Delhi Metro fare hike: Students, Delhiites suffer; Ola, Uber, DMRC cheer

Delhi Metro fare hike has evoked mostly negative responses from commuters

By now, most regular Delhi Metro commuters would have experienced for themselves the fare hike effected from October 10. To make the matters worse, this is the second hike in the space of five months. Despite opposition from the Delhi government, Delhi Metro on Tuesday increased its fares. Barring the minimum fare of Rs 10 for a distance of 0-2 km, which will remain the same, fares have been raised for all other slabs. This has evoked mostly negative responses from commuters and caused chaos all over Delhi-NCR.
