BMTC's Trunk & Feeder services

Bangalore BMTC Bus Citizen Reports efficiency Routing Feeder Service Electronics City
BMTC has at long last announced commencement of the Trunk & Feeder Services (check here), which was what was envisaged when the Big-10 services were started. Prajagalu, including me have been asking for it from long - check this. Well, better late than never.
But, what is not understood is the need for the separate services to Electronic City and Chandapura, when you are providing a service every 5 minutes to Attibele. Anyone can enlighten me on this?
The success of the scheme will depend largely on the efficient operation of the feeder services. From BMTC, that's going to be a big ask. Perhaps it's time the government considered bringing in reputed private operators here.

Feeder system not working efficiently for Reach 1 Metro
Vasanth - 19 September, 2013 - 14:50
Co-ordination between BMRCL and BMTC seems to be quiet less. BMTC has announced huge trunk feeder system for Hosur Road. If similar measures are started for the reach 1 Metro between ITPL and Byappanahalli and Bellandur / Sarjapur Road on ORR to Byappanahalli, usage of Metro would increase. Similarly from corporation circle and Majestic / Mantri Mall ( Mantri Mall since reach 3 Metro ends there and it is going to be operational by November).
We all know that it takes only 14 minutes between Byappanahalli to MG Road. This would save lot of time for a commuter although multiple hops.

No bus stop at Yeshwantpur Railway Station/Metro Station

It becomes extremely difficult for people alighting at Yeshwantpur metro or railway station to catch a bus, because the bus stop is nowhere to be seen nearby.
Could the BMTC introduce bus stop in this very important area?

Some two years back the bus shelter in good condition at the junction of Indiranagar 12th Main and 100ft.Road (West side) was demolished by BBMP Advt. Dept.
After much delay and struggle it was rebuilt at the same location (in spite of request from commuters to shift it away from the signal).
Now a few days back this new shelter has been again demolished overnight for reasons best known to the concerned authorities.
Now the bus commuters are left with NO shelter from hot sun and rain.
It is not known how many days/months it will take to provide the shelter again, if it is intended to do so.
On behalf of the bus commuters and residents, it is requested to take urgent action for rebuilding this shelter and also a shelter in the reverse direction (East side of 100ft.road) which is a long-felt need.
