Since the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) launched its special Vayu Vajra bus service, which runs between Kempegowda
International Airport and various locations around the city, this air-conditioned delight has become a favorite among travelers looking to avoid the city’s notorious traffic.

However, a BMTC bus recently made headlines for a one-of-a-kind trip, serving a single customer arriving at the airport and winning praise for its extraordinary service.
Who was the passenger?

The passenger, who goes by the name @thisishariharen, was overjoyed and rushed to microblogging site ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) to thank the dynamic combination behind the wheel – the bus driver and the conductor.
What did you write on social media?
The OP stated in a selfie with these unsung heroes: “I was returning from the airport. These two gentlemen operated the bus just for me, just to keep on schedule.” I had good company and a safe ride home.” He joked, “It felt weird being the only man on a big rapid in a city full of traffic.”
How did people react on the Internet?
The picture sparked a flurry of comments, with one fan writing, “@BMTC_BENGALURU crew for airport services are cultured and very helpful to passengers.”
Another supporter said: “I’m glad you used BMTC.” However, not everyone was having a good time and some questioned the economics of running an entire bus for a single tourist.
As one wise observer noted: “Ideally, they would have been transported on another bus.” Another person added financial context saying: “95 per kilometer is the cost of running this bus.” See the viral post here.
