After requests from the Outer Ring Road Companies Association, the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) Friday decided to allow company buses to use the Bus Priority Lane (BPL) on Outer Ring Road (ORR) during the construction of the Metro line from Central Silk Board to Lowry Junction. Currently, Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) buses and emergency vehicles are allowed to operate on the BPL.
DULT Commissioner V Manjula said, “In the discussion held regarding the traffic movement plan on ORR during Metro construction, it was agreed by all the stakeholders that the company buses should be allowed on the BPL.”
