thats my excuse..however clutch riding in my car, I always envy the volvo riders!

blrsri, so your situation arises because you have to drive up to your nearest bus stand (its far). Or, it could be that the route you want to touch is far away from your house.

ramesh_mbabu - if that option was present, I think all will vote for that one. But some reason has got to be bigger than others. Call it a case of ruthless prioratization!

Well, everyone as a reason to use car or private vehicle. So am I. There is no direct bus to my office. I have to change two. One on the ORR and second from ORR to Bannerghatta road (towards Diary Circle) near Jayadeva. The changing bus stops are too far and there is no proper path to walk between bus stops.

I am not expecting too high fi as volvo, newly introduced Suvarna or our age old Pushpak can do the job for me - but expecting to get the seat (no standing since I also have to carry my laptop on my back just like school kids carrying books!!).

malini As I have said many times on this forum, the BMTC is a total failure and its monopoly must be ended ASAP. It's the failure of the BMTC bus services which has lead to the proliferation of personal vehicles and consequent pollution, accidents and deaths.

The govt must immediately allow private buses to operate un Bangalore.
