I have seen this ad in Citizen Matters. This is a call for those who want to join Bus day as volunteers.

It's become a full-fledged 'tamasha'.
The news reports say that the Royal Challengers' White Mischief cheer-leading squad is already in town. Since IPL is yet to start, and they are perhaps free right now, why not engage their services too?

SB, nice catch. I think, they need to postfix Bangalore in the search criteria.

Does that really serve the purpose? Is that ad genuine and valid?
I mean, why would one like to just make the buses crowded just to accompany those people. I mean, the call should be - "All people are requested to take the bus on 8th april, as CM and his colleagues, and film stars taking the bus to their work".
Just encouraging this way will just make the buses crowded for no reason on one particular day and one particular time just to see the film stars and have a bite of those refreshments. Common man again will suffer due to lack of space in buses for wrong reasons, and the whole pupose wil be defeated and new people will not be able to get encouraged to take buses everyday from bus-day there on.

pomp and show with CM, Bus Day lost to theatrics

Few of us got these too. 8th April, CM will take the bus. We can pick a spot from where we can wave flags to the dignitaries and VIPs taking the bus. No new innovations, no new announcements from BMTC recently, looks like pomp and show is what the CM wants.
CM would do a lot better to hold a Bus Adalat on the Bus Day. I will come cheer him, whatever day, whatever time, and wave whatever flag he would want me to.
Or give us a surprise gift on the Bus Day Mr CM, allow PPP to launch BRT or BPS in the city, or outsourcing of route operations, or feeders everywhere, or Bus shelters, or an air conditioned Atal Saarige, or a booklet with all Bus routes and timings, or a Passenger information system, or ... or ... the list is endless.
No direct Bus from ORR Sarjapur junction to Embassy Golf Links

I would very much like to use BMTC to commute to my office in Embassy Golf Links. However there is no direct bus from Outer Ring road sarjapur junction to Embassy golf links. Getting down at Sony world junction and then board another bus is time consumming.
