Ticketless travelling on the rise in buses after fare hike

Ever since the fares were revised by the state government last November, ticketless travelling in Coimbatore buses has increased. 
Tamil Nadu State Transportation Corporation, Coimbatore division, has collected Rs 1.92 lakh in fines from passengers without ticket since December. In the last four months, ticketless travelling has increased by more than 50 per cent, said a senior transport official on conditions of anonymity.
