The Hindu
Adults have to pay ₹100, a hike of ₹30
After Mysuru zoo, the entry ticket to the palace, the city’s most visited tourist destination, will cost more.
The ticket price has been hiked from ₹70 to ₹100 for adults while the ticket for children accompanying visitors has been hiked from ₹30 to ₹50. However, for schoolchildren coming in groups, the fare has been hiked to ₹30 from ₹20.
Nearly ₹ 20 in the ticket goes towards the GST, the palace board said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
