Commuting to office by BMTC Volvo

Since I started dropping Eesha to school in the morning, I have started using BMTC Volvo bus to commute further to office (Manyata Tech Park @ Nagawara Jn,Hebbal). I'm happy and relieved!!
Actually, Manyata Embassy Business Park (MEBP) has tied up with BMTC to ply Volvo buses from Manyata campus to various routes within Bangalore and these buses covers pretty much all prominent localities. This is valid for 'all' employees working in Manyata irrespective of which company they work for. This is effective since 01-Jul-2013. To me, I have to say this couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. Since I opted out of the company transport facilities, I have been struggling to commute between office and home.
I really appreciate the efforts taken by Manyata Embassy Service Planning Limited in bringing Volvo to everyone and of course, many thanks to BMTC for running buses covering every areas.

The monthly pass is Rs.3600 and one can buy this from MEBP information center by paying cash. Additionally, this entitles the pass holder to utilize this pass for commuting in all BMTC buses (except BIAL shuttle) throughout the month. Only caveat - we need to get BMTC ID card that is available at BMTC counters @ KBS/Majestic.

I wish they continue this in the long term and more employees opt for this service instead of using their own four wheeler.
