People Power ✊🏽! Today, on March 9, exactly a month after the unjust Namma Metro fare hike, commuters took over 'Namma' Metro to remind us that it should be 'OUR' metro. The clear DEMAND——@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike
Metro now costs more than a one-time meal for nearly 1 in 3 commuters. A 13% drop in ridership & a 20% drop in February alone show how fare hikes push people off public transport—ALL AT THE COST OF INCREASING POLLUTION AND CONGESTION .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike
ONE MONTH LATER, the damage is clear. The fare hike is pushing people off public transport, worsening traffic and AQI, and hurting the city's working class. We DEMAND not just a reversal, but a reduction in fares. .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike
Politicians are busy playing blame games over the Bengaluru Metro fare hike—but commuters are paying the price! We DEMAND a Metro Fund with contributions from the state & centre to ensure affordable fares! .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike

Bengaluru now has the MOST EXPENSIVE metro fares in India. A worker earning ₹10,000/month now would spend ₹2,500+ on the metro alone. How can this be called "public" transport if the public can't afford it? .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike .@clifroz
🚨 RAISING FARES = RAISES INEQUALITY🚨 When public transport becomes unaffordable, already disadvantaged groups are further pushed out of public spaces .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike
A public transport system is only as good as its accessibility. Bengaluru Metro’s fare hike has made public transport unaffordable for many. Can we even call it ‘Namma’ anymore? .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike
Ridership dropped; air POLLUTION rose! By prioritising profits, Namma Metro is doing itself a disservice by disincentivising public transport use. Public transport is a public good, NOT a profit-making venture! .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike
Pollution levels in Bengaluru have risen as Metro use dips after the fare hike .@OfficialBMRCL How can you justify this move? Higher public transport fares = More private vehicles = More congestion = More pollution. #RevokeMetroFareHike https://t.co/h1OxypvMni
ONE MONTH was all it took for the DAMAGE to show. Ridership has plummeted since the Feb 9 fare hike, while traffic and pollution soar. The dream of 1 million daily riders? A distant memory. @OfficialBMRC #RevokeMetroFareHike .@Suchithkidiyoor https://t.co/wxapqtMWbV
It's been a MONTH since the Namma Metro Fare Hike. Ridership has crashed. Commuters are suffering. Pollution is rising. Pricing people out of public transport is NOT a mobility solution—it’s a policy failure .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike .@BBPVedike .@PranavBalakrish
The government is destroying the Dwarka forest cover in the name of development, despite the simultaneous challenges of extreme heatwaves and poor air quality.

@nitin_gadkari@narendramodi is it the new India that all of us dreamt of.
Cutting of big trees for development and ruining the nearby residential area to save some cost.
No one is listening,even the local police is with greedy Contractor.
