Innovations in BMTC
The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is doing many innovations very periodically to help the city-bus commuters.
Now there is lot of new things happening @ BMTC.
Recently BMTC has introduced a special kind of buses which are very unique in India.
1. Ladies Special Bus:
A new Pink color buses are on the roads of the city, these buses are dedicated only for Women & all Kids below 12 years.
This is specially considered with lot of complaints from women commuters where they used to face lot of issues from men’s in bus, currently there are 10 buses playing & soon plan to add another 25 buses.
2. Hospital Special Bus:
This is new concept from BMTC in order to help the patients coming to Bangalore to visit various well know hospitals, Here only patients with a helper or a supporter is allowed to travel, Currently there are 3 routes operating from Kempe Gowda bus terminal & planned to introduce much more based on the response from the people. In order to identify this bus easily this will we having a red cross on the bus.
3. Shopping Special Bus:
A new way of helping the public to visit various shopping area’s in the city.
4. Three-door Bus:
A new three door buses with a single entrance & separate exit points for men & women. This is been in place after a suggestions considered from women bus commuters, Here conductor will sit at the entry point & makes easy to buy the ticket & move inside the bus.
Let’s wish a great success for BMTC for public friendly innovations.
Yeah I must confess BMTC has come up with really wonderful ideas for all the citizens. I just wish that along with this, they could maintain the timings of their buses as well. It can get really frsutrating at times.
The two drawbacks of BMTC is 1.Timings and 2.Rash driving.
Timeings we need to compromise as this totally depends on traffic.
I am sure that these innovations are going to be a success just like when they introduced volvo buses. Hopefully this makes more people think of switching from private transport to use public transport.
However the frequency of services should be good enough that people doesn’t end up waiting a lot of time which makes them frustrated and rather not go with it.
