The double decker buses had earlier gained popularity during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations, where they attracted large numbers of visitors for city tours. Following the positive response, the service is now being extended to Bengaluru to cater to both domestic and international tourists.

The buses are designed to offer an elevated travel experience, allowing passengers to enjoy a panoramic view of the city’s landmarks. The service is expected to cover key tourist spots and provide a convenient way for visitors to explore Bengaluru’s heritage, culture, and urban landscape.

With the launch of this service, Bengaluru joins the list of cities offering themed tourism transport, combining comfort with experience-driven travel.
