Public Transport

Not more auto's; instead, good shuttle bus services please!

30 November 2010 - 1:55pm — murali772

The transport department and traffic police are mulling over reforms that could scale up the number of autorickshaws in the city from about 80,000 to 95,000. Simukltaneously, however, the Transport commissioner, Bhaskar Rao, himself states “The system has many anti-social elements. The common man is a victim.

Shortcut routes for Buses

30 November 2010 - 10:32am — Vasanth

BMTC buses take the main roads whereas private transport takes the short cut routes wherever possible. This in comparison will increase the travel time of BMTC buses as against private transport making private transport more attractive.

Bangalore to Whitefield on Pushpulls

27 November 2010 - 7:44pm — shyamm

Though my office is in Electronic City, for a new project I had to visit our company's branch office in GRTechPark, Whitefield for 3 days. This building is next to ITPL. I had to take public transport on all 3 days to reach the office in the afternoons while the drop back home would be provided on the company cab as it would be late in the night.

So the routes, at least the end points, are finally out from the DPR for PH II.

BMTC and publishing bus timings

25 November 2010 - 10:42pm — GNT

We all know that BMTC can't maintain a simple web site with details about their services and timings.

Is it possible to get an Excel sheet with all their routes and timings in regular intervals?

I remember seeing one before the first Bus Day. After that, I haven't seen an updated one.

Should we offer help in putting one together?

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.
