    this is the lamest daily travel frm vijayanagar to electronic city @ 8.30am you will come to know..btw volvo frequency is less and even in volvo have to pay 55rs and stand for abt 2.15hrs.almost everyone get down near electronic city only so no point in waiting for seat also...and in normal bus daily have to do footboard for 20min after that only will be able to enter bus completely....

      Whoever talked about daily pass? And with daily pass I cannot courier it back to home after reaching the destination for my Wife & kids to reach. I hope BMTC still follows one person one pass!!!

        wife, kids, courier, shirt... lol, where is this discussion going

        if public transport is being discussed, why not consider local trains also

        guys, bottom line is total amount of tax WILL NOT REDUCE.

        and we may have to pay more to get the same bike. and still on-road price will vary statewise.

            I mean just take the highway from KA to KL.
            You will realize you have crossed the KA border just by looking at the condition of the road. You never need roadsigns to tell you that you're in KL
            Ye its a sad irony that we pay highest tax and still suffer worst roads, this is a classic case of corruption...
            Need not go till KL (It's far from BLR) just travel towards TN or AP (which are ~30 & 100km respectively), you'll come to know you are out of KA (thank god these states are so near to BLR at least some times we can enjoy good roads ;-))

(fuel is more expensive here in b`lore).
            +1
            BMTC indeed is the best city bus service in India.
            But still they need to increase the fleet size for which again BLR need more roads, in which Bangalore is at the bottom of the list :-(...
            Metro will help a lot...

            Compared to other city bus services BMTC is far better, with largest volvo fleet, responsive call center, route maps on google with bus no, airport service with Wifi and personal entertainment system, well behaving drivers (at least in volvo) and much more... It's true they need even bigger fleet size, but still its good for commuting...
            And no one said whole Bangalore can travel on same pass. Of course it's non transferable. But @ 90/day for a AC bus, what more you want. (it may be a bit costly, but then every thing in Blr is costly)...
