Call of last mile connectivity
Government is formulating a law to ban bike taxis under pressure from the auto mafia. Fair enough, nurture your vote bank if you want.But don’t destroy public transport in the process. Bengaluru’s biggest mobility crisis today is not bike taxis. It is the complete absence of reliable last mile connectivity. When people have no viable option to cover the final 3 to 5 km, they end up using personal cars, adding thousands of extra vehicles to already choked roads.
Private autos charge unreasonable fares. Feeder buses are missing. Walking is unsafe. And yet the city wants to call itself a global tech hub while basic public transport gaps remain untouched. If the government is serious about reducing congestion and improving mobility, start with this:
- 🚍 Launch frequent and reliable last mile feeder buses
- 🚍 Connect tech parks, residential areas and metro stations
- 🚍 Make it affordable, predictable and safe
Call for action:
➡️ Bring mini BMTC feeder buses immediately for Sarjapur, Carmelaram, Mahadevapura, Bellandur and other underserved corridors. A simple step like this can ease traffic, reduce dependency on cars and make public transport truly usable. Bengaluru does not need bans. Bengaluru needs solutions. Fix last mile connectivity first. #PublicTransport #BikeTaxi #LastMile
