Since opposition parties have lent their support to the bandh, and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the government would not try to scuttle it, it is likely to be total.

KSRTC and BMTC buses
The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) Staff and Workers Federation extended its support for ‘Bengaluru Bandh’ and both KSRTC and BMTC services are likely to be affected.
Private cab services
Ola, Uber Drivers and Owners Association President Tanveer Pasha announced support for the bandh and decided to stay off the roads on Tuesday. “There will be no compromise when it comes to land, language, and water. Without any second thoughts, we support the bandh,” Pasha said, supporting the bandh.
Schools and Colleges
Though the Private schools union general secretary Shashikumar said that they would extend their support by wearing black bands on their arms, holiday is yet to be declared for many schools and colleges. A decision will be taken today on it.
What services will be open?

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited will be running metro services across the city on Tuesday. There will be no disruptions on any line of Namma metro in Bengaluru.
