Number of visitors falls by 30% after Mumbai zoo fee hike
The number of visitors to Mumbai's Byculla zoo declined to 2,000 as opposed to an average of around 3,000 visitors after the entry fee was hiked on Tuesday. The fee was increased from ₹5 to ₹50 to discourage visitors "who caused a nuisance to genuine visitors". Notably, the zoo collected ₹50,000 more than the usual collections after the fee hike.
