This is the first fare revision since 2017, when the last hike was carried out based on the recommendations of the Fourth Fare Fixation Committee (FFC).
DMRC confirmed the revision in response to a commuter’s query on social media, stating that the increase is “nominal,” aimed at balancing operational costs and ensuring continued service improvements.
