Overview
- The V NICE 10 Vajra AC service begins December 1 on the Madavara–Electronic City corridor, using the NICE Road bypass for cross-city travel.
- Seven buses will run every 30 minutes from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm, totaling 52 trips daily across both directions.
- The full-journey fare is Rs 110 inclusive of NICE Road tolls, and BMTC has signaled monthly passes will be introduced with details to follow.
- BMTC expects the nearly 45 km trip to take about 1 hour 30 minutes under normal traffic, offering a single-seat ride that can be quicker than the Metro for this stretch.
- Separately, BMTC reduced the Vajra weekly pass to Rs 700 excluding tolls, is issuing it digitally via its official app, and added two non-AC routes linking Jnanabharathi Metro Station–Bharat Nagar 2nd Stage and Kempegowda Bus Station–Kannahalli.
