Bangalore: City Buses in Bangalore will soon have free Wi-fi, with one catch – not all of them will have the facility. 

inside BBMP busThe Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is planning to launch the service in 200 air-conditioned buses on routes like Kempegowda International Airport and IT corridors like ITPB and Electronic City. 

In 2010, Internet access was provided on a pilot basis on Vayu Vajra buses plying between ITPB and the international airport. However, the initiative never took off. It is learnt that in the first phase, Wi-fi will be launched in 50 buses and by December, it will be provided in all 200 buses.

Managing director of the BMTC Ekroop Caur said, “The move will help office goers in a big way. The corporation is not charging any extra money for the service other than the bus fare.” The internet access will be available for 30 minutes and if passengers want to continue they need to log in again.
