A Bengaluru resident recently raised concerns about Namma Metro’s policy of charging extra for oversized luggage. The commuter reported being asked to pay ₹30 for carrying a suitcase, prompting a discussion online about whether the fee is fair.
Some commuters supported the charge, noting that large bags can occupy extra space and affect other passengers. Others questioned the policy, arguing it adds to commuting costs without providing dedicated storage space for luggage.
The debate has also highlighted broader issues with Bengaluru’s public transportation system, including the high cost of metro rides and limited infrastructure for passengers with bulky items. Commuters expressed that while the metro remains essential for navigating the city’s traffic, policies like additional luggage fees can add to daily burdens.
