Sorry State of Bengaluru Volvos or Vajras

2-MAY-2016 02:53:15 PM -- Vasanth

Sorry state of BMTC's Volvos will get tears in your eyes. All the Volvos are failing on the roads. Many of the buses making various noises such as crank shaft break down, buses giving fatal alarm with drivers still driving the buses. Such a beauty of a machine is being spoiled by BMTC like anything.

Poor BMTC Maintenance - City Loosing lots of hi-tech buses?

14-DEC-2015 01:40:07 PM -- Vasanth

I recently travelled to New Delhi and used city buses as well as saw many Marcopolo buses operating there, both Diesel and CNG without any problems and huge amount of smoke they emit in Bengaluru. Bangalore had many Marcopolo buses which although comfortable inside, was emitting too much smoke outside , low pickup and frequent failures.
