Manipal, April 1: The city bus fares in Udupi district have been revised by the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) with effect from April 1.

According to a press release issued here on Saturday, the Udupi City Bus Owners' Association had earlier increased the fare by 50 paise for every stage. But there was a shortage of 50 paise coins in the banks. There were also quarrels for change between bus conductors and passengers.

As per the order of the State government, all fares had to be rounded up to the rupee. After having a thorough discussion at a meeting with the office-bearers of the association, bus owners, Consumers' Forum, and other organisations on February 16, the RTA revised the city bus fares.

The minimum fare has been revised from Rs. 4.50 to Rs. 5. The new fares are (existing rates in brackets): up to 2 km Rs. 5 (Rs. 4.50), 2.1 to 4 km, Rs. 6 (Rs. 5.50), 4.1 to 6 km Rs. 7 (Rs. 6.50), 6.1 to 8 km Rs. 8 (Rs. 7.50). From 8.1 to 10 km Rs. 8 (Rs. 7.50), 10.1 to 12 km Rs. 9 (Rs. 8.50), 12.1 to 14 km Rs. 10 (Rs. 9.50), 14.1 to 16 km Rs. 11 (Rs. 10.50), 16.1 to 18 km Rs. 13 (Rs. 12.50), and 18.1 to 20 km Rs. 13 (Rs. 12.50).

Auto fares

The RTA has also revised the autorickshaw fares applicable to the three taluks of the district with effect from May 1.

As per the order of the RTA, the minimum tariff has been revised to Rs. 20 for the first 1.5 km. It will be Rs. 14 for every km thereafter.

All autorichshaw operators should compulsorily install plug metres. They should get their metres recalibrated to the revised fares and get them sealed by April 30. They should compulsorily use the metres from May 1 and charge passengers as per the reading of the metres.

Bengaluru, May 28: A complaint has been filed against BJP Karnataka state president and Lok Sabha member Nalin Kumar Kateel by the Congress Legislators charging him with issuing false information on Coronavirus to mislead the people.

The complaint was filed by MLCs Ivan D’Souza and Prakash Rathod at Vidhana Soudha police station on Thursday.

In the complaint they had alleged that “Kateel has been spreading false information that the position of World Health Organization’s (WHO) Chairman was given to India in appreciation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s achievement in Coronavirus management. 

In reality, the position was given to India on the basis of rotation. India’s stature gets affected because of such childish statements at the international level.”
