When the essential commodities of the human need, including local bus fare are shooting-up, the Bangalorean got a temporarily relief for local transportation within the city limit from BMTC. Only, the IT / BT people use to utilize these services and in the views of common man, to have a small ride in the posh-air-conditioned, red coloured Vajra or Volvo bus, the fare is unacceptable to their dreams!
Normally, these buses charge a minimum of Re. 10 to Re. 200 in the routes they ply within the city and often it will be occupying the crowded roads of Bangalore with its empty coach.
With the induction of 50 new buses of this type, BMTC has extended the services of Volvo to the people who can't offer for a small ride. Especially to attract the attention of the people, BMTC is offering a ride anywhere in the city for a mere Re. 1 for a period of 4 days from Thursday to Sunday of the second week of September 2008. Let's hope this temporary plan be executed for a long term plan to offer the best services to the citizens!!
