I have been using public transport for 2KM ride to work for a month and I am not sure if BMTC can sustain running their Volvos and Suvarnas with the kind of occupancy. The Vayu Vajras towards Airport is a big money looser for BMTC. In fact I took a ride in a Vovlo bus in peak hour towards MG road and the bus was never full! So I remain skeptical of any major change in Bangalore as things stand.Jayadeep(JDP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13871541935050882722noreply@blogger.com
