Special services to IT corridors run almost Empty on maiden 'Bus Day' as most techies stick to cars, two-wheelers and traffic jams despite days of publicity
The first Bus Day yesterday turned out to be a big flop with the initiative getting a cold response from techies, vast numbers of whom the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) had hoped to attract with special buses between Majestic and the IT corridors of Electronics City and ITPL.

The BMTC claimed it a success at the end of the day, but a daylong reality check showed the maiden edition of the large-scale exercise, to be held on the fourth of every month, managed to attract only a few techies here and there.
The traffic jams remained in the Electronics City corridor as many buses ran near-empty, while car parking lots at IT companies were as full as ever.
