Bengaluru’s Namma Metro is officially India’s priciest transit network. Following a brutal 71% fare hike, daily travel now demands a ₹70,000 monthly salary for true affordability. With fares hitting ₹90 and annual 5% increases locked in, commuters are abandoning trains for gridlocked roads. This transit crisis is crushing the middle class, turning essential mobility into an elite luxury in the tech capital.
