[Resolved]  BMTC Student Bus Pass Issue — Bangalore University Students eligible for Bus Pass Only

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

Hi,

I am Ganesh studying in a B School affiliated to Annamalai University. The institute is located in Bengaluru. BMTC denied issuing me a Bus Pass as my B School was not affiliated to Bangalore University. This is pathetic as I am still studying in Bangalore as a student and nowhere in the below two links is this rule stated.

On enquiring with the superintendent at Majestic Bus Station, he told me that the students whose colleges are affiliated to Bangalore University, pay revenue to the Karnataka Govt, whereas non Karnataka Universities get revenue in their respective states and the Karnataka Government does not get anything.

On informing him that Bangalore University was not capable of providing a course content to my liking and my interests, he informed that it was not BMTC's problem.

This is education for god's sake and no matter which university in India, a college in Karnataka is affiliated to, the Government Of Karnataka (Mr. Yediyurappa) or the BMTC president should take immediate action to rectify this issue.and give all students of Karnataka, bus passes of their comfort and not put IDIOTIC restrictions like this. Personally I dont care if the Karnataka Government gets revenue or not, I need my bus pass immediately.

The Government should treat this as a Service for "STUDENTS"
