Former cricketer Anil Kumble took a Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus ride back home from the airport as private transporters were observing a day-long bandh in Bengaluru.<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old former leg-spinner shared a picture of him travelling in a bus from the airport on X, formerly Twitter. The former cricketer wrote, “BMTC trip back home today from the airport.”<\/p>\n

From the picture, it seems Mr. Kumble took an air-conditioned Volvo bus. He can be seen holding the handle for support, with passengers seated behind him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Posted a few hours ago, the picture has received 13,200 likes on X along with users appreciating him in the comments section for supporting public transport.<\/p>\n

A user wrote, “So simple and down to earth Kumble Sir.”<\/p>\n

“Best way to travel to the airport is by BMTC,” another user wrote.<\/p>\n

“People don’t give credit to BMTC buses as it deserves, one of the best in India,” the third user wrote.<\/p>\n

“Excellent. Elites of society using public transport is good for society. And Kumble is the gold standard anyway,” the fourth user commented.<\/p>\n

“We need icons to advertise public transport like this. That way, we will have less traffic,” the fifth user commented.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, lakhs of private vehicles including autos, taxis, maxi cabs, goods vehicles and corporate buses could stay off the roads on Monday, making commuting difficult for school students and office-goers, among others, as the Federation of the Karnataka State Private Transport Associations has called for a ‘bandh’.<\/p>\n

The federation has called for bandh seeking a ban on bike taxis, and urging the government to extend the Shakti scheme — that offers free bus rides to women on state-run transport buses — to private buses as well, among other demands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
