Pune auto fares to increase by Rs 2 from Aug 1 due to rising CNG prices
The Regional Transport Authority (RTA) on Monday announced a hike in autorickshaw fares by Rs 2 from August 1 in Maharashtra’s Pune district.
Autorickshaws will charge Rs 23 for the first 1.5 km instead of Rs 21, and Rs 15 for every subsequent kilometer instead of the prevailing rate of Rs 14, an RTA official said.
The new fare hike will be applicable in Pune city, Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation limits and Baramati, he said.
The RTA, headed by the district collector, revised the fare chart for the three jurisdictions in a meeting held on Monday, the official said.
The fare hike comes just nine months after the previous revision in October last year.
