Is Yeddy misusing BMTC buses?

silkboard - 26-NOV-2010

Wouldn't you like to know if Yeddy is paying from his pocket for the self promoting Ads that are appearing on the back of BMTC Buses?

BMTC and publishing bus timings

GNT - 25-NOV-2010

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

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

ss87 - 19-NOV-2010

 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.
