Why transparency matters here

Real Bangalore overcharging cases (reported in the press):

₹6,800 — for a 4 km heart-patient transfer, including a ₹2,500 'oxygen charge' and ₹1,500 'waiting charge' (righttoinformation.wiki (2026))
₹8,500 — demanded to move a patient from Goraguntepalya to Victoria Hospital — the case that pushed Karnataka to regulate fares (Deccan Herald (Jul 2025))

In July 2025 Karnataka's Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao announced private ambulances would be regulated under the KPME Act with government-set fares, after repeated overcharging complaints. The Lokayukta ordered a probe into private-ambulance exploitation at Victoria Hospital.
