BMTC slashes bus fares

Looks like BMTC listened to my suggestions:), they have reduced the fares on the Vajra(Volvo buses) and Suvarna bus services and you can use the daily pass in Suvarna buses as well. So the rush hour Volvo and Suvarna buses looks like rush hour buses now!

Volvo minimum fare is Rs.5/= and Suvarna is Rs.4/= now. My fare has reduced Rs.8/= on Volvos and Rs.6/= on Suvarnas. I think the move make sense because it is difficult to attract the car-driving bangalorean to the Volovo buses, he is too busy to wait for a public bus instead of waiting in the trafic snarls making calls on his mobile phones! It is the normal bus users who would utilize these services.

But the Vayu Vajra services to Airport are still making trips to the airport without commuters - BMTC should be saner to stop it immediately and cut down the losses.
