How will the corrected Bengaluru metro fares look? 85% commuters can see corrections ranging from 5/- to 15/- @siddaramaiah @mlkhattar - Citizens conclusively proved errors in BMRCL fare hike request to FFC. Without delay please instruct BMRCL to correct the fares as below🙏🏼

Staggering that BMRCL thinks that it can get away with the unfair fare hike based on misrepresentation to FFC. Even more staggering is that Bengaluru commuters endure the fare hike silently. And if commuter silence persists, brace for another 5% hike in Feb'26. Speak up now.

In the face of clear evidence, BMRCL continues to deny it's misapplication of the fare formula. So, Bengaluru, here's an illustration of 3 mistakes in its fare hike request. - Wrong base year - Understated O&M cost/km (2016-17) - Overstated O&M cost/km(2023-24) #Rollbackfare

We are happy to ride with Namma Metro. But you have taken us for a ride with the unfair fare hike. Set it right NOW. @siddaramaiah @mlkhattar - Citizens demand fare correction, not reduction. BMRCL's laughable attempts to defend its flawed application must not be condoned.

Missed deadlines, inordinate delays, lack of connect with commuters, exponential cost escalation, inefficient operations, Not willing to learn, illegal fare hike - your achievements in 14 years. Keep it up! @Tejasvi_Surya @PCMohanMP @ChristinMP_ @naveenmzs

BMRCL continued to parrot denials in its response to Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya. Let's shine more sunlight & help BMRCL come out of brain fog. 4th FFC of DMRC correctly applied the formula (see below) @siddaramaiah @mlkhattar - Fare correction is now a moral imperative.

BMRCL's clarifications contradicts its own annual reports. Full Ph 1 fares were fixed in 2016/17 itself. Due to delays, it was again hiked in June 2017, but still with a max. fare of 60/- Bengaluru: Had BMRCL presented correct calcs to FFC, fares wouldn't have been so high.

Illusion of truth: The concept is a known psychological phenomenon, where mere repetition of a statement, regardless of its truth, increases its perceived truthfulness. Sorry BMRCL, Bengaluru doesn't fall for it. By the way 70.7 r-kms in 2023/24 is wrong too. It shd be 73.8

The Cabinet in its meeting of 15/10/2025 has approved the Urban Development Department’s proposal that the land losers of the PRR / BBC project will be given the following 5 options (Thank you CM @siddaramaiah & DCM @DKShivakumar for approving the re-worked farmer friendly

BMRCL must not delay the long overdue fare correction. Errors in calculations are obvious. While Bengaluru commuters love Namma Metro, they cannot be taken for a ride with unfair high fares. #rollbackfares @siddaramaiah @mlkhattar @Tejasvi_Surya @PCMohanMP @MoHUA_India

Akagi Nyugyo, a Japanese icecream manufacturer apologised for increasing 🍦price from 60 yen to 70 yen (around 15%). In Bengaluru BMRCL used flawed calculations to unfairly increase the fares by 72%. We can settle just for fare correction. Isn't it?

@OfficialBMRCL LEARN. Where there is a will, there’s a way! @Tejasvi_Surya @PCMohanMP @ChristinMP_ @ever_pessimist @naveenmzs @TVMohandasPai @kiranshaw @WFRising @0RRCA @solidview @srinualavilli

Mumbai Metro Line 3 is the most difficult Infrastructure Project in India 🇮🇳 - Metroman Dr E Shreedharan Those not from Mumbai must understand below points 🔸 Super dense areas of more than 50,000 people per sq km 🔸 3500 MM Annual Rainfall 🔸 Unmapped Utilities since 100 plus

This is how an MD should work taking stakeholders into confidence and moving forward collectively. @OfficialBMRCL and its leadership is exactly the opposite. Whatever decision they take up ends up creating a disaster. No clear vision and the urge to do good for people

@OfficialBMRCL an excellent lesson for you to engage all stakeholders @Tejasvi_Surya @PCMohanMP @ChristinMP_ @ever_pessimist @WFRising @srinualavilli @0RRCA @TVMohandasPai @kiranshaw @naveenmzs

It's really embarassing that Bengaluru has such stupendous incompetence in metro operations. The only thing matching this incompetence is the general apathy of citizens. Citizens who are so cost aware when bargaining with vegetable vendors are helplessly enduring high fares.

Fare correction, a must. BMRCL must not test citizens' patience by issuing more confusing clarification. Graciously accept the error & correct it. It is the right thing to do. Introspect on how the error occurred, that is what good institutions do. Numbers speak for itself👇🏽

Even High School students do better mathematical calculations than what BMRCL did for fare revision. Have written to the Managing Director of @OfficialBMRCL to address and rectify the anomalies in the revised metro fare structure. The FFC report, which was released by BMRCL

Thank you for taking this up. Hopefully @OfficialBMRCL will act @ChristinMP_ @ever_pessimist @naveenmzs @tweetsanath

Forget looking into economics, BMRCL failed to get basic mathematics right and the FFC failed to check it. Bengaluru commuters pay 32% extra fare unfairly & this is solely due to errors. @siddaramaiah - It's about time you instructed BMRCL to correct the fares. #rollbackfare
