"Benz bus sounds exciting and I don't mind trying it. But I won't ditch my car to travel by the bus.u00a0 When you're going by a bus, you need to keep so many things in mind but with your own vehicle it's much easier," says Arnab Khanna, who travels from Koramangala to Whitefield every day in his car.

Dr. Ashfaq Khan says: "From the time luxury buses came into existence. I've stopped taking my car, it's easier to take the luxury buses as BMTC buses are always crowded and badly maintained. Mercedes Benz bus will definitely be superior."
