Following is a letter from CTM(O), BMTC with regards to the paticipation and engagement of Praja members with them.
A couple of months back discussions were held on Praja on ways to encourage public transportation (including Volvo usage) and also on the topic of BMTC website. Following the discussions, a list of all suggestions that we were made was complied and sent to BMTC.
The discussion can be accessed here, here and here.
Dear Praja,
Greetings from BMTC!
We would like to express our gratitude to Praja for the Vajra feedback report. MD, BMTC has also appreciated the same.
Public feedback is valuable to us and we appreciate your effort at reaching out to us. We will keep in mind your suggestions to help BMTC improve its service and operations. We are also happy to inform you that your suggestions to improve our website have been incorporated in our new website ( to be launched shortly).
Moving forward, we request Praja to help us with our Outreach Campaign. The details of which were discussed in the last meeting held in April. We would like to call for a more focused discussion this time. Please be in touch with BMTC to coordinate another BMTC-Praja meeting.
We look forward to partnering with Praja in making BMTC the preferred mode of travel in Bangalore
