BMTC Buses - volvo vs marcopolo

17 October 2011 - 9:08pm — rashmi

Hi, I catch 201 bus regularly. There are three buses available, one is 201R (normal bmtc bus) with fare around Rs.12, other one 201R(volvo) with fare Rs.30. I was told that since volvo has A.C. facility and other better facilities, it costs almost double. I dont need an AC bus for a short journey.

A quaint and strange station : Byappanahalli railway station

16 September 2011 - 6:12pm — Sanjeev

Wearing a deserted look, the Byappanahalli railway station is in dismal shape boasting of the apathy and disinterest exhibited on the part of the authority concerned. The comfort of using other hi-tech railways stations of the city with facilities like the digital indicators and computerised systems vanishes, as soon as one comes face-to-face with this desolated base.

Extend K1 and K3 buses

8 September 2011 - 4:25pm — tellvkb

Hi,

Can someone take action and suggest this solution to BMTC. EVen after many complaints they are ignorant on this one.

Instead of putting new buses they can just extend K1 and K3 buses from Koramanagala bus stop to HSR CPWD quarters stop.

By just increaseing 3 stops it will benefit 1000s of people plying on these routes.

Customer facing staff of BMTC

6 September 2011 - 11:38am — Bheema.Upadhyaya

Observation :Now I am using BMTC services almost daily (Mostly route 378) and getting a feel of the BMTC customer facing staff and their attitudes and langauges. I observed at least 25% conductors use rude language by default. What I mean by default is usage of poor language without any provocation by commuter's behavior or age or gender.
