The Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Indore has flagged five private video coach buses for arbitrary fare charges on the same routes leading to Mumbai and Pune. During a special inspection drive, the RTO found that fares on the Indore-Mumbai route ranged from Rs 2,000 to Rs 4,000, while fares on the Indore-Pune route varied from Rs 800 to Rs 2,100.

RTO Pradeep Sharma stated that the action followed complaints of excessive fares and violations of transport rules, and that inspection drives would continue to ensure compliance with permit conditions and passenger safety standards.
