Transport Minister justifies bus fare hike
The Free Press Journal|January 04, 2025
Karnataka Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy on Friday justified 15 per cent increase in government bus fares across the board and hit out at the BJP for its protest against the hike.

Since there was a need to revise the salaries of transport staff, the bus fare revision was inevitable, he noted.

Addressing reporters here, the minister said all the four corporations, namely Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation, KKRTC Kalyana Road Transport Corporation, North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation and Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation, had been demanding an increase in bus fares.

Finally, the government took a call in the cabinet meeting on Thursday, Reddy said.
