According to an official notification issued on Monday, fares for all stages of the BRT service will see a Rs10 hike.

The minimum fare has been raised from Rs20 to Rs30, while the fare for Express Routes, a faster, premium service, has increased from Rs60 to Rs70.

Officials said the fare increase was inevitable because of rising fuel costs and essential to ensure consistent, high-quality public transport services.

KPUMA assured that despite the fare adjustment, efforts would continue to ensure reliable and efficient transit for all passengers.
