Jayanagar 4th block TTMC - first park and ride facility from BMTC in Bangalore

Jayanagar 4th block in Bangalore has a TTMC (Traffic and Transit Management Centre) built at a cost of Rs.12.9 crore.This was inaugurated in august 2010 by Chief Minister BS Yeddiyurappa.


The idea of the TTMC, was to get people to park their vehicles here and travel around the city by public transport. This is equivalent to the concept of P+R (Park and Ride) stations close to metro stations in europe.


In Jayanagar TTMC, however parking is easier said than done. The parking lot here can accomodate 60 cars and 150 two wheelers - is located on the roof of the building and people are currently reluctant to use it because BMTC (Bangalore Metropolitan Transport corporation) which owns TTMC has not provided lifts yet.


The cost of parking at the Jayanagar TTMC is Rs.8 for a minimum of two hours for two-wheelers and Rs.10 for four wheelers.

Bangalore BMTC's TTMC at Kengeri costed 40 crores, under JNURM. 10 more TTMCs to come!

The Traffic and Transit Management Centre(TTMC) of BMTC was built at a cost of Rs 40 crore under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNURM)The TTMC’s objective is to provide an integrated transport facility with adequate amenities and conveniences to cater to the requirements of all user groups and reduce congestion of main roads through efficient traffic movement, among others. 

TTMCs are coming up in different locations of the city - Shantinagar, Koramangala, Whitefield, Vijayanagar, Banashankari, Yeshwantpur, Domlur and Bannerghatta and all of them are nearing completion, BMTC officials said. 10 TTMCs will be built at an estimated cost of Rs 479.6 crore. The Kengeri TTMC cost Rs 40 crore. Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa had inaugurated the TTMC in Jayanagar last September.

Citing the plans to build a Rs 1,400 crore mega main bus-stand in Bangalore under public-private-partnership model, Karnataka Transport Minister Mr R Ashoka said at the inauguration of the Traffic and Transit Management Centre (TTMC) in Kengeri, that around 7-8 companies had shown interest for the bus stand project, which will be built on a PPP(public private partnership) model. He said once the project was realised, Bangalore bus stand would be at par with international bus stands.

Transport minister said Volvo buses deployed by Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) in routes such as airport and IT sector hubs in the city are making profits, rejecting the perception in some quarters that it’s financially unviable. The Government planned to press into service Mercedes Benz bus coaches in the Bangalore-Mysore route.

Union Minister for Urban Development S Jaipal Reddy inaugurated the TTMC. Mr Reddy said under JNURM, the Union Government has sanctioned Rs 58,000 crore in the last four-and-half-years, while civic bodies and various state Governments have put in matching funds (Rs 58,000 crore) for urban projects. 

Reddy announced that the Centre would release Rs 11,600 crore towards the escalated cost for Namma Metro project.
