Bangalore is currently in the process of implementing a wide-ranging set of reforms to its urban bus service, one of the largest in India and Asia. At the center of this effort, is a pioneering re-design of the route and network structure of bus services in the city. Together with other aspects such as integrated fares, improved physical infrastructure and unified branding, these reforms promise a step-change improvement in the quality of bus services for Bangalore's 10 million residents.
This webinar provided details of the reforms being undertaken in Bangalore, discussed impacts from the initial phases of its implementation, and addressed whether this model can be replicated in other Indian and Asian megacities.
