Bus! No more autos, cabs

The effect of MiD DAY and Radio One initiative that was launched early this year can now be seen in the city. Bangaloreans now prefer BMTC buses to autos and cabs that once ruled city roads

As most of the auto drivers overcharge, I prefer taking a bus to my college. In fact, I travel only by buses, as they are cheap and convenient. I hire an auto only when I am travelling with my parents.

I avoid errant and rude auto
drivers and prefer public transport instead. They overcharge most of the time and are impolite. Whereas, BMTC buses are cheaper and safest mode of transport.

As I live a bit far from my office, travelling by autos daily isn't
feasible for me. I prefer BMTC buses because their service and frequency have improved a lot in the last few months.

I prefer taking a bus to work because it's much cheaper and convenient than autos. Besides, auto drivers charge exorbitant sum at night.u00a0
