BMTC’s QR Code for feeder buses

The development comes days after the BMTC, which operates over 150 buses on 46 feeder routes, introduced a QR code feature at 40 metro stations for feeder bus passengers. With these services, passengers have been allowed to access information regarding schedules, live tracking, availability, departure time, maps, and more.

“To encourage use of First & Last mile connectivity, BMTC is providing information through QR Code which is displayed in the trains & at METRO Station exit. Commuters & Public are requested to make use of this facility to enhance their public travel experience,” the BMTC wrote in an official tweet.
