Madhya Pradesh Government Revises Bus Fares, Increasing Rates Across Categories
The Madhya Pradesh government has increased bus fares statewide, setting the base fare for ordinary buses at Rs 2 per kilometre with a minimum ticket price of Rs 10. Premium services like Deluxe, Sleeper, AC, and Super Luxury buses will charge higher rates, ranging from 25% to 75% above the base fare. The fare revision follows demands from bus operators concerned about rising costs and excludes additional night charges for certain bus categories. This change will affect daily commuters and long-distance travelers across the state.
