Even road-based public transport systems like buses are under a state of neglect under this Congress Govt. Despite moving the most number of the people in the city, BMTC remains an underfunded & neglected organisation. In the previous Congress Govt, an Inter-Ministerial Committee had recommended amendments to the Motor Vehicles Act to allow private players to run small buses and complement the BMTC. But this suggestion also is being ignored even as BMTC struggles to cater to regular & feeder services demand. In my meeting with DCM DK Shivakumar, I urged him to increase BMTC's fleet size to at least 15,000 buses and ensure a feeder service once every 5 minutes in coherence with the metro timings. The State Government needs to act.
