BMTC Buses - volvo vs marcopolo

rashmi - 17-OCT-2011

Hi, I catch 201 bus regularly. There are three buses available, one is 201R (normal bmtc bus)  with fare around Rs.12, other one 201R(volvo) with fare Rs.30. I was told that since volvo has A.C. facility and other better facilities, it costs almost double. I dont need an AC bus for a short journey.

Part of me perhaps was worried of becoming infamous for the wrong reasons, being mis-understood etc.
