Bengaluru commuters may face annual Namma Metro fare increases of up to 5% starting February, following recommendations from the Fare Fixation Committee (FFC). This proposal comes a year after a significant 71% fare hike in February 2025, which made Namma Metro the costliest in India. Commuters express frustration over rising costs, arguing public transport is becoming unaffordable and questioning if service improvements match price increases. The FFC's recommendations are legally binding, allowing annual adjustments until a new committee is formed.
