BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has raised concerns over the sharp increase in Bengaluru Metro fares, calling for transparency from the state government regarding the fare fixation committee report.
The maximum fare of Rs 90 is a significant burden on average commuters, particularly those working in sectors like hospitality and IT.
