In a major boost to last-mile connectivity, Bengaluru’s BMTC Vayuvajra airport buses will now stop at all metro stations along their routes. Implemented jointly by BMTC, BMRCL, and Bengaluru Traffic Police, the move ensures seamless travel for commuters heading to Kempegowda International Airport, reducing dependence on distant bus stops.
Passengers traveling to Kempegowda International Airport will now find it easier to connect via Namma Metro. The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has announced that its Vayuvajra airport buses will stop at every metro station along their designated routes. Previously, buses halted only at select BMTC bus stops, many of which were far from metro stations.
This initiative, coordinated with the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) and Bengaluru Traffic Police, is designed to improve last-mile connectivity and encourage greater use of public transport. With Bengaluru’s metro network expanding rapidly, the integration of airport buses with metro stations is expected to significantly ease passenger movement and reduce congestion.
