Bangalore BMTC Bus Analysis Transportation public transport Pushpak

Well one of the most horrible service provided by BMTC is the pushpak service-a single driver-cum conductor, single door, single passage with 5 seats in a row instead of 4 and is one of the least preferred bus for commuting in the city unless there is no other way to go.

Well good news is that  the pushpak buses are getting converted to various other buses such as Ordinary and Atal Sarige and second door has been carved out for some of them-some photos of the same can be seen

The photos attached are few of them found online-apart from these  I have noticed

  • KA-01-F-1994 running from Jayanagar depot on route No.2
  • KA-01-F-3xxx running on route 215D from Jayanagar depot(Same bus which met with accident at 9th block, after driver got heart attack, killing the conductor)

Hopefully we may see all the Pushpaks converted to Ordinaries or Atal Sarige shortly

Supposed to be launched but actually was never launched!! Only Vegadootha name was given and this bus ran on route No. 600C(Banashankari to Chandapura) as a normal service and has now gone for FC to get the colour change-No news or any information available about when such service was planned

Good for the people of Bangalore. The driver doubling up as the conductor was one of the most dangerous things on Bangalore roads.
