“The idea of feeder buses is to ensure Metro passengers use them for first- and last-mile connectivity and avoid private vehicles. But Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout is still being developed, so we will run buses there only after a few months,” he added. “We are also planning to operate buses to places like Vishweshwaraiah Layout.

This will ensure better frequency of services mainly for Metro passengers,” said a senior BMTC official. “In addition to these feeder buses, we are also operating normal ones to Rajarajeshwari Nagar, Bengaluru University, Kengeri, Uttarahalli, Banashankari, Kengeri Satellite Town, Sumanahalli and Bidadi. Of the 10 routes, only two will have buses running at a frequency of more than 15 minutes: RR Gate-Ganakal (25 minutes) and Kengeri TTMC-Thalaghattapura (20 minutes). The route length varies between 5km-18km and covers places like RR Gate, Poornaprajna Layout, Ganakal, Ramasandra, Ullal Satellite Town, Tavarekere, Raghuvanahalli, Bidadi and Talaghattapura. Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has decided to operate 42 such buses on 10 routes from three places - RR Gate (Rajarajeshwari Nagar), Bengaluru University Gate and Kengeri TTMC. BENGALURU: Kengeri Metro passengers can get a feeder bus every 15 minutes from Monday.
