A WAY OUT FOR BMTC: Rationalise routes, increase peak-hour trips
Commuters, experts talk about a new ADB report and a way out for bus-starved BMTC
Hello and welcome to DH Radio.
The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), with its grossly inadequate fleet of about 6,500 buses, has a huge problem.
But, as a recent Asian Development Bank (ADB) report shows, there is a possible way out: Route rationalisation.
For instance, the report says that just by increasing its peak-hour schedules and diversifying its routes to under-served areas,BMTC can both increase its revenues and reduce commuter wait times at bus stops.
To understand this in more detail, DH Radio's Rasheed Kappan speaks to Shaheen Shasa from the Bengaluru Bus Prayanikara Vedike, designer and commuter Chinmay Dholakia and retired Director, Operations, KSRTC, Rajkumar.
