1. Introduction

The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is a government


organization that operates public transport bus service in Bengaluru. BMTC came into existence
in 1997 because of a split of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation, with regards to the
city's development and to provide safe, reliable, solid, clean, and affordable mode of public
transportation to the city and suburban areas of Bangalore.

The Bangalore Transport Service (BTS) became Bangalore Metropolitan Transport


Corporation, and the colour scheme was changed from red to a blue and white blend. It is one of
the handful undertakings to present pneumatic entryways in India even in its fleet of ordinary
buses to give wellbeing to passengers. Before this, only some luxury buses in India had
pneumatic entryways.

BMTC buses operate the longest city bus route in India and covers 117kms round trip.

The Corporation also strives to realize to expand passenger comfort by integrating


Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Passenger Information System (PIS) in its daily
activities. This assists to monitor its services better and offer quality services. Public feedback is
also an important contributions and input in BMTC operations; a state-of-the-art control centre is
focused for the near future which will be a one-point contact for addressing client queries and
feedback.

BMTC’s stronghold around public transportation in Bengaluru is a testimony to its


reception of sound Management, HR, Quality and Environmental Policies. For BMTC, the GPS
will help track buses, checking whether drivers speed or have skipped any stop.

Recently BMTC has come out with a idea of celebrating BUS DAY on the fourth of every
month to urge commuters to utilise its services and keep away from personalized commuting.

Being the first in the nation to introduce intra-city Volvo buses were well welcomed on
the IT Sector routes but are now patronised on all routes in the city.

BMTC has the record for making profits reliably for considerable length of time and is
one of the few public sector undertakings in ASIA to make profits.

3. Conclusion

Bangalore is considered to be the silicon valley of India, so BMTC to justice to this


sobriquet is introducing of latest IT innovations to improve the quality of city transport through
new initiatives such as introduction of Global Positioning System(GPS), Public Information
System(PIS), Light Emitting Diode (LED) display boards etc with a view to improve the
productivity of BMTC operations and to make it more user easy to understand int this way
bringing it on par with International Standards.
Introduction of smart cards must be implemented by BMTC like other countries like
Europe to make travel a pleasure by removing all irritants present in the current system and to
mitigate air pollution BMTC Vehicles must be subjected to emission check every month and
corrective actions must be taken.

BMTC must also try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by considering alternative fuels
to achieve decarbonization and electrification of transport. Some initiatives or projects like
ZeEUS by European Union can be considered to reduce CO2 emissions.

BMTC is on a path of expansion and modernization through induction of latest


technology and public city transport management skills in view of commuter in mind.
