At present, two existing MSVs are deployed to cover areas around Outer Ring Road in Marathahalli and at Kempegowda Bus Stand. In addition, five MSVs have been procured in the first phase to cover Shivajinagar, Yeshwantpur, Jayanagar, Banashankari, Silk Board, Nayandahalli junction and other nearby areas.
To enhance bus maintenance and improve service efficiency, the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) launched five newly-procured ‘Mobile Service Vans’ (MSVs) on March 24.
At present, two existing MSVs are deployed to cover areas around Outer Ring Road in Marathahalli and at Kempegowda Bus Stand. In addition, five MSVs have been procured in the first phase to cover Shivajinagar, Yeshwantpur, Jayanagar, Banashankari, Silk Board, Nayandahalli junction and other nearby areas.
In view of rapidly increasing traffic density in Bengaluru, even the smallest delay in the movement of a bus due to en-route breakdown results in a huge line-up of other vehicles. This causes severe inconvenience to the public. Hence, the BMTC decided that at least one MSV is needed for each zone, major TTMCs and bus stands.
BMTC is currently operating an average of 5,875 trips per day with a fleet of 6,835 buses. These buses cover all areas of the city as well as suburban regions. To provide better transport facilities for commuters and to reduce air pollution in the city, electric buses have been introduced. Currently, 1,336 electric buses are in operation, and plans are in place to incorporate more electric buses in the coming days. Measures are being taken to operate electric buses with the aim of protecting the environment and controlling air pollution.

The sun is already high in the sky, beating down fiercely on our heads, when we reach Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace in Chamrajpet, Bengaluru. But inside the beautiful high-ceilinged structure, it is surprisingly pleasant, the interiors airy and light-filled. According to a plaque outside the two-storied edifice made out of wood, stone, mortar and plaster, construction here was started by Hyder Ali Khan in 1781 and completed by his son, Tipu Sultan, in 1791, eight years before the Tiger of Mysore would be killed by the British in 1799.
