The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is all prepared for re introducing the double-decker buses in the city and has called for tenders.

Due to the above-mentioned reasons and with not many options left, the BMTC has identified three routes for double-decker bus operations. The routes are – Majestic (Kempegowda bus station) to Shivajinagar, Majestic to Attibele, and Vijayanagar to Kalasipalya.

According to Ramachandra R, Managing Director of BMTC, the department has approved the floating tender to lease as many as 10 double-decker AC electric buses on a Gross Cost Contract (GCC) basis.
