Yelli Iddira,  a service started by BMTC commuters to track buses(presently only to volvo) using on-line GPS data  provided by BMTC .

Objectives of the Yelli Iddira

a) To facilitate increased usage of BMTC services, particularly by people who     value their time greatly, and therefore cannot afford to waste time waiting     indefinitely at bus not knowing when a bus will show up.

b) To facilitate better mobility for women, particularly executives, who are     otherwise largely dependent on autos (and not very comfortable about it).

c) To facilitate increased overall usage of public transport, and thereby reduced usage of personalized forms of transport, with a view to reducing     clutter, congestion and pollution on the city roads.

d) To increase rider-ship and thereby achieve greater augmentation of revenues for BMTC, to enable it to go on improving services.

e) To enhance the image of BMTC as an organization that uses technology to  improve its customer services.
