The buzz about buses 

Coinciding with the city's spectacular growth, the erstwhile Bangalore Transport Service (BTS) transformed into the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) in 1997. Since then, its fleet has increased from about 1,800 to 6,000.

Trip Number : BMTC or any city transport

Bheema.Upadhyaya - 11-MAY-2011

This is not new thing or research. But I am sure if a trip number is mentioned in display board it will help public. I propose to bmtc to include trip numbers in display boads. 

Example: For bus number 378 Kengeri to Electronic City, 

Public Announcement System at KSRTC Bus Stand

Navning - 25-APR-2011

Hi All

Karnataka has seen a major development in KRSTC , BMTC and in their services.. A major investment has been made on luxury buses (Volvo, Marcopolo, Mercedes and many more) and also on the infrastructure on the bus stand, plus not to forget the GPRS services.

Online booking of tickets has helped a major commuters and mainly IT crowd.

A non-stop Fast Public Transport Service on Elevated Road from Silkboard To Electronic City

dvsquare - 19-APR-2011

A few days back, I had to go to Electronics city with a friend of mine, I rarely go towards that side (Hosur Road) generally. And that was the first time, we took the Elevated Flyover over the Hosur Road. I thought of an idea/suggestion that if a BMTC mini-bus kind of vehicle can just do a to-and-fro from Start of the Flyover (near SilkBoard) and Electronics-City toll-post.

BMTC, what a pity to namma bengaluru

From The Hindu, Apr 17:

At a time when Bangaloreans are craving for more buses, the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) could add only 58 new buses and 108 new routes as against the target of 1,000 buses and about 500 routes in 2010-11.

Fix the Big Circle buses

rackstar - 14-APR-2011

Recently Nayandahalli railway underbridge opened completing the ring of Bangalore ring road. But the Big circle buses still continue to ply via kengeri which will reduce its usefulness drastically. There is quantum advantage of a city ring road and that is not leveraged by BMTC. I think on the east side Big circle buses ply via Kadugodi which is again a deviation.

KSRTC charges more for in-state travel - puzzling...very puzzling !!

  • Bangalore to Coimbatore >> 345KM >> Rs.176 >> Rs. 0.51 / km

* Thanks to Bus Day, I use BMTC more often now * Bus Day made me more aware of BMTC, but thats it * I can see a visible difference in BMTC's services * Hasn't made much of a difference * I got more buses or new routes in my area
