[Resolved]  BMTC Volvo Bus — Misbehavior of BMTC Volvo bus conductor

BMTC buses bangalore — Misbehaving and Cheating conductor

I boarded MBS15(KA01 8550) from HAL kalyanamantapa at around 9:40 am. I got a ticket to ITPL backgate, the condutor didnt give me the balance, instead wrote the amount at the back of the ticket. While my stop was approaching i asked the conductor for balance amount. First he pretended like he didnt hear me. Then somehow i got his attention and asked him for the balance. By that time the bus reached the stop. Inspite of having change, he said he didnt have and asked me for the change. Since i didnt have, he gave me less than actual amount and asked me to get down at the stop. I refused and i pointed out that he had enough change. Then he started yelling in local language and asked the driver move. I argued with him and somehow got the balance. When i asked the conductor to stop the bus he didnt mind and the driver too. And then i had to get down at the next stopping.

That is not all. Every day some thing or the other like this happens to almost all. Either they don't give the balance or they take money little less than actual and dont give tickets and if somebody has the guts to ask for, then they will start shouting as if it was the passengers fault. BMTC has to look into this very seriously. BMTC has to appoint checking inspectors to get hold of this misbehaving conductors/drivers. I've been travelling daily in local BMTC for the past 8 months and so far has not seen a single ticket checking inspector. If this is the condition, then why won't be BMTC under huge loss. After all, the conductors and drivers are filling their pockets.

I liked this content/ article. I would certainly recommend the same to others as well. from: http://www.picturebite.com

Yes the same happened to my friend. She asked for the balance to the conductor, he noded the head. Thniking that he will come front she got down the bus, but the conductor signaled the driver to start the bus. Hope all these complaints sholud be seen by the authority and do the needful

Yes the same thing happened to my sister also. When she asked the conductor for the balance, he simply asked her to get down from the bus. My sister being young got afraid and got down from the bus without receiving the change at all...
I seriously hope that some strict actions to be taken to these conductors...

7.30 AM onwards it is peak time for bangalore traffic. And most of the daily commuters who are travelling far distance has taken volvo monthly pass of 1500 ruppes. paying this much amount is fine only. But people should get the facility which they are charged. There are very less number of buses with less frequency in out outring road. Need to wait for one ITPL bus for 10 to 15 mins. and again stand for almost 2 hours with fully packed bus. People are not able to stand also comfortably. Please incease the frequency of busues during peak hours. morning 7.30 to 9 atleast. and evening from ITPL also after 7 there is very less number of buses. all are standing for the entier distance.

I travel regularly by volvo 333z from Mahalakshmi Layout to Marthalli. I again board the same bus in the evening to reach back to Mahalakshmi Layout..

My complaint here is.. The bus displays the number as 333Z when it starts from Mahalakshmi Layout to indicate it is going towards ITPL..

Similarly they are expected to display the number as 333Z when it leaves ITPL and is going towards Mahalakshmi Layout.. The bus displays 335E which is an indication of ITPL to KBS.. Poople waiting for the bus to reach beyond KBS like Rajajinagar, Mahalakshmi layout are misguided..

On enquiring the driver.. he responds saying nobody can makeout its going to Majestic and we dont get good collection.. As I understand the buses are arranged not for money collection and it is meant for the convenience of the people commuting from one end of the city to the other..

THEY HAVE TO DISPLAY THE BUS NUMBER AS 333Z TO AND FROM FROM MAHALAKSHMI LAYOUT TO ITPL AND THE SAME APPLIES FOR RETURN TRAVEL TOO...

I take 500BM volvo, which starts from RBI layout..
The bus is supposed to leave by 8.25 but the bus comes to the stop at 8.45 almost everyday.

This is causing lot of inconvenience to the people travelling from RBI to ITPL.

Since there is only one bus per hour, we have to depend on that bus only.

Everyday more than 20 ppl will be waiting fot the bus.

Please look into the issue.

Today I boarded at Volvo bus no.825 which was going from Majestic toward Hebbal at morning 9am. Bus registration no. was KA-57-F-973. My destination was Palace Ground. When I got up to get down at Palace Ground the driver didn't stop the bus saying there were not many passengers to get down so he cannot stop it there I need to get down at next stop which was Merki Circle, despite of requesting him several times he didn't stop the bus and I had to get down at the next stop. I possess a bus pass which cost 2250Rs. After paying this much amount is this the behaviour I am suppose to face and this happened many times earlier as well. Please take some action this.

I travel daily from majestic in 335E with a monthly pass, holders are always iltreated with bad words as it doesn't count for there revenue.
And happens to stop bus for long time and sometimesomany a times over taking wit other buses.plbuses.pleas mind conductor to behave well.
There happens lot of cheating when it comes to givin back change amount too.
