Red Board buses v/s Black board buses

 BMTC's ordinary services are of 2 types-the red board catering to the suburban areas and the black board catering to the city areas.

Crushing bus door

4 August 2010 - 12:26pm — murali772

A 21-year-old man was almost crushed to death when the hydraulic doors of a BMTC bus closed in on him on Sunday evening. Prannoy David Rao hurt his shoulders and chest but what hurt more was the reaction of those around: The bus conductor yelled at him and some passengers guffawed at his plight instead of rescuing him.
