Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] Complaints & Reviews

This is relating to bus no. KA01FA1384 (500CA)currently plying from Brookfield to banashankari. This is the second day where I pay Rs.85 and travel in an unhygienic bus i.e suffocation due to foul air. The conductor herself have to cover nose in order to reduce the smoky air from ac vents. Can you take action to stop such buses plying without fixing it.

Hi Concerned BMTC Team,
I hope this message will not be deleted or cornered, like other messages in this respected forum.

Regarding :G4 BMTC bus operations in Brigade road, one of the happening cities of Bangalore, Karnataka

Its been happening since August 2016, but today I thought I should write to you guys. Sidestepping the truth is not going to help anymore.
Today, from 11.23 am to 11.47 am,...

Respected sir /madam
I am a resident of K G colony, G M Palya, Bangalore 560075
I here by would like to request you to set up a bus stop between BEML MAIN GATE and G M PALYA bus stop. In the stretch between the above mentioned bus stops there are a lot of residents who find it difficult to get into the buses due to the longer distance between the two bus stops. So a bus stop in between the about two mentioned bus stops will be convenient to many residents . This is a humble request
Hoping for a positive response
Thanking you
Yours sincerely
Resident of K G Colony, G M Palya, Bangalore 75

Today i was travelling by bmtc bus from veerasandra to chandapura.
When i produced my aadhaar card for getting my concession eligible for senior citizens the conductor denied it. Moreover he behaved in a rude manner. The details of my bus ticket is furnished below

Electronic city to chandapura ka01fa1600

Tknno 10147. Kindly give necessary directions to the concerned to give directions to bmtc bus conductors to accept aadhaar card for senior citizen concession. More over this particular conductor may be warned for his rude behaviour.

Yesterday (18/11/2016 time: around 8.30 pm) i was travelling from bommanahalli to silk board in bmtc and because of more rush i could not take the ticket and in next stop rupena agrahara i caught by ticket checker and i have paid rs.200/- as fine.

Now the thing is they started shouting at me in vulgar language which i can't mention those words here. Even though i was ready to pay the fine still why they shouted in such a vulgar language, who gave the rights to them to do that. They have collected my wallet and id card of my company till i pay the fine. And one more thing in fine receipt they have mentioned that i have got into bus in hebbagodi which is completely wrong. And the ticket checker given me the carbon copy and not the original copy.

Docket no - bmtcc10179486

On 24th December 2016, I was going with my Family towards silk board. On Marathalli signal while taking left (with proper traffic light signal and turn indicator on), Bus Number KA01F4733 overtook me from left side and started changing lane towards right. There was another vehicle to my right because of which I could not move my car towards my right and got a big scratch on my new car. I tried to get attention of driver by flashing the lights and pressing horn but to no use. I request

I was travelling from mahadeva pura to new horizon college. I had given rs 100/- to the conductor and the ticket was worth rs 48/-, and the conductor as usual did not return the change immediately. But i had not seen that he wrote only rs 2/- on the ticket back. When i was about to get down, when i asked for change, he returned only rs 2/- and he argued that i had given only rs 50/- and he did not give back the change at all.

Yesterday around 2pm or so, after availing treatment at Manipal hospital old airport road i boarded Volvo route 335 at Manipal Hospital Signal. The Conductor was seated in his designated place and I stated that i wanted to get off at Domlur bus stand, took a seat, searched for Rs.10/- in my wallet and held it in my hand to buy the ticket. Perhaps Conductor wanted to issue tickets when more passengers got in at Kodihalli. At Kodihalli 2 Ticket Checkers got in and i was not allowed to either buy my ticket or get off at my destination stop.

The lady ticket checker demanded a Fine for ticketless travel. I refused saying that i had the money in my hand and i was waiting for the Conductor to come to me. Else i would have purchased the ticket after disembarking. I told her i have never travelled ticketless. The male ticket checker intervened and said that i should have stood in front of the Conductor taken my ticket and then sat down. How am I supposed to search for money in my bag with a bandaged hand and balance myself in a moving Volvo or any bus for that matter.

When i refused to pay they have threatened to take me to the town hall police stn. I did not back down as it was in no way my fault.

A Co passenger seated next to me tried to explain to the TCs that the Conductor had yet to come up to me and that i had the money for the ticket in my hand. They have quarreled with her and threatened to take her to the police station. Whilst telling her that she should be able to read Kannada as this was Karnataka.

