Bus Day on Feb 4th

It is a pleasure and honor to extend an invitation to you to join and support the February 4th 'Bus Day' campaign spearheaded by concerned citizens of Namma Bengaluru in association with BMTC, ORRCA, host of other organizations and individuals.

Bengaluru is today, arguably one of Asia's fastest growing cities. We are also fast becoming the most polluted, the most congested, the most unsafe on the road. It is time for Bengaluru's civil society to find ways and means to explore the sustainable solutions and smart choices in urban transportation. 'Bus Day' is one such attempt and an experiment to demonstrate the need and urge of every resident of Bengaluru city for better choices for his/her daily commute. Who can deny the role of public transport (PT) for today's commute choices? Who can deny the relief that a PT bus provides viz-a-viz personal vehicles on congested roads?

On Feb 4th, all residents of Bengaluru are being requested to leave their personal vehicles at home, instead take a BUS to their work. In this endeavor, BMTC , Bengaluru Traffic Police and Karnataka Transportation department in association with many organizations like ORRCA, ECIL and others are working to extend their help in providing all the possible help for this campaign. There is a assurance from all these entities for additional resources on Feb 4th taking care of the additional commuter capacity.

In above said context we request your esteem help for this campaign. Also requested is your help in publicizing the event in your organization. We will appreciate if you could broadcast an email to all your staff members to join this campaign by taking the BUS on Feb 4th. Attached are the event announcement poster that can be displayed in common areas
