The public uproar over the steep hike in Metro fares escalated on Monday, February 10, with representatives of different organisations meeting the Managing Director of the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), Maheshwar Rao, with a request for a rollback of the move.

The All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) District Secretary Kalyan Kumar and President Apurva submitted a memorandum in person to the MD at the BMRCL office, according to a report by The New Indian Express.

It said, "Of the daily average of 7 lakh commuters, 30% are students. Hiking the fare is a big blow to the public and students in particular. The whole idea of Metro was to decongest the traffic on the streets but such a hike will defeat the move."
