In a move that is sure to evoke nostalgia among Bengalureans, the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) plans to reintroduce double-decker buses on the city’s streets. The BMTC has begun the process of calling tenders for the procurement of 10 double-decker buses.
The decision to start running double-decker buses comes after over two decades, as the iconic buses were last seen on the city roads back in 1997. However, there will be a notable alteration in the operational routes of these buses. Given the increased traffic and limited road infrastructure in the city, the double-decker buses will be exclusively deployed on the Outer Ring Roads(ORR).
