Proposed BMTC Buses rerouting around MG Road

When a major infrastructure project is underway, it is usual to see that a lot of services being disrupted. Bangalore Metro is no exception to this. We recently heard about no-parking regulation on MG Road to accommodate the work on the elevated track. Now BMRC has proposed routing BMTC Buses around MG Road.

The proposed altered routes with maps and description are available on the BMRC site.

Route changes for buses going towards Kempegowda Bus Station and Shivajinagar.

Route changes for buses going towards Viveknagar and Neelsandra

Route changes for buses going towards Jayanagar and KH Road.

While this is really a confusing change (at least to start with) for the commuters, I guess there is no other choice but to do this and at least BMRC has proactively proposed these routes. While it is not yet kown if and when these changes will be implemented, we suspect that it will be sometime soon. Mr. Tripathi of BMTC has been quoted about proposed changes in Bus stops and this might be related to changing the routes too.
