The revised prices will be in effect from Wednesday at KR Puram, Bangarapet, Tumakuru, Hosur, Dharmapuri, Kengeri, Mandya, Hindupur, Penukonda, Yelahanka, Banaswadi, Carmelaram, and Whitefield railway stations. This will continue till November 10, SWR officials said.
Earlier, on September 10, platform ticket prices were raised from Rs 10 to 50 at KSR Bengaluru, Yeshwantpur, and Bangalore Cantonment railway stations, citing the same reason.
