Case Study: Helping Tenants Get Their
Employees to Office
International Tech Park Bangalore is located in
Whitefield, a bustling IT hub situated 20 kilometres
to the east of Bangalore city centre. While Whitefield
today is a self-sustaining IT hub with numerous
retail malls and residential developments, many of
the employees who work in International Tech Park
Bangalore live in other parts of Bangalore. Although
several arterial roads link Whitefield to the rest of
Bangalore, key traffic junctions become choke points
during peak hours. In Whitefield, the lack of a metro
network further reduces the transportation options
for our park employees.
To help our park employees get to work, we
struck a strategic cooperation with Bangalore
Metropolitan Transport Corporation (the State
transport authority) to provide dedicated bus
services from our park. At International Tech Park
Bangalore, we built a bus depot within the park
that can accommodate forty buses at any one
time. There are in total 88 different bus routes
operating to and from our park, covering most of
the major residential areas within Bangalore city.
On average, 6,000 park employees use this bus
service daily. The provision of these dedicated bus
services reduces the average travelling time of our
park employees by 25%.
