In Bengaluru, BMTC bus fares have increased, making them costlier than the Namma Metro for several routes despite slower travel times. For example, the Benniganahalli to Indiranagar journey costs Rs 20 by metro (8 minutes) but Rs 25 by BMTC bus, which takes nearly three times longer. Experts warn the hike may push commuters towards autos or personal vehicles, undermining public transport goals.
