Bengaluru: In response to the Bengaluru Bandh called by the Federation of the Private Vehicles Association on Monday, the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has announced additional services between the city and Kempegowda International Airport.
To ensure that airport passengers do not face any inconvenience during the bandh, BMTC has implemented precautionary measures. The corporation has advised its drivers to increase the number of trips between Kempegowda Airport and various city destinations. BMTC's Vayu Vajra buses will commence operations from the airport at midnight on Sunday. Normally, BMTC runs more than 500 trips daily, but in anticipation of the bandh, they have been instructed to add an extra 100 trips, according to a BMTC statement.
The Federation of Private Vehicles Association has called for the bandh to voice several demands, including compensation for losses incurred following the implementation of the Shakthi Scheme. This bandh call is expected to disrupt the daily commute of many people throughout the city.
