With Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) scheduled to play home matches on April 2, 10, 18, 24, and May 3, 13, and 17, BMTC will operate dedicated buses from the stadium to various parts of the city, ensuring smooth transportation for fans returning home after the games.

The special services will cover key routes, including Kadugodi Bus Stand, HAL Road, Sarjapur (G-2), Electronic City via Hosur Road (G-3), Bannerghatta Zoo (G-4), Popular Township via Magadi Road (G-7), R.K. Hegde Nagar via Nagawara and Tannery Road (G-10), Hoskote (317G), and Banashankari (13).

These buses aim to reduce congestion around the stadium and provide a hassle-free commute for fans, especially considering the large crowds expected for RCB’s home games. The BMTC has urged passengers to utilize these services for a convenient and safe journey back home.

BMTC officials are also expected to deploy additional buses if demand increases on match days. The initiative aligns with efforts to promote public transport and ease traffic congestion in the city during the IPL season.
