BMTC buses end up paying heavy toll. Bangalore’s present garbage dumping site is filling fast. These and other key developments from last week.

Hydrocarbons are on their way out and solar or electrical vehicles will become the order of the day, says former Transport Commissioner and director at the KSRTC. But for that, Bangalore needs an urgent change in mindset and policy.

A press note from Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) states that as many as 1200 buses will be exclusively operated from Bengaluru Kempegowda Bus Station to Dharmastala, Kukkesubramanya, Shivamogga, Hassan, Mangaluru, Kundapura, Sringeri, Horanadu,

Looking to head to Mysuru for the annual Dasara procession, or maybe head out of Bengaluru for the long weekend? You could choose to travel by the special buses that KSRTC is operating this season.

Members of Bengaluru Bus Prayanikara Vedike called attention to many problems they face with BMTC, and urged the authorities to find solutions to make the system more usable and affordable to all.

Various trade unions have called for a bandh against the Road Safety and Transport bill to be tabled by the government in the parliament. Why are they objecting to the bill? Here is some explanation.

KSRTC has launched special buses to Kerala, in the occasion of Onam festival.

KSRTC buses at the Shantinagar depot will now be cleaned by a new washing machine, one that has been built in-house.

Three special tour packages by KSRTC are ideal for those who want to get away from the din of Bangalore during the long weekend next week.

BMTC staff is demanding pay hike among other things. Though the officials said there will be adequate services, commuters were left at Auto drivers’ mercy.
