Public transport visionary, Shri Ramachandran R, IAS (MD, BMTC) recently delivered a keynote at ORRCA townhall on how BMTC is enhancing its fleet, embracing EVs, and enabling smarter commute choices for employees on Outer Ring Road (ORR).
ORRCA initiatives in progress to decongest the corridor:
1. Promoting bus ridership through dedicated chartered bus services in partnership with BMTC
2. Recommending bus bay points inside campuses for safe, efficient employee boarding
3. Boosting metro adoption by ensuring seamless last-mile connectivity with upcoming stations and campuses.
Urban mobility is at the heart of Bengaluru’s competitiveness.
