Imagine stepping out of a metro station in Bengaluru and hopping onto a feeder bus that drops you at your doorstep? Sounds surreal, right?
But how many of you know that the BMTC already operates metro feeder bus service across Bengaluru?
DH travels across the city to get a first hand experience.
Watch the video to find out more.

It's nice that DH is doing these kind of reports telling us the real issues faced by Bengaluru citizens.
Plz Connect the Baiyappanahalli metro and KR Puram metro without Tin Factory Station. We can wait Tin Factory Station later to open till it completed .
Metro Feeder Busses: It has not been good at all for so many reasons.
Govt is not serious to help people. Worst Connectivity of Feeder busses.
There are no Scheduled Busses available as well as there are no timing boards as well.
BMTC Driver does not stop busses near Bus stop. They Stop busses in Mid of the ROAD. Commuter has to walk to the mid of the road.
Conductors are rude and not humble and supportive .
Completely bogus by Govt and BMTC Team .
None is interested to improve and none takes feed back of people.
Wonder whether anybody has seen feeder buses in electronics city?
@@manisvs6917 Good point 👉.
There is feeder service in Whitefield area as well

The sheer depth of research done on this piece, speaking with all the stakeholders, and putting together a concise, well-balanced video after spending days on the field, is just amazing. Hats off to the journalist, and to the DH team. Looking forward to more such well-produced pieces.
Thank you!
Kudos to Deccan Herald for amazing job. The state of Indian Media is such that even a usual ground report with facts and figures feels praiseworthy.
Very good journalism, others have forgotten to research and cover news that matters to citizens. Bravo!
It will be nice if BMTC procures a few smaller busses (School Bus size) and runs them a feeder with higher frequency. They can also go more inwards and can be in 1-2 km reach.

Very good these types of video help all the people who wride buses, also were who are going from outside. Thanks to journalists and HD.
Good work DH, I've used feeder buses in HSR layour for work but never knew there's feeders for metro
Good initiative from DH, please do more of these on other aspects as well either good or bad.
Great work.. Importantly show this report to BMTC officials who are supposed to solve this issue..
For those of us who live along Bannerghatta road, metro cant come soon enough! As it currently stands, we spend Rs 500 on auto for Rs 50 metro journey. Bike rides promised relief but are a failed experiment. Metro feeder buses are as rare here as a Penguins in the Serengeti.
This is some great ground level reporting. This series of videos on Metro and last mile connectivity from DH are very insdightful, hope the authorieties wake up and fix the issues,
DH is doing such a great job. hopefully their readers and viewership sky rocket
Hi Decan Herald. ❤ Please Please Please do not stop this work. This is what an Independant Media Company is supposed to you. You guys are doing a great job. More power to you.😢😊
Excellent reporting from Deccan Herald!
I was really facing this Metro Feeder Busses problem in this route which is "Kumbalgodu to Silk Institute".Thank You Deccan Herald for making this public and reporting to BMTC.
Whitefield to kengeri route feels like going from America to Afghanistan 😂
Indeed right, very well said… I feel the same too… 😂
😂
Situation of the silicon valley of India.
You are a really good journalist. Good Job!
We in Chennai were thinking that our metro was having less last mile 10:49 connectivity. After seeing this i feel we are far better. Almost all our metro stations are very well connected by frequent city bus share autos and suburban rail network.
That's good 👍
When are you coming to pickup your relatives who are forming slums in Namma Bengaluru
@@srisri4068😂😂 Aram maga aram
Kudos on reporting such an issue, real problem faced by many commuters
If you observe closely, once the metro is completed in an area, the government gives permissions to build high rises and commercial buildings close to metro, which in-turn increases traffic (again), in-turn choking metro. So Bangalore will become unsustainable in the long run. Simple solution would be companies should give WFH for applicable jobs. Other jobs goers should consider it an occupational hazard as the government is not providing any alternative. At least that is where I see Bangalore heading.
Shameless bureaucrats
You should done this realistic check post 8 or 9 or 11 PM bcoz metro is available till 11 PM but feader buses are not available also once pick up is done from byappanahalli again bus gets stoped for almost 10 to mins near RMZ
The kind of journalism we all want, support and need…
Bangalore is just a village with random buildings scattered here and there. Infrastructure is non existent. Those things that would have been completed 10 years earlier are now being started and don’t know how much time it will take. Narrow roads between villages to come to your offices is the main culprit for jams. They built tech parks in villages without clearing them.
Feeder bus, BMTC need to have Awarness to public. Advertisement is best 👌

I'd never miss an upload from DH. Perfectly put out 👌🏼
Thank you!
For us its not a problem coz
We have 10 new feeder buses called HSR-FEEDER 1 & 1A from last month Aug. Every 10 mins the buses will be running and rounds full HSR layout and touches the outer ring road, we citizens are happy for that
No I haven't been in feeder bus but I travel in metro a bit often. And its a very nice information thanks for that DH.
Good that u r covering ppl’s real ground issues…keep going …ppl are with u…
I always see it when I don’t need one. Not when I need it
Good work 👏🏻💯
But please also understand that BMTC can only provide buses, not an antidote to ignorance. That lady seems to think that metro feeder is some other service that's not BMTC🤔🙄

