The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has announced that it will operate 48 services of Vayu Vajra AC Volvo buses connecting the airport to the city both on Saturday and Sunday. Passengers travelling between the Kempe Gowda International Airport (KIA) and Bengaluru, in both directions, are likely to not be affected much due to the weekend curfew scheduled to be in place from 6 p.m. on Fridays to 9 a.m. on Mondays for the next two weeks.
According to the statement, the BMTC will operate 500 essential ordinary services during the weekend-curfew for the benefit of employees working in permitted industries and government offices.
