Subject: Bus Day Details: Routes Map and Service Frequency

Dear All,

A reminder to take the Bus Day on the 4th of February!   Bus Day is a public transport campaign supported by Transport Department, BMTC, Traffic Police, Industries, Associations, and concerned citizens of Bangalore. The objective of Bus day is to wean private vehicles away from the roads to experience and quantify the difference in air quality and journey times - more private vehicles off the roads, less the congestion and pollution.  

Attached is a map of all the Vajra, Vayu Vajra, and BIG10 routes running towards ITPL and Electronic City: As you already know, two corridors identified for this Bus Day are Electronic City/ Hosur Road and ITPL/ Old Airport Road. Frequency of services on these/connecting routes will be very high, especially between 6 AM and 10 AM / 4 PM and 11 PM. Ordinary blue JNNURM buses will also be augmented/ operated on these lines to ensure smooth commuting.  

Last Mile Connectivity: Feeder Services for Electronic City (unidirectional at Rs 5/- flat fare) and ITPL (bidirectional at ordinary fare structure) will be operated every 5 minutes. Details are contained in the map link below:   http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=103045838036251021906.00047e971886a163f6e53&z=12

Please Note, BMTC personnel/volunteers wearing Bus Day caps will be at major junctions and origin points to assist you with travel queries.  

Wishing you a smooth commute on Bus Day!    

Thanks and Regards,