This report was well done.❤
No feeder Bus - Green Line - from Vajarahalli and near by 5 stations Used to pay Rs.60 on Uber to cover 3 kms from Metro. Badly managed City !
Why does metro not consider that people might have to cross to the other side and build a FOB in the design stage itself. Same case with peenya. Atleast Mumbai metro has this covered and doesn't just dump the passengers on the road to fend for themselves. This js one area Bengaluru metro needs to improve on
Great Job DH
the deccan needs to give her a payrise asap!
Useful one!
I appreciate your efforts❤
Nice information madam,as my daughter stays
The same problem is there from Vajarahalli Metro Station to Kengeri.
Few years back, they had released a bus. But the problem is it is hardly seen on the roads.
I have climbed in the MF375D BUS. I use it almost everyday to come back home from my tuition.
Bus is very good service for people
The authorities live in their own dream world.
See in srirampura station, no feeder services and autos have a field day
Nice reporting.... Please prepare a report on the state of affairs of infra projects in Yelahanka.... partially built flyover and commuter woes
Hello, I am a resident of Kengeri and obviously there is no metro feeders but there are lots of buses to the Kengeri bus stop which is just a minute walk to metro station...
Consider , Shanthinagar bus terminal which is very close to the heart of Bengaluru City .......guess what ,there are no feeder buses to the nearest metro stations at desired frequencies......... inspite of waiting so many long and lonely minutes or hours on day to day basis👍 instead have taken not so ever reliable autos sometimes rapido list goes on...........what's the irony of telling there are no feeder buses in or near shantinagar bus terminal is BMTC head office is located dead there only😮😮
Good vide. Please do a video on: (1) Condition of footpaths and (2) Issues faced by people commuting on bicycle
Thank you!
We made a video on cycling in Bengaluru about a year ago.

Let us know what you think!
First introduce late night services. Lazy BMTC. The transport ministers are clueless.
I saw it and sat there for 30 mins it did not start at all and there was no one to ask so finally I booked an auto😒
There are enough buses, but some people are not aware.

