Bengaluru: Tired Of Paying Daily For BMTC Buses? Here's The Rs 750 Weekly Pass You Need
The pass can be purchased directly through the app, making it quick and convenient for daily commuters.
The Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has introduced a new weekly travel pass.
Designed especially for frequent users of the Vajra bus service, this move is part of BMTC's broader effort to boost public transport usage in the city.
What Does The Pass Offer?
Starting this Friday, commuters can purchase a Rs 750 weekly pass that allows unlimited travel on Vajra, ordinary, and express BMTC buses. However, toll charges are not included in this pass.
As per Hindustan Times, those using Vajra Express services will need to pay an additional Rs 10 service charge per ride, along with standard toll fees.
How Can Commuters Buy This Pass?
The BMTC has made the process simple and digital. Commuters can purchase the weekly pass via the Tummoc mobile app, ensuring easy access without waiting in long queues. However, this pass does not apply to Vayu Vajra (airport buses) or any other special BMTC services.
This route is designed to improve last-mile connectivity in some of Bengaluru's most traffic-heavy areas. Currently, one bus is operating on this route, making 10 trips a day—five in each direction.
