Why is there such a big difference in biketaxi fares between Bengaluru and Hyderabad? @rapidoapp_@CMofKarnataka
I compared two almost identical trips shown in the Rapido/Google Maps screenshots:
🟢 Bengaluru: 4.9 km — Rapido Bike ₹90–₹91
🟢 Hyderabad:4.7 km — Rapido Bike ₹59
@rapidoapp_@CMofKarnataka or other operational costs?
@tdkarnataka : Is there a Karnataka-specific fare structure or regulatory component that contributes to these higher fares?
Riders deserve transparent and understandable pricing, especially when comparing similar journeys in two major cities.
@rapidoapp_@CMofKarnataka So the higher bike-taxi fare in Bengaluru doesn't appear to be explained simply by fuel cost.
@rapidoapp_ : Could you please explain what factors cause this difference — state regulations, permits, taxes/levies, platform charges, captain earnings, demand-based pricing, or other
@rapidoapp_@CMofKarnataka That's a difference of ₹31–₹32 for just ~200 metres difference in distance.
What is even more interesting is the fuel price. As of 23 Sept 2026, petrol is around ₹111.68/L in Bengaluru vs ₹116.15/L in Hyderabad.

In 1991, India's economy was in dire straits. Prime Minister Narasimha Rao summoned Finance Minister Manmohan Singh and asked him how much money was left in the treasury. Manmohan Singh replied that there was only enough money to run the country for nine days.
Narasimha Rao then asked how they should deal with this situation, to which Manmohan Singh replied that the value of the Indian rupee would have to be devalued by 20%. Narasimha Rao said, "Okay, call a cabinet meeting." Manmohan Singh got up and started walking towards his office. After a few steps, he turned back and told Narasimha Rao that if a cabinet meeting was called, they wouldn't be able to make this tough decision, as all the ministers would be focused on their vote banks.
Narasimha Rao told Manmohan Singh to go to his office, and 20 minutes later, a secretary delivered a letter to Manmohan Singh's room. In that letter, Narasimha Rao had simply written, "Done."
Later, when it was revealed what had happened in those 20 minutes that led to the decision being made without a cabinet meeting, surprising even Manmohan Singh, Narasimha Rao said that he had spoken to Atal Bihari Vajpayee and finalized the decision.
This shows the trust he had in Atal Bihari Vajpayee, even more than in his own cabinet. He knew that Atal Bihari Vajpayee would only say what was in the best interest of the country.
That's what a nationalist opposition looks like. After the announcement of that tough decision, the BJP did not launch any protest movement; instead, they supported the then-Congress government to bring the country's economy back on track. And now, look at the attitude of the opposition parties lead by Congress.
Salute To Atal Bihari Vajpayee. 🫡🫡
@RailMinIndia@RailwaySeva@AshwiniVaishnaw we are travelling in MEMU Train number 66591.. In this train there will be no water available on any toilets.. This is everyday issue. Kindly look into this.. Many are avoiding the use of rest rooms because of no water.
Listen to what a Native Kannadiga Puneeth Kerehalli is saying 👇
"When I asked the police to arrest the Bangladeshis, they arrested me instead, claiming I might abscond.
I attend every court hearing and was present at the spot, yet the police assumed I would flee and put me in a police jeep. Meanwhile, they trusted the Bangladeshis to come on their own to police station."
So, is congress police is trusting illegal Muslims over a native Kannadiga?
Is this worth 10KG free rice?
You need to watch it — it's a purely emotional yet logical take on the #PahalgamTerroristAttack.
And yes, the guy is a Kashmiri Muslim himself (with some abusive words included).
