The officials of the Chennai Metro Transport Corporation informed that the revised fares for the 10 days, weekly, and monthly passes will be announced in a day or 2.
For the benefit of passengers in the Chennai Metro buses, 3 types of bus passes are presently being issued – Rs. 50 (1-day), Rs. 300 (1-week), and Rs. 1000 (1-month). These passes would be beneficial to those passengers who need to travel by more than 1-bus to different destinations.
However, these passes will not be valid in the Chennai Metro Air conditioned buses.
Meanwhile, as the revised fares for the above 3 bus passes have not been announced, the bus-passes could not be issued yesterday (Sunday, 21st January). Thousands of passengers were disappointed due to this.
The officials explained that the revised fares for the 3 types of bus passes have not been decided.
As the decision on the revised bus-pass fares is in progress, it may be announced in a day or 2. It is expected that it may be 60% more than the present rates.
