🚨 "REDUCE BUS FARES, OR RESIGN!"
Devotees surround the Karnataka CM D K Shivakumar at the Hassanamba Temple in Hassan!
This is KSRTC
If yous ee BMTC fare will be too high
For city like Bangalore over burdened with traffic , this fare hike a hole in pocket

Mismanagement in recent years, and now the free bus rides for women, have all but killed our pride — KSRTC and its sister corporations, NWKRTC, KKRTC and BMTC. The buses are creaking: still breathing, but only just. The staff are demoralised. Unless the government takes a tough, unpopular decision, a great public transport system built over 75 years will collapse. That would be a tragedy.
Free public transport is a fine idea, but only when there is money to pay for it. Personally, I favour free travel for the poor and for students.
In my Malnad region, the private bus network — once among the best and most vibrant anywhere — has become collateral damage. Passenger numbers are dwindling, because of this scheme and other factors, and with them the revenue.
It is of course a destruction of the system. That looks like main intention of @DKShivakumar .. the well doing corporation spoilt badly and noone to revive it
#unjustifiedfarehike @FriendsofBMTC @ChristinMP_ ...
Morenthe hikenlesser the MALE passengers
And this increases LOSS further
And the idiots will thinking hiking price further will cover up losses
But conversely it will reduce MALE passengers further and increase the losses further
This is VICIOUS cycle destined for COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM.

It was done for money pocketing , increasing traffic so they can bring in unscientific projects in city
No way this rise is going to reduce their burden. It is going to increase only @FriendsofBMTC @Christ
Just my monthly bus expense has increased by 930 rs 😒 and as per my talks with the bus conductors, their pay hasn't increased either! Who is pocketing my money? @BMTC_BENGALURU @byrathi_suresh avare @ChristinMP_ @dpkBopanna @nagarjund @nabilajamal_

How to make people go away from public transport in Karnataka?
Hubballi-Dharwad BRTS Chigari bus ticket price for the end-to-end journey from Hubballi Railway Station to Dharwad New Bus Stand is now ₹47. It was ₹38 earlier. Approx 23.68% hike in a single go!
If you pay ~₹50-₹55 petrol for a normal bike or moped to commute 20-22 km, it is cost-effective and includes last-mile connectivity. Of course, the time taken will be more than Chigari, but if your location doesn't have last-mile connectivity from the nearest BRTS, people will obviously prefer private vehicles.
Only if your location is within a 5-10 minute walk from the nearest BRTS station, is it more effective. This move will push people away from public transport.
Even in Bengaluru, on some routes where the metro is available, the metro ticket price is lesser than the BMTC ticket for short distances.
I don't know which genius committee led by some bureaucrats recommended the govt to hike fares by this much percentage and how come GoK blindly approved this.
I am damn sure that those bureaucrats never travel in public transport. They always use their official cars. In that case, how will they understand the problems of everyday commuters? This applies to the genius bureaucrats of the Metro Fare Fixation Committee as well.
P.S - I always bat for public transport. But if PT is made non-affordable to people, they'll obviously prefer their own vehicles.

Not only this
One 3A coach of 12649, 12629, 22685 which run in day time on Bangalore Hubbali section charges only AC chair car fare
Dharwad - Bengaluru route on weekdays, Rajaratha AC sleeper is ₹1185, Pallakki non-AC sleeper is ₹988, Airavat Club Class night journey is ₹977.
We will get 2A in Rani Chennamma express in general quota ticket at ₹1148 compared to ₹1185 for Rajaratha AC sleeper.
Rani Chennamma or other train's 3A ticket is cheaper than Airavat Club Class night journey. Ofcourse SL coach ticket prices in trains are very cheap.
Also, Sagara to Sirsi normal bus ticket price was ₹82 earlier, and now it is ₹102. ₹20 hiked all of a sudden.
What did GoK achieve by hiking the ticket prices unscientifically?

If anyone chooses public transport in Bengaluru, punish them with fare hikes of up to 71% in Metro & 67% in BMTC buses.
Relocate bus shelters away from convenient locations, delay Metro projects & insist on end-to-end double-decker flyovers. Is this how Bengaluru plans to encourage public transport? @CMofKarnataka
