Karnataka: BMTC likely to launch NIMBUS app later this month

The Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is likely to launch the much-anticipated NIMBUS app later this month, said Surya Sen, BMTC director of information and technology, Tuesday.

The BMTC is planning to officially launch the app on iOS and Android platforms in the next four to five days. The BMTC had missed several deadlines in the past to launch the app that is aimed at easing passenger commute.

The NIMBUS app offers real-time tracking of BMTC buses and also contains an SOS alert feature for flagging emergency situations. According to the officials, the app was supposed to be launched on December 13, but the launch was postponed to December 23. But the launch got postponed again as ‘bugs’ had to be fixed.
