Bengaluru | Saturday | 17th August, 2019

Summary:

S Lalitha ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: Following frequent complaints from the public about the absence of proper tariff boards at parking lots of railway stations in the city, Bangalore Railway Division has recently ordered all contractors to display such boards at three prominent spots within the premises. The order has also specified that computerised bar-coded coupon needs to be issued with handheld terminals by the staff at the parking lot. “My ticket to Hosur from KSR station was much cheaper than the parking fare. Many on Twitter too spoke of being overcharged at Yesvantpur and KSR railway stations. Passengers spoken to at Cantonment railway station though did not seem to have complaints.“I was charged Rs 10 for two hours which is quite reasonable I think,” said S.
