'Pay more for buses, autos & cabs in Kolkata'

Be prepared to shell out more to move around in the city — be it in buses, autos or cabs — once the lockdown is lifted. Private bus operators on Monday proposed a nearly three-time hike in bus fare to compensate for the reduced passenger capacity to stick to social distancing norms. If the government approves the minimum fare of Rs 20 for the first 4km instead of Rs 7 now, the operators said they would start services from Monday. There will, however, be no fare revision of buses operated by state transport undertakings (STUs).
