Officials said they are planning to operate more schedules through the alternative road. Many apartment complexes have come up in areas like Katamnallur, Budigere Cross, Hennur Cross, Bagalur and these buses are helping those residing there,” said an official.The alternative road was opened to help residents from east and south Bengaluru.
