Now the fare has been reduced by Rs. 5.

Up to 3 Kilometres = Rs. 10
Up to 10 Kilometres = Rs. 15

The new fares have come as a great relief to those who travel by local bus regularly.
However, the fares for Non AC buses (Green coloured ones) have not been changed.
The upcoming season of summers will surely bring more passengers to AC buses and the reduction of fares at this time has come as a good news for Chandigarh citizens.
