Ferry fares in state may go up, govt to take call
The New Indian Express Kozhikode|December 18, 2024
TAKING the state water transport department (SWTD) boats would cost you more if the government approves a study by the National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (NATPAC) recommending to hike the minimum fare of passenger boats from the current ₹6 to ₹10.

However, the authorities have ruled out any hike in fare of tourist vessels operated by the department, including the popular 'Indra' (the country's largest solar-electric ferry), 'Vega-2' and 'See Kuttanad'.

"NATPAC did a study and submitted a draft report, which proposes increasing the minimum ferry charge to ₹10. Our internal committee will deliberate on the report this week and forward the same to the state government with our recommendations. The cabinet will then take a final decision on the ticket price increase and how much it should be," said Shaji V Nair, SWTD director.
