MSRTC bus fares hiked by 17 per cent

The main reasons for the hike is the huge increase in fuel (diesel) costs which has gone up by 57% past 18 months. A majority of state buses run on diesel although there is plan to convert 1000 into CNG and over 2,000 into electric buses in near future. The MSRTC has a total fleet of 18,000 buses across the state.
