BMTC Sufferings

Ramachandran.P.V - 18-APR-2013

       Since the time  BMTC introduced Parisaravahini buses, the travel in BMTC buses has become an ordeal. All Parisaravahinis and all the new buses have glass panels above the windows. These glass panels allow sunlight inside the bus from morning to evening, even at 1pm.
