While some unions support the fare hike, others prefer to maintain current rates. A final decision will be taken in an upcoming Regional Transport Authority (RTA) meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rising Costs and Inflation Concerns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Auto unions argue that fare revisions are overdue, with the last increase in <strong>November 2021<\/strong> setting a \u20b930 base fare for 1.9 km and \u20b915 per km afterward. Rising <strong>CNG prices<\/strong>, permit fees, and maintenance costs have made operations expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Concerns Over App-Based Aggregators<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unions highlight discrepancies in Ola and Uber fares, which fluctuate between \u20b918 and \u20b960, undermining the regulated metered system. They urge strict enforcement of fare regulations for <strong>ride-hailing apps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Passenger Overcharging and Solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some drivers charge excessive fares near metro stations. To address this, unions propose displaying a <strong>toll-free complaint number<\/strong> in every auto to report overcharging or ride refusals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Impact of Metro and Bus Fare Hikes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fare hike proposal comes after <strong>Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL)<\/strong> raised ticket prices by up to <strong>100%<\/strong>, reducing daily ridership by <strong>2.3 lakh<\/strong> commuters. The Karnataka government also increased <strong>bus fares by 15%<\/strong> due to rising operational costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bengalurus auto unions are pushing for a fare hike to \u20b940 base fare and \u20b920 per km, citing rising costs. The District Transport Authority is reviewing the proposal, considering inflation and passenger impact. Auto drivers also demand regulation of app-based aggregators and stricter enforcement against overcharging. The decision will be made in an upcoming RTA meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Auto-rickshaw fares in Bengaluru may soon rise following increases in metro and bus fares.
