The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- BMTC has rejected reports claiming that more than 500 electric buses remain off Bengaluru's roads every day, calling the allegations completely false.
- In a press release, the corporation said it operates 1,760 electric buses through four operators, with over 1,700 deployed daily on scheduled routes.
- It added that in any large transport system, around 1-2% of buses may face temporary interruptions due to maintenance, battery servicing, or staff availability, and this should not be read as large-scale non-operation.
What to watch next
- Whether independent verification of BMTC's daily deployment figures emerges
- Any follow-up response from those who made the original claim
- Updates on BMTC's electric bus fleet operations and maintenance
