Mumbaiites will have to brace for an increase in taxi, autorickshaw and bus fares.

- Surendra P Gangan

MUMBAI: With the Lok Sabha and assembly elections out of the way, the state government has proposed about 15% hike in the fares for autos and taxis, while the increase for city bus operators will range between 12% to 20%. BEST fares will remain unchanged.

The hike for autos is expected to be ₹3 for the base charge, which is ₹23 at present, but it could be ₹4 for taxis, whose minimum fare is ₹28. Auto-taxi unions and city bus agencies in various cities have been demanding a fare hike for the last three years. The last increase for auto and taxis was in October 2022.
