The additional services will cater to the increased passenger demand on November 9 and 10, when Deepavali and Balipadyami will be celebrated, respectively, a release from NWKRTC said.

Special buses will be operated from Bengaluru to various destinations in the jurisdiction of NWKRTC from November 6 to 8.

The services will originate from major bus stations in Bengaluru, including Kempegowda Bus Station, Vijayanagar TTMC, Malleswaram, Sharada Colony, Yeshwanthpur TTMC and Basaveshwara Nagar TTMC.

The corporation has urged passengers to make use of the additional services and travel by buses for a comfortable and safe journey during the festival.
