We will operate 1,500 bus services in Bengaluru city on major routes between 6 am and 8 pm, excluding containment zones, said BMTC.

The transport corporation has decided to commence the bus services after Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa confirmed that there will be no extension of lockdown in Bengaluru Urban and Rural districts.
Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Tuesday said, "There will be no lockdown from tomorrow, people need to get back to work, the economy is also very important. We have to fight COVID-19 while maintaining a stable economy. Lockdown is not the solution, now restrictions will be placed only in containment zones."
