“National Highways Authority of India has started collecting user fee for buses operating through the first phase of newbs, constructed express highway between Bangalore-Nidhaghatta at Kaniminike toll plaza on National Highway No-275 Bengaluru-Mysuru route from March 14, 2023,” it said.

The Chief Traffic Manager said: “With a view to offset the cost, KSRTC is constrained to levy a user fee of Rs. 15/- per passenger travelling in Karnataka Sarige buses, Rs. 18/- in Rajahamsa Buses and Rs.20/- in other buses/multi axle buses. This user fee is applicable only for the passengers traveling in the buses operated exclusively on the express highway. User fee will not be levied in other services. This is the practice followed across all the toll roads.”

Meanwhile, reports say that private bus operators are also mulling on hiking the bus fares.

The expressway was inaugrated by PM Modi on Sunday and the NHAI has started to collect tolls from Tuesday. However, a section of the population condemned the revision by stating that the sum was "exorbitant".