.. people.takin bus are so good with English..
BMTC has to increase the number of bus operating in the city especially during peak hours, me myself i want to switch to public transport but looking at crowd it's really hard to take that step, given the amount of people entering bangalore i wish the govt improves and increases public transport rather than having overcrowded buses in the city, we need to encourage more an more people to stop using private vehicles and use metro and city buses however this seems to be a distant dream ....
There is no solution other than building more expressways and connecting roads where BRTS can run as well. Also, overall, the public infrastructure is terrible. Look at the dirt, sand and poor street assets. This is not what a hi-tech city should be like. Also, pretty stupid to have metro above ground in a congested city like Bengaluru. The metro should have been underground and overground roads should have been expanded with dedicated BRTS etc. The whole transport planning has been terribly done.
Whitefield (Metro) - Kannamangala bus timing every 15 min from both sides . Route no - MF-1K
I stay in Sonnenahalli which is like 4kms from Whitefield station. The feeder bus currently runs only in straight line and not accessible to our areas. I need to get down at belthur and walk 2.5kms to reach home or take auto. There is one bus that runs on from our area to metro but not in the reverse direction. Autos charge us 100 atleast till metro. There is no parking in the station which removes our option to use our own vehicle.
It's more economical for us travel by own vehicle than to travel by metro currently 😅.
If they allow private aggregate companies they will be happy to provide shuttles all across bangalore.
This has been suggested many times. But BMTC want monopoly
Traveling from jeevan Bima Nagar to indiranagar metro station is a nightmare have to wait for more than an hour for bmtc bus
❤
Not sure of metro feeder bus, but we have feeder bus running across HSR Layout for couple of months in two different routes, which enables office goers like me take advantage of public transport to an extend. World will improve, I am hopeful. ❤
there should be a feeder bus from Nallurhalli metro station going through nallurhalli circle ending at siddapura. Nallurhalli metro station is useless as it is 3-5 kms away from nallurhalli.
Blore ISS not City blore iss one Small TOWN 😂🤣😂🤣 I'm from KA belgaum North
Have seen tons of them in green/ otherwise, marked MF-zz but not sure if these are really metro feeders. Also, at Banashankari, buses towards Kengeri/ RR Nagar disappear after 9pm
I mean to reach your destination you dont need a dedicated "metro feeder service" Jalahalli and Kengeri has excellent regular service and in the video itself you see so many busses. Another example is Indiranagar, the regular service itself is excellent, I dont know why you would need to differentiate on the basis of nothing except the bus number, not even the route.
I think neo metro will be a solution to last mile connectivity to an extent
I have seen 4 to 5 of them recently and for first time
Even for Kuala Lumpur have problems with feeder bus system that supposed to help increase the ridership of Ampang and Putrajaya line still came at every 1 hour ...all of Rapidbus service in KL is terrible
The problem is the metro is professional and convinient.. The BMTC is irresponsible and unreliable.. Thats the issue.. Also the autos are leeches ROFL
There should be good balance between public and private transports to make it efficient. it is not practical to depend on public transport all the time . Those who live near to main transport lines it is useful , for others it is worst idea. We can see this trend in many developed countries as well. in US only 5 % people use public transport as a medium of travel. They create efficient highway systems and planned roads. After creating narrow roads, bad roads forcing people to use only public transport wont succeed
At least start metro feder services from challagatta which is going to be terminal point on western side in purple line.If stars from Judicial Lay out Hejjala it will be very useful. Convenient. If one bus operates 30 trips till last metro ,it may become popular.
No. Last mile is still a problem
Liked the video, but why isn't the journalist not wearing a seat belt when she is riding in the car? As the face of the public, please lead by example so that others will follow 🙏🙏
Journalism is still alive.
My sister took the feeder bus from Bypanhalli to KR Pura and the bus stopped on the main road, she had to get off and cross the busy road to get to the metro station. Other than that it's helpful I guess. 🤷🏽♀
Metro feeders are available, they are few and less frequently available.
Where? Only one or two place
Excellent work
please carry check in BRTS hubli dharwad also
BMTC bus people hate METRO. there are many places in bengalore who are not connected to even BMTC bus stop forget metro. These BMTC bus stops are at many places do not have proper sheds. Also drivers dont stop at bus stops, They dont wanr good connection with metro system
It is extremely important that they penalise autos for charging extra and make strict rules for fair and refusal
So when is the "missing link" going to be operational?
In kr puram we have MF buses every 5 minutes including Volvo MF buses
No 2 wheeler parking at whitefield kadugodi station? That sucks! What about yulu bike stands then?
I don't know which illiterate designs these metro stations without sufficient parking space! There should be large paid parking for two and four wheelers.!
Why is no one talking about bicycling and bicycle parking infrastructure?? Instead of feeder buses a classic use-case for bicycling infrastructure is screaming out at anyone who can see the situation!! Un-utilized paved space around Metro stations can be used for bicycle parking. Cycle parking licenses can be given out by the municipality to below-poverty-line applicants to set up manned bicycle parking infrastructure outside each station. Cycling lanes can be built by literally taking over lanes dedicated for Cars and Trucks - one lane out of two or 3 lanes could be allocated to provide safe/separated bicycle lanes. The tragedy of Bengaluru is that its Municipality is run by people who have migrated from rural hinterland and lack any vision because to them, the city is a huge step-up from their villages.
Cycling is such a hassle, the only time I'd say cycling is reasonable is when the distance is about 2-3kms. Noone would want to cycle in the Bangalore heat especially with the awesome BMTC service. Besides cycling infrastructure is already being built in Garudacharpalya, and other zones.
@@aryangupta6186 well, if the infrastructure is built, it wouldn't be a hassle. For the infrastructure to be built, you need to have people who realize the impact of great bicycling infrastructure. The biggest hassle really, is people who don't know any better...
Only North Indians who come from 40+ temperatures of North complain about 28 degrees heat in Bangalore.
For you its easy to say, you should cycle 6kms after school or office in 4 o clock heat@@amithpallavoor
HAL old airport road to byapanahalli or indiranagar no bmtc bus
This is Autorickshaw drivers mafia. They don't allow BMTC buses to move around metro vicinity. Also present congress government should provide free commute to men as well.
Bengaluru is so costly when it comes to public transport. Way costlier than Mumbai and Delhi
Why Karle techpark nagawara showed as Whitefield
Never seen one
Auto sharing will solve a lot of problems. Trust me. Keep it legal (3 people in an auto)
This is a flop show: Metro Feeder Buses needs to painted differently, cosmopolitian language printed apart from English & Kannada.
Moreover IT BT companies need dowry cars and mobile booking services cabs service. Door step services. They all are born Kings and Queens descendants since 8000 years. :)
Disappointed that you didn’t cover byapanhalli… there are no buses from there. We are at the mercy of auto.
Only place where there is regular feed of buses is to connect passengers from KR Pura Metro to Byappanahalli metro..
15:00
Metro feeder buses in Delhi were not only unsuccessful but a disaster. Currently there are no metro feeder buses in Delhi, all scrapped.
Do they Reality check of free bus in Bengaluru and how it's make buses more crowded and hell for ticket buying class. Men.
Sharing auto rickshaws is the need of the hour. As it can help them get passengers, can reach quickly as well as affordable. Buses will occupy more space in the already narrow congested streets. So many cities have sharing auto rickshaw concepts and people use it a lot.
So where is the bus it's in traffic
As usual BMTC is very lax and don't have intent to implement anything good for the citizens, environment. Autos are making money but buses are running at loss.
