KSRTC proposes new bus terminal at Bannimantap for long-distance routes

The Hindu  

The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation has proposed a new bus terminal at Bannimantap to reduce congestion at the suburban stand and decongest traffic density in the heart of the city. Mr. Srinivas said that at present the suburban stand operates 2,600 services that covers both inter-district, intra-district and inter-state routes and the existing infrastructure was unable to cope with the traffic density. Long-distance routes that entail travel over 80 km or 100 km and beyond, would be shifted to the proposed new stand at Bannimantap, said Mr. Srinivas. Once the new terminal is created, nearly 1,000 services can be shifted from the suburban stand to help decongest the area, said Mr. Srinivas.
