Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah has demanded an immediate review of the recent fare hike for Bengaluru's Namma Metro, with fares more than doubling in some sections, causing public outcry. The fare increase has led to reduced metro ridership and many commuters seeking alternate transportation options due to affordability concerns.

Commuters in Bengaluru expressed strong disapproval over the sharp hike in Namma Metro fares, with many claiming they are now paying double the fare. Social media has seen demands for a rollback. While BMRCL attributes the hike to fare revision committee recommendations, political blame games ensue between Karnataka government and the central government over responsibility.
