A garden on wheels: BMTC driver turns bus into a green haven

In the heart of Bengaluru, a BMTC bus running between Majestic and RR Nagar is turning heads, not for its speed or design, but for its lush greenery. The bus, driven by Basavaraj from Depot 21, welcomes passengers with the soothing presence of more than 30 vibrant plants placed inside the vehicle.

An ardent environmentalist, Basavaraj has been nurturing plants inside BMTC buses since 2018. From hanging pots to small planters placed near windows and dashboards, every corner of the bus breathes life. His aim? To bring nature closer to people during their daily commute.

What makes this initiative even more heartwarming is the provision of drinking water beside every seat, a thoughtful touch that has earned him appreciation from regular passengers.

Basavaraj’s green bus is more than just a unique sight. It’s a moving message, urging people to care for the environment, adopt sustainable practices, and bring greenery into their own lives. His journey is not just on the road, but also towards a greener Bengaluru.
