Passengers of five State Express Transport Corporation (SETC) buses, who were travelling to Nagercoil from Chennai, had to wait at the Kayathar toll plaza for a while in the early hours of Friday as SETC had failed to recharge the FASTag.
When a SETC bus, attached to the Nagercoil depot, reached the Kayathar toll plaza at 4 a.m. on Friday, the bus was stopped by the personnel there as the SETC administration had failed to recharge the toll for the bus in FASTag, the National Highways Authority of India’s electronic toll collection system.

The Ministry of Railways has announced a rationalisation of passenger fares, effective from December 26, aiming to balance rising operational costs while keeping passenger impact minimal. Suburban services and Monthly Season Ticket holders remain unaffected, while ordinary and AC classes see small increases. The move is expected to generate ₹600 crore in revenue and strengthen safety and efficiency across the railway network.
