As expected, slowly 'Take the Bus' campaign is getting highlighted in News media. In coming days we will see more coverage in mainstream media. BMTC sources inform that there are plans for publicity via radio as well. Watch out then for Bus day news in the papers.

What would be or is the one reason for you to say 'NO' to BMTC Bus for daily commute?

* Expensive Ticket Price * No direct route * Too few buses on my route (frequency, routing) * Very hard to change the bus (interchanges, routing) * Unreliable Service and schedule (information) * Bus stand too far from office/home (last mile) * Buses are crowded and uncomfortable * Bus slower than my car/bike (speed)
