Commuters not impressed
Social media users were not impressed by DMRC’s fare price revision, with the majority demanding a reason behind the move.
“But why are you increasing the fare? What added facility or benefits would you be offering effective tomorrow?” said one user while another added: “I pay DMRC Rs 130 every day now it will be Rs 140. I thought this is steady but you guys are adjusting inflation faster than our salary revision.”
A third commented: “Please give a comprehensive chart. Why the stealthy increase!?”
