KSTOA seeks transparent toll rates as toll booths set to be removed on Electronic City Flyover and Bengaluru-Nelamangala Highway

The Karnataka State Travel Operators Association (KSTOA) welcomed the proposed removal of toll booths on the Electronic City Flyover, Attibele stretch, and Bengaluru-Nelamangala Highway. However, the association urged authorities to ensure fair toll rates and transparent charging under the proposed seamless electronic toll collection system. KSTOA also called for consideration of distance-based tolling using GNSS, suggesting motorists should pay based on the distance travelled rather than an entire road section. The association also sought examination of toll rates on roads where private concession agreements have expired.
