Mangalore :  There is some good news for regular travelers on the Mangalore-Udupi-Manipal route in the KSRTC’s air conditioned Volvo buses. KSRTC Divisional Controller Ramesh has hinted that the fares   which were increased some time ago were all likely to be reduced  from July 1 onwards. It may be recalled here that the fare which initially was Rs 65 to Udupi and Rs 70 to Manipal was increased to Rs 80 on the grounds of increasing maintenance costs.

The hike was resented by several people who were frequent travelers of Volvo buses.
