The moot point is, should we ask for long routes, or hub-to-hub trips? This discussion shows that BMTC already has too many long routes. Just this factor alone causes multiple problems to its services (link 1 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/datameet/eQGfr_U5FVw/HsprueWxAQAJ>, link 2 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/datameet/eQGfr_U5FVw/fRcK2imuAQAJ>).
If there are frequent short trips that end at the major junctions, then people can switch at those junctions and catch the next bus in the right direction. Most people don't make long trips on a daily basis; therefore our bus trips should be suited for daily commuters, not someone who's going to catch a bus/train/flight out of Bangalore. (Well, a few routes to these destinations are enough, but not too large at the cost of commuters' needs.) Thus, the hubs can be interconnected with high-frequency shuttles. Here is a partially list: 1. *Agara Junction* --> Silk Board (ORR) + Madiwala + Marathahalli (ORR) +Sarjapura (Agara junction is a surrogate for Ibbalur junction, which does not have space) 2. *Silk Board *--> Banashankari + Electronic city + Brigade road/Shivajinagar + Shantinagar + Jayanagar + JP Nagar 4. *Marathahalli* --> ITPL/Whitefield + Domlur + Hebbal + 5. *Domlur* --> Indiranagar + Koramangala + Shivajinagar + Majestic 6. *Shantinagar* --> Shivajinagar + Jayanagar+ JP Nagar + 7. *Banashankari* -> Kengeri + Subramanyapura + Nagarbhavi + 8. *Jayanagar *--> JP Nagar + Hulimavu +Subramanyapura + 9. *JP Nagar* --> Bannerghatta + Jignai + 10 *Electronic city* --> Attibele + Anekal + -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
