How the Pondicherry to Kanchipuram fare is worked out
Fare = billable km × the car’s per-km rate + driver bata. For a Sedan on this route that is 160 km × ₹15 = ₹2,400, plus ₹400 bata = ₹2,800. In an Innova it is 160 km × ₹21 = ₹3,360, plus ₹500 bata = ₹3,860. 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.
