The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) will commence Big Connect, its feeder service, on 19 routes from Sunday on an experimental basis for three months. Its continuation thereafter will depend on the response.

Survey for these 19 feeder services should have been done by BMTC and not completly depending upon the High court order.
Its good that Citizens have forced BMTV to look into the services between the nearest points like Vidyaranpur to Jalahalli, Bttrayanapur to Nagavara. Similar services should have been taken up connecting Whietfiles station to ITPL, Electronic City to HSR Layout, / KR Puram.
As the city has expanded with 198 wards, these service will make big sense as every one will not travell from one end of the city to other end. As many IT parks & Industry zones have come up like Mannyata Tech Park, Textile Park on Dobbballpur, IT park on Mysore road. Connecting these places with 10 Kms radius will make big difference then connecting distance of 50 kms by road.
Public should utilize these services as done in 500 series in ORR.
