Integrated BMTC Volvo routes map

kaundinya - 19-JUN-2009

BMTC has approximately 25 volvo routes. An integrated map over the Bangalore city map would be useful. Or even a plain line-sketch drawing of all these integrated routes would be helpful to plan the commute. Is there any such map available on line? The website btis.in has stopped giving information (tracking) on volvo busses.

While intention of introducing the new class of service is good, the mean chosen to acheive it is 100 % bad.

Pros :

  • Provide cheaper PT for users with less income.

Cons:

Extend or overlap BIG 10 services

I happened to travel via shivajinagar instead of taking the bus to KBS to reach domlur from sanjay nagar. I reached indian express hoping to get 331-A. It did come but it was already full and around 10 more people got in to the bus. The bus was literally full with just about people managing to find place to stand.

Bangalore in Fifties and Sixties was still a Pensioners’ Paradise and very much a sleepy town. It was mostly divided into City and Cantonment with Basavanagudi and Malleshwaram well known among its residential areas. Jaya Nagar or its famous mosquitoes had not made their debut yet.

Big 10s Backfire !?

Vasanthkumar Mysoremath - 5-MAY-2009

'Wary commuters avoid Big10 buses' - Deccan Chronicle 5-5-09 page3

Purport: About 100 Big10s are not being used by commuters and the negligent occupancy ratio is contributing to further losses to BMTC - not recognised or popular even after 50 days of intro.

binaiks - 2-MAY-2009

Hello all,

This is a general question for all  - Does BMTC allow concession to normal pass holders in its Volvo services?
