“Metro trip $ 300 …”: The launch of the metro in the virus is a growth, says driving is cheaper; Anger begins

When Namma Metro recently raised its prices, the repercussions were fast and sharp. Daily passengers, especially students and low -income groups, began to get rid of the metro in search of cheaper alternatives, albeit slower, such as city buses and private vehicles. The high costs with better services were not with a continued rare service in thwarting the cyclists. On the Internet, the reverse reaction acquires momentum, as the population publicly collapsed how to hurt the fee of their warehouses and waste their time.

With the increasing frustration, one of the passengers participated in the costs of traveling to travel on a typical day of Chikabidarakallu to Jp Nagar.

“I had to go to JP Nagar from Chikkabidarakallu. The trip cost me –

Cars from home to metro station – $ 70
The metro from Chikabidaarakallu to RV Road – $ 80
Walking from RV Road to destination – $ 0 (but took 13 minutes)
Walking return – 13 minutes
Metro return – $ 80
Return the last mile – $ 70
Total – $ 300

If you have paid the destination of the house, you will cost $ 250 without walking, and no climbing and rhetoric, and do not wait for taxis, “read the post on Reddit.

The user added: “Everyone is all, driving your private car saves time and money. This should not be the case with public transport, especially in manned urban centers such as Bangaluru.”

Patch the post quickly a tendon with many.

“Forgetting the last mile’s connection, there is not enough space for parking even for two wheels in most metro stations,” a user pointed out.

Another added, “It was well said, in the space in which they were allocated to parking lots, they can build a parking lot for multi -level cars, but this MFS does not make a preliminary survey of planning or population density and moving directly to civil works and later crying about the shortage of funds, and we will increase the prices and all of them, and our beautiful government continues to increase prices.”

The conversation also touched on the convenience of buses and access to them. One user wrote: “We are seriously lacking in the city’s last tendency.” “Everyone encourages the use of public transport, but no one talks about crowd and discomfort. Our buses (especially low cases) are not really comfortable, as people over 45 years old are more than 45 years of joint pain and things to take a seat on these buses and not to ignore sudden separators and narrow pollutions.”
