Change of plans: BMTC recalls tender for e-buses

BMTC has recalled the tender for 440 electric buses comprising 120 9m non-ac buses and 320 12 low-floor AC buses as the state government decided to reduce the overall bank guarantee required to be submitted by service providers. The change is also likely to reduce the operational cost paid by BMTC in the form of per km charges.

Advance traffic management is still under cover

Another citizen, however, said that this may not prove very helpful. “It’s not of great use. Mainly we need public transportation. Government has to ensure speedy construction of the metro and introduce a rapid bus system on priority. Only then can traffic congestion be reduced,” he said. Earlier, the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) intended to install smart signals at 28 intersections in order to alleviate the traffic problems in the city by September 2023.

On Friday, DULT presented the blue print
Nearly two years after pedestrianisation of Gandhi Bazaar was proposed by the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT), there seems to some traction in the project.
On Friday, the blue print was presented before Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner N. Manjunath Prasad, DULT head V. Manjula and Chikpete MLA Uday B. Garudachar.
The busy 700-metre stretch between Tagore Park Circle and Ramakrishna Ashram has been proposed to be pedestrianised. Apart from pedestrians, only cycles and electric vehicles will be allowed. After the presentation, Mr. Prasad directed DULT officials to elicit public opinion before finalising the plan.
