BMTC losing out on outdoor advertising revenues?

silkboard - 15-SEP-2013

You see colorful, big, bright, and sometimes visually polluting hoardings, legal as well as illegal, crowding out road side air space almost everywhere in Bengaluru. The cacophony of imagery and colors tells you that there is decent demand for outdoor advertising.

Save women commuters from sexual harassment in BMTC buses - suggestion

Vasanthkumar Mysoremath - 15-SEP-2013

Women commuters are the silent sufferers of certain harassments being meted out to them during their journeys in BMTC buses. With uncontrolled influx of people into Namma Bengaluru,  more and more people are using the BMTC buses.  One can find young women rushing to board buses, however crowded they may be, with the sole intention of reaching their destinations.

Wonder what happened to TTMCs

marsdon - 5-SEP-2013

Hi, I was wondering what happened to TTMC's or Bus stations. I stay near K R Puram. I feel there should be a Bus Stand or TTMC in KR Puram so that it can be well connected to various parts of city. For e.g If they introduce a BMTC bus from K R Puram to Whitefield via Bhattarahalli or via Budigere Cross. Half the people would prefer this since this less crowded.

Dedicated Bus / High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) Lane around CBD

Vasanth - 3-AUG-2013

We see huge number of Buses passing through some of the CBD Area in Bangalore few of the roads. Despite of that, there is no dedicated lanes for BMTC buses and other High Occupancy Vehicles such as office shuttles. This slows down Public Transport Buses and also leads to accidents such as Buses hitting 2 wheeler leading to fatalities.

BMTC making losses

Dear Prajaites,

Congestion and Traffic Woes - Ramamurthy Nagar Main Road from ITI Gate to ORR.

msshankar1961@gmail.com - 11-JUL-2013

Off late the entire stretch of  Rama Murthy Nagar Main from ITI gate to ORR is becoming so congested and trafic woes are unbearble.Adding the fuel is by parking of the BMTC Buses without any common sense at the Bus stops. From ITI gate to ORR we need to come behind the Bus only. No way, we can able to overtake the BMTC Buses. 

BMTC incorrect stage, costlier than own vehicle

tellvkb - 3-JUL-2013

Hi All,

Just to bring classic example how BMTC loots people.

Place: Agara junction to SIlk board

Distance: 3.3 kms Fare 12 rs (normal bus)

Stage: 2 stages

As per rule we need to have stage for every 2 kms but here we have 3 stage just to loot people.

HU's call to discuss BMTC's unjustified bus fare hike

murali772 - 21-JUN-2013

As you may all be aware, the BMTC has biked bus-fares by 16%, with the minimum rate now Rs 6. BMTC has been increasing the fares steeply every few months and the rate has almost doubled in the last 3 years. As a result even bus-travel has become unaffordable for a large number of people and they are forced to either walk or cut down on other essential expenditure.
