If you are looking for ideas on waste reduction and employee care, take cues from the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) which has garnered widespread praise for transforming a discarded vehicle into a mobile canteen for its staff. This initiative not only addresses the need for convenient and affordable meals for its workforce but also sets a precedent for sustainable practices within the organisation.
The mobile canteen will be stationed at the Peenya and Yeshwantpur depots of the corporation. News of this resourceful initiative quickly spread online, with netizens lauding the BMTC’s efforts on social media.
The video shared by @thebangalore360 reveals how the insides of the canteen look. One can see it has been crafted from an old decommissioned bus, which had reportedly covered a distance of 10,64,298 km. With its vibrant makeover and efficient design, the mobile canteen now dispenses hot meals and beverages to BMTC employees. The video already has over a thousand views.

Many were quick to praise the organisation for its commitment to employee well-being and its innovative approach to waste management. One user wrote, “Are there any chances for common people to get a scarp bus to start up a food truck?” Another sought to know, “How will people at the end of the bus get out of their chairs?”
