Delhi government mulls hike in bus fare
According to sources, there will be a marginal increase in the fare for air-conditioned buses, but normal bus fares will see a steep hike.
"As per the Delhi government's plans to phase out Blueline buses, it has been decided to pay private bus operators (who will run the new fleet) Rs 47.50 per kilometre. But, as the DTC will earn merely Rs 18 per kilometre, the government has to pay Rs 30 per kilometre to fill the gap. So, the hike is imperative," said a transport department official.
