Heavy rainfall and flooding impacted city bus services operated on the Outer Ring Road (ORR). BMTC officials said that buses operated to Marathahalli, Silk Board, Sarjapur, and others areas took hours to reach their destinations.
Director (IT) of BMTC A.V. Surya Sen said: “Near Marathahalli and other areas, roads were flooded with rainwater, resulting in traffic moving slowly. Buses could not be operated as usual in these areas and the number of trips was less on Monday. This has also caused inconvenience to passengers”.
At several depots, such as Koramangala, Shanthinagar, M.S. Palya, Devanahalli, and Kothnur Dinne, rainwater gushed inside. The official said that at some depots, the compound wall collapsed because of the heavy rains.
