BMTC Fleet Size: The transport utility’s staff strength has decreased from 34,114 in 2017-18 to 28,620 as of Jan 2024. The official added that the demand for AC buses to IT corridors too has diminished since Namma Metro connected to Whitefield last year, and more people are expected to shift to Metro once operations begin on the 19-km Yellow Line from RV Road to Bommasandra. The BMTC fleet includes 585 AC buses.
