Economically unviable: Metro Bus - a white elephant painted red!

Its Rs 20 whether you want a ride to very next or till end station.

Well..the government charging a flat rate is easier for them to manage and estimate their monthly budget.

Over here flat rates are the norm. To push people more into the flat rate line of thinking they have monthly passes which give unlimited rides. I have a dual subway and bus pass for $70/month. If a do (1bus+1subway) x 2 times a day x 5 days week x 4 weeks/month = 80 trips month. So that's $0.88 a trip. That's a token amount.
