Using alternate routes

19 November 2010 - 6:22pm — ss87

Having used BMTC for almost a decade, learnt many interesting experiences. To reach a place we generally prefer to travel by the shorter route and if possible direct bus. But shorter route/direct route may not always be the faster route,and if involves changing buses might be expensive too.

Double Decker Buses in Bangalore

16 November 2010 - 2:06pm — Clive VanBuerle

When I went to school in the late 80’s and early 90’s, we enjoyed taking the double Decker bus number 134 to Ulsoor from Shivajinagar. I know there were other routes like 131 and 150. BTS became BMTC and soon the double Decker buses became history and faded away from the roads and our memory.

No one wants to go in City Buses

10 November 2010 - 8:29am — jakkura

CITY BUSES ARE SO much full and even girls or old people will not get a seat. And who wants to go to ITPL or Electronic city or Yellahanka or Penya how will they go soon at 8 o clock office hours. Only some of the IT sector people have flexible hours, and still IT sector does not have work from home option, very few companies have work from home option.

BMTC and monopoly - opening up Local Bus Transport in Bangalore

1 November 2010 - 11:53pm — silkboard

BMTC has monopoly in operating road based public transport services in Bangalore. No-one is allowed to operate buses to carry general public in Bangalore. Special and closed situations like Private companies shuttling their employees, and schools hauling in their students are the only exceptions to this monopoly.

Interchange hubs for inter-city travelers in Bangalore?

1 November 2010 - 6:01pm — silkboard

How is Bangalore doing on Interchanges or transit centers? Not to be mixed with the burning need for local transit / bus change centers, where TTMCs have simply not filled the gap, and changing buses is a painfully inconvenient thing in general, the problem area is with long distance public transport. How do people arrive at the city, and then go to their final destination point?

27 October 2010 - 10:38am — rackstar

Shantinagar TTMC is built on one side of road, so we have 2 junctions on adjacent roads. Though those junctions have only bus traffic, still additional junctions formed. Imagine 2 extra junctions near hebbal junction when hebbal TTMC is built.
