The Karnataka government has announced mini air-conditioned buses at all Namma Metro stations in Bengaluru to improve last-mile connectivity for commuters.
The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) will also share its live bus-tracking app with private cab aggregators to help integrate multiple modes of transport.
The move is aimed at encouraging greater use of the metro network by closing the common last-mile gap between metro stations and commuters' final destinations.
