Bengaluru Launches London-Style Double-Decker Bus Service
The Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) has started a new bus service in Bengaluru.
These buses are like the famous double-decker buses in London.
They have two levels: the lower level is air-conditioned and comfortable, while the upper level is open so you can see the city better.
The buses take tourists to important places in Bengaluru, like Vidhana Soudha and Chinnaswamy Stadium.
You can buy a ticket for ₹180, which lets you ride the bus all day.
The buses run from 10 am to 8 pm every day.
The KSTDC hopes this will make Bengaluru more fun for visitors.
KSTDC launched three London-style double-decker buses in Bengaluru to boost tourism.
Buses offer panoramic views and information about city landmarks via an audio system.
Ticket price is ₹180 per person, allowing unlimited rides throughout the day.
Buses operate daily from 10 am to 8 pm, covering major cultural and historical sites.
Tickets can be booked online or through helpline numbers, with encouraging initial response.
