buses and bus stand...

"buses and bus stands" was the theme for this weeks urbansketching... the first one is at the murugeshpalaya bus stop on old airport road... the women in the foreground were an interesting subject in terms of the colours, drape of their sari... good that their bus came late and I got to sketch them down... auto rickshaws are an integral part of the bus stands here... waiting to snatch as prospective commuters from the bmtc(Bangalore Metro Transport Corporation)!
I like the second better... this is of the front portion of a vayu vajra which is the a/c volvo bus service between bangalore city and the BIAL(Banguluru International Airport Limited) airport... they are a very convinient means of transport as the BIAL is very far from the city...
these volvo buses also run within the city are by far the best public transport I have found in India...

The bus stand is pretty interesting and I could actually sense the feel from sketch... colors make a lot of difference:)and the auto looks super cute...:)

autos are always cute but not the -walas with their opening sentence "meterse twenty rupees zyaada sir... wapasi mein customer nahi milega" :)
