Currently, Bengaluru metro fares range between Rs 10 and Rs 60, and with the proposed hike, the maximum fare could have gone up to Rs 85, making it a financial burden on daily commuters. This has been put on a temporary halt.
According to several media reports, currently, BMRCL generates approximately Rs 2 crore in daily revenue from metro operations. An additional income of around Rs 80 lakh or more was expected from the proposed fare hike, depending on passenger numbers.
