While the per km fare for express buses is 75 paise, it is ₹1 for ultra deluxe services. When express buses are operated as UD services, commuters end up paying 25% more for end-to-end travel. Short-distance travellers on deluxe buses are especially affected, as they have to pay higher fare.
For instance, a commuter who typically pays ₹25 to travel from Ambattur Estate to Kilambakkam on the Madhavaram Tiruvannamalai express bus is now charging 40 on weekends. This is because the express bus, categorised as a UD service, has only one stage (for ticketing purposes) between Madhavaram and Kilambakkam.
