Transport Min. Ramalinga Reddy inaugurates redeveloped parking facility at KBS
Bengaluru: Transport and Muzrai Minister Ramalinga Reddy inaugurated a redeveloped parking facility at Terminal-1 of Kempegowda Bus Station on Thursday, April 16.
The parking area has been developed at a cost of Rs 3.29 crore to facilitate smoother movement of vehicles and improve convenience for staff and passengers.
According to officials, the area adjacent to Terminal-1 near the rest house was earlier filled with potholes and prone to waterlogging during rains, causing inconvenience to commuters and staff.
The issue was brought to the notice of the minister, who visited the site and directed that the development be taken up on priority.
A tender was floated to develop around 2.5 acres of land into a structured parking facility.
According to KSRTC, the facility can accommodate around 100 buses and is equipped with 11 electric light poles. An electrical panel room has also been constructed as part of the project.
Parking space has been allocated for buses belonging to North Western (NWKRTC) and Kalyana Karnataka Road Transport Corporations (KKRTC).
