How the Ambur to Salem fare is worked out
Fare = billable km × the car’s per-km rate + driver bata. For a Sedan on this route that is 170 km × ₹15 = ₹2,550, plus ₹400 bata = ₹2,950. In an Innova it is 170 km × ₹21 = ₹3,570, plus ₹500 bata = ₹4,070. Extra stops or detours use the same per-km rate, and nothing is added for the driver’s return journey on a one way drop.
