Bangalore: With the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) airport buses being only half full most of the time, the transport corporation has planned a revamp of its services. This will not only improve the frequency of buses to the airport, but will also ensure that passengers do not have to wait for BIA services alone to get to the airport. To do this, the BMTC plans to make Mekhri Circle a ‘hub’ for airport buses.
Anjum Parvez, Managing Director of BMTC, said that BMTC has some land near the bus stops at Mekhri Circle.
“We will make this into an air-conditioned waiting lounge from where commuters can take buses to the airport,” he said.
The lounge at Mekhri Circle will have a cafeteria, toilets, seating facilities for at least 50 people and an information board displaying flight departure and arrival timings, he added.
