₹90 for this 52-kilometer stretch from Nerul to Mantralaya. “We have planned at least four services and two air-conditioned electric buses will ply through the bridge," NMMT manager Yogesh Kaduskar said as quoted by HT.

As per an NMMT official, “Bus no 115 is an air-conditioned service and has been plying from Kharkopar to Mantralaya. Still, in keeping with the residents’ demand, the service will now start from Nerul and take the route via MTHL," as quoted by the daily.

In the midst of all of this, it is still unknown if the public transport would be paying or given some concessions on the hefty toll prices as levied on the private buses. Earlier this month, it was also reported that Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) had finalised a bus route, S-145, in sync with the Chalo app to run public transport bus service on the Atal Setu, Mid-day.com had reported.

Meanwhile, the bridge, known as Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, is a 6-lane trans-harbour sea link connecting Mumbai with its satellite city Navi Mumbai, and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 12. The 21.8 km long engineering marvel, of which 16.5km is in the sea, has been built at a cost of ₹17,840 crore and will cut the distance between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai from some hours to just 15-20 minutes.
