Reduced ticket prices on Ambari, Dream Class, AC and non-AC services come into effect from Monday, offering relief to passengers travelling between Mangaluru, Udupi, Kundapur and Bengaluru.
In a move aimed at increasing passenger footfall during the travel off-season, the Mangaluru division of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has reduced fares on its premium and non-AC bus services operating between coastal Karnataka and Bengaluru. The revised fares have come into effect from Monday.
The fare reduction applies to the January to March off-season, a period when travel demand typically dips. KSRTC officials said premium service fares are usually hiked by 10–15% during peak travel months, which include April to June and October to December, while regular fares are maintained during the off-season. Officials added that weekend fares may still see a partial increase.

Among the biggest reductions are in KSRTC’s top-end premium services. The Ambari Utsav multi-axle air-conditioned sleeper coach fares have been brought down to ₹1,510 on the Kundapur–Bengaluru route, ₹1,460 between Udupi and Bengaluru, and ₹1,350 between Mangaluru and Bengaluru.
Similarly, fares for the Ambari Dream Class, another multi-axle AC sleeper service, have been reduced to ₹1,350 for Kundapur–Bengaluru, ₹1,300 for Udupi–Bengaluru, and ₹1,200 for Mangaluru–Bengaluru.
Passengers opting for multi-axle AC sitting coaches will now pay ₹1,310, ₹1,250 and ₹1,150 respectively on the Kundapur, Udupi and Mangaluru routes to Bengaluru. For the older multi-axle sitting coaches, fares have been lowered to ₹1,110, ₹1,060 and ₹1,000.
