Uproar over metro fare hike continues
Public uproar over the steep hike in Metro fares escalated on Monday, February 10, with representatives of different organisations meeting the Managing Director of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), Maheshwar Rao, requesting a rollback of the move, stated a report by The New Indian Express.
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. 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 traffic on the streets but such a hike will defeat the move."
