Namma Bengaluru Metro | Bengaluru metro feeder bus | Bangalore Feeder Bus Facility | Bengaluru’s metro feeder bus Availability
Imagine stepping out of a metro station in Bengaluru and hopping onto a feeder bus that drops you at your doorstep? Sounds surreal, right?
But how many of you know that the BMTC already operates metro feeder bus service across Bengaluru?
DH travels across the city to get a first hand experience.
Watch the video to find out more.

Plz Connect the Baiyappanahalli metro and KR Puram metro without Tin Factory Station. We can wait Tin Factory Station later to open till it completed . Metro Feeder Busses: It has not been good at all for so many reasons. Govt is not serious to help people. Worst Connectivity of Feeder busses. There are no Scheduled Busses available as well as there are no timing boards as well. BMTC Driver does not stop busses near Bus stop. They Stop busses in Mid of the ROAD. Commuter has to walk to the mid of the road. Conductors are rude and not humble and supportive . Completely bogus by Govt and BMTC Team . None is interested to improve and none takes feed back of people.

If you observe closely, once the metro is completed in an area, the government gives permissions to build high rises and commercial buildings close to metro, which in-turn increases traffic (again), in-turn choking metro. So Bangalore will become unsustainable in the long run. Simple solution would be companies should give WFH for applicable jobs. Other jobs goers should consider it an occupational hazard as the government is not providing any alternative. At least that is where I see Bangalore heading.

Bangalore is just a village with random buildings scattered here and there. Infrastructure is non existent. Those things that would have been completed 10 years earlier are now being started and don’t know how much time it will take. Narrow roads between villages to come to your offices is the main culprit for jams. They built tech parks in villages without clearing them.

Why does metro not consider that people might have to cross to the other side and build a FOB in the design stage itself. Same case with peenya. Atleast Mumbai metro has this covered and doesn't just dump the passengers on the road to fend for themselves. This js one area Bengaluru metro needs to improve on

I stay in Sonnenahalli which is like 4kms from Whitefield station. The feeder bus currently runs only in straight line and not accessible to our areas. I need to get down at belthur and walk 2.5kms to reach home or take auto. There is one bus that runs on from our area to metro but not in the reverse direction. Autos charge us 100 atleast till metro. There is no parking in the station which removes our option to use our own vehicle. It's more economical for us travel by own vehicle than to travel by metro currently 😅.

I mean to reach your destination you dont need a dedicated "metro feeder service" Jalahalli and Kengeri has excellent regular service and in the video itself you see so many busses. Another example is Indiranagar, the regular service itself is excellent, I dont know why you would need to differentiate on the basis of nothing except the bus number, not even the route.

There is no solution other than building more expressways and connecting roads where BRTS can run as well. Also, overall, the public infrastructure is terrible. Look at the dirt, sand and poor street assets. This is not what a hi-tech city should be like. Also, pretty stupid to have metro above ground in a congested city like Bengaluru. The metro should have been underground and overground roads should have been expanded with dedicated BRTS etc. The whole transport planning has been terribly done.

There should be good balance between public and private transports to make it efficient. it is not practical to depend on public transport all the time . Those who live near to main transport lines it is useful , for others it is worst idea. We can see this trend in many developed countries as well. in US only 5 % people use public transport as a medium of travel. They create efficient highway systems and planned roads. After creating narrow roads, bad roads forcing people to use only public transport wont succeed

Why is no one talking about bicycling and bicycle parking infrastructure?? Instead of feeder buses a classic use-case for bicycling infrastructure is screaming out at anyone who can see the situation!! Un-utilized paved space around Metro stations can be used for bicycle parking. Cycle parking licenses can be given out by the municipality to below-poverty-line applicants to set up manned bicycle parking infrastructure outside each station. Cycling lanes can be built by literally taking over lanes dedicated for Cars and Trucks - one lane out of two or 3 lanes could be allocated to provide safe/separated bicycle lanes. The tragedy of Bengaluru is that its Municipality is run by people who have migrated from rural hinterland and lack any vision because to them, the city is a huge step-up from their villages.

Cycling is such a hassle, the only time I'd say cycling is reasonable is when the distance is about 2-3kms. Noone would want to cycle in the Bangalore heat especially with the awesome BMTC service. Besides cycling infrastructure is already being built in Garudacharpalya, and other zones.
