Dear Sir,

Sub: Regularisation of bus timings of 296B and 296D for Brindavan layout (HBR LAYOUT 5TH BLOCK, 1st stage) and Re- introduction of K.R.Market bus 296K

We, the residents of HBR layout 5th block would like to inform you that the above two buses are running from our layout to Shivaji Nagar and Majestic bus station respectively for the last 15 years. In the recent past we have noticed that the route No.296D (Shivaji Nagar bus) is maintaining its scheduled timings through out the day. But the route No.296B (Majestic bus) is plying only in the morning and evening, i.e from 7am to 9.30am and 4pm to 8.30pm. During 10 am to 4pm the 296B bus comes up to Hennur cross and gets back without entering the layout. Because of this practice, our senior citizens, women and school going children are facing difficulty. Hence we request you give instructions to your staff to ply the 296B bus into the layout during day time also.

Please note that though our layout is in existence since 1989 (20) years, there is no additional buses introduced to our layout. The only bus 296K (K.R.Market) introduced in the year 2007 had plied for few months and the service was stopped abruptly. Therefore we request you to kindly look into the matter and re-introduce the K.R. Market bus service soon.

We take this opportunity to thank all the BMTC officials concerned for restoring a bus stop near forest office on ring road. (between Hennur main Road signal and Nagawara signal). Since there is no bus stop sign board, it becomes difficult for your staff and the commuters to identify the bus stop, hence we request you to put a sign board on either side of ring road. Also please see to that, the stoppage of buses at this point continue for ever.

Thanking you once again for your valuable services and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

With regards
A.Rajagopal
