Road widening - Futility & Alternatives

No bus to majestic on ORR

As we all know K3 bus runs from koramangala. This bus can be extended till Parangipalya which is just 3 stops from KML. This way all HSR layout residents will get direct bus to jayanagar, vijayanagar, iskcon,etc places.

 

So can anyone suggest this to BMTC to extend K3 service till Parangipalya bus stop.
