Bengaluru's urban transport landscape has a new chapter with the introduction of Metro Feeder Bus 314A/1. This service, initiated on July 19 by the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), highlights the power of collective citizen action in Kaggadasapura and C V Raman Nagar.
Behind this initiative is Shachi Pathak, a determined resident who orchestrated a campaign that amassed 400 signatures. The drive began in 2024 and involved significant mobilization efforts.
