BMTC in Metro Times

27-JUN-2017 09:25:15 AM -- Vasanth

Ever since the launch of Metro, especially after East West Purple line was fully implemented, Bengaluru is saying 'Metro, Metro'. BMTC commuters, office bus users and many car drivers have switched over to Metro.  Ridership has already touched 1.8 Lakhs on purple line.

Poor BMTC Maintenance - City Loosing lots of hi-tech buses?

14-DEC-2015 01:40:07 PM -- Vasanth

I recently travelled to New Delhi and used city buses as well as saw many Marcopolo buses operating there, both Diesel and CNG without any problems and huge amount of smoke they emit in Bengaluru. Bangalore had many Marcopolo buses which although comfortable inside, was emitting too much smoke outside , low pickup and frequent failures.

BMTC costliest in country

6-NOV-2014 05:19:40 AM -- tellvkb

Recently Petrol and diesel prices have come down but BMTC has not reduced its prices.

A simple comparison shows why people should not use BMTC.

Avoid Volvos, BMTC buses and increase more traffic in city.

Root cause is public transport mode is way tooooooooo costly.

Petrol rate : 70.5  Mileage Bike at 50Kmpl Car 15 kmpl

Late night public transport- Does it mean our city is safer for women?

24-OCT-2014 01:28:40 PM -- amithpallavoor

A city with a population of over a crore needs a transport system round the clock. Unfortunately, this legitimate demand of citizens seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Even the much touted Bangalore Metro system shuts it services at 10:00 PM. This is unlike DMRC whose services run till 11:00 PM.

7-SEP-2014 12:05:59 PM -- Vasanth

Government of Karnataka planned for Bangalore Metro 11 years back, way back in 2003 and the actual work started only in late 2007. Bangaloreans could get first ride of Meto in late 2011, after 4 years of start of project for only 7kms. Second stretch of Reach 3 covering 11kms was opened after 2.5 years in March 2014.
