Potential Fare Hike for BMTC and State Transport Corporations Amid Economic Strain

The government is reportedly considering increasing travel fares for BMTC and other state transport corporations due to financial difficulties. Sources suggest BMTC fares might increase by 15% to 17%, while the remaining three corporations could see an increase of 13% to 15%. The final decision on the fare hike will be based on the report submitted by the committee led by retired IAS officer Atul Tiwari.