Another Co passenger tried to explain to them that i was yet to buy the ticket and the conductor had yet to come to me to complete the transaction. The male TC has quarreled with him and taken him for no apparent reason to the town hall police station. I was allowed to buy a ticket just before the TCs disembarked at town hall police station just a few minutes before 2.25 pm.

Tell me sir, passengers are allowed to sit in available seats or stand whilst holding on to support away from the Driver's bay or bus doors before searching for the money and buying tickets right. The conductor's duty is to come up to the passenger and ensure that the ticket is purchased.

I was not evading buying a ticket so how can the TC demand fine? And quarrel with me and other passengers?

their conduct and behaviour with me had become a prestige issue as I didnot pay the fine and 2 passengers came to my rescue.

BMTC is doing a great deal to continuously improve its services. Therefore you cannot allow TCs to bully passengers and misbehave with them. This will tarnish the Corporation's image.

More customer oriented training should be given to the staff.

Thanks and regards

Hi this is veena.
I travel everyday from hennur depot to channasandra to my office.
Today I got into the bus, I have attached a copy of my ticket here, and gave him ₹14/- to get the ticket, but he took only 10 RS and went to issue the ticket in the back, and he he did give a ticket for me. So I waited after he came handover him the change and asked for the ticket but he refused to take that amount and said that I have not given him any amount. I explained and even CO passengers Also informed that I have given and then he started arguing lke mad and scolding us all. He was using bad words on all. Is this the way a conductor behaves. If so how can a women passengers can commute. Is this kind of people that they r recruit. If bmtc doesn't take any action, all women passengers will be in trouble.

I request higher authorities of bmtc to take serious action on this. Nimma mundina nade tumba mahatvaddu.

After I got into the Volvo bus at 7:30 pm, I got a seat at marathahalli after a lady got off the bus. This was the first row Single seat. A while later the conductor started threatening that I should not sit there it is his seat and I must get off... Speaking I'll of my behavior education... I told him this is the first time I'm being told that passenger should not sit on the first seat.. He was Grumbling all through... Staring etc.. Once another seat got vacant I moved to the other seat on Humanitarian grounds.
I think the staff need to be trained properly additionally they cannot threaten a woman in the bus.

The conductor had not worn an identification batch too.

Hi,

I commute from Nagwara to Ecospace every day in BMTC Volvo buses.
I boarded this same bus 3 times and the behavior of this conductor was rude. Every day they hold the change and will not give us back until we ask for it or there will be 5 Rs pending all the time (Airport Volvo, Vajra are too good as they ask back whoever wants the change back). Really sad to inform you that the guys in private bus are better than the Volvo conductors. When BMTC started Volvo service how good it was and the way they behave to customers. Now everything changed and they target especially people from IT organizations thinking they earn more. I gave 100 Rs and he wrote 25 back side of the ticket. I informed that I got change and can render, still he said he will give while getting down. I saw one passenger near to me giving him change or 20 Rs in 1 rupee coin. Still while getting down he said he do not have 25 rs to give back and he abused me giving 10 Rs asking back the change.

On 25 oct 2016, i boarded bus no. ka -01-f4908 from kalyan nagar, around 10.30 to manyata. i gave conductor (100 + 2rs coins) for tickect of 12 rupees. conductor returned me 2 rupees coin. i asked for ticket, he said its fine as it shorter distance. when i asked again for ticket, conductor asked me to get down from bus. i got down and walked to the nearest stop and catched another bus.

The behavior of conductor was rude, i request bmtc to take appropriate action against such ppl.

I have a very bad experience day by day travelling with Bangalore BMTC Volvo bus. Most of the BMTC conductor in Bangalore are manner less and cheater . They talk very rude apart from cheating. This morning a lady conductor did not return the change though she have it and best part is she took the ticket and tore it . My stop is in Vydehi and I asked the change in IGATE stop. She also said she will give when Vydehi stop reach. While getting down I asked, she said I have given to one lady you take it from her, which lady ? i don't know. I asked the change, With a surprise this Lady conductor told I dont have your money and you go complain if you want to waste your time. May be she is right, this is not the first time I am complaining about BMTC bus, and no action has been taken, its really bitter to know you live in a country that promote corruption, its because of the BMTC Bangalore that this culprit are encouraging day by day to cheat people.
