BANGALORE (Metro Rail News): Tejasvi Surya, the Member of Parliament representing Bangalore South, called for the prompt release of the fare-fixation committee report, which served as the basis for the fare increase implemented by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) in February.
In reference to the fare-fixation committee report, Tejasvi Surya mentioned, “Despite multiple requests over the last four months, BMRCL hasn’t made it public. This is a democracy – the general public, especially those travelling in Metro, have every right to know on what basis BMRCL increased fares by 130 percent.” as reported by ET Infra.
While addressing the matter in Parliament, Mr. Surya urged the central government to expedite the operations of the long-delayed Yellow Line. “The line connects residential areas with Electronics City, and over 8 lakh people will travel on the line once it is open.”
