How the Trichy to Ooty fare is worked out
Fare = billable km × the car’s per-km rate + driver bata. For a Sedan on this route that is 337 km × ₹15 = ₹5,055, plus ₹400 bata = ₹5,455. In an Innova it is 337 km × ₹21 = ₹7,077, plus ₹500 bata = ₹7,577. 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.
