Officials cite long-standing government-sanctioned special-day pricing to cover one-way festival operations.

Overview

  • The rates take effect immediately and remain in place through October 8 during the Dasara travel window.
  • The temporary hike adds Rs 20 on express services and Rs 30 on non-stop and premium services.
  • Revised one-way fares: Sarige Vaibhav Rs 190, Non-stop Rs 240, Rajahamsa Rs 290, Airavata Rs 450, Airavata Club Class Rs 460.
  • KSRTC says the measure is confined to the BengaluruMysuru corridor with no changes on other routes.
