The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Karnataka's Tourism Department will now rent out its 'Ambari' double-decker sightseeing buses in Bengaluru for private events such as pre-wedding photo shoots, birthday celebrations and corporate events.
- The buses, run by KSTDC on a hop-on, hop-off basis since January, have already carried 20,700 passengers across 26 city landmarks at a fare of Rs 180 per person.
- Renters cannot take the bus anywhere they like, as it will operate only on designated routes, and cake cutting must be done while the bus is parked at a fixed spot to avoid mishaps.
- Buses cannot pass under metro viaducts or electric lines, and shooting beyond designated stops requires permission from the relevant departments.
What to watch next
- Demand and uptake of the hourly rental scheme for pre-wedding shoots and birthdays
- Whether additional permissions from other departments will be needed or granted for shoots at more locations
- Any expansion of Ambari services, including the planned buses for Hampi and Mysuru
