters in Karnataka face higher bus fares following changes affecting state transport services and Bengaluru’s air-conditioned city buses.
The Indian Express reported increases of up to ₹9 on KSRTC services and a rise in the maximum AC Vajra fare from ₹75 to ₹90. State Transport Minister Byrathi Suresh defended the decision in the context of rising operating costs.
The impact on a particular journey depends on route, service category and the fare stage. Passengers should consult the transport operator’s current fare chart before budgeting for daily or intercity travel.
