Commuters slam bus fare hike after spike in milk and curd prices

Regular commuters have criticized the bus fare hike, stating that the recent increase in milk and curd prices has already strained household budgets. BMTC fares have gone up by 35% on average, while other state transport corporations increased fares by 23% on average. Commuters expressed concern that the repeated increases in transport fares, alongside rising milk and curd prices, will disproportionately affect the poor and economically weaker sections.
