Bengaluru metro fare hike put on hold amid commuter fury and BJP-Congress clash

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has suspended its planned annual fare revision, announced on February 5 for implementation from February 9 (Monday), following public outcry and political sparring. The operator cited a board review, committing to safe, reliable, and affordable services while keeping commuters in limbo. This U-turn came days after backlash over hikes of Rs 1-5 across 10 zones on the 96.10-km Namma Metro, like Rs 10 to Rs 11 for up to 2 km and Rs 90 to Rs 95 beyond 30 km.
