Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] Complaints & Reviews

His is about inconvenience caused for the passengers of HSR Layout
HSR BDA complex is the main bus stop where passengers from get off to go to Electronic city over the flyover using the 356CW bus. Since 356CW is supposed to starts from HSR BDA . Even though the new route as been added the drivers and conductors refuse to start/stop bus from HSR BDA.

I have raised complaints so many times to the officers, but its been a daily problem and its not resolved.. I keep waiting at BDA but buses dont come and if they come they don't stop saying We are going for Breakfast, lunch and they don't come back even after an hour.Please take necessary action immediately to this daily problem and provide minimum comfort to travel to Electronic city using 356CW bus.

I was traveling in BMTC bus today morning. Got in to the bus near elements mall (nagawara junction). Asked for ticket to the rachenahalli main road (petrol bunk). Ticket charge was Rs.5. I gave Rs.10 to the conductor. He refused to give me the ticket, saying he needs exact five rupees only. when i said i don't have five rupees and that i have only ten rupees, he made me get down from the bus immediately. Exactly at that place a ticket checker came and he behaved rudely without listening to what i am saying. He dint ask anything to the conductor and he kept asking money from me. I insisted him to follow procedure and ended up paying 120 fine. he refused to provide me any detail regarding the bus conductor or himself (name and details). so i ended up taking pictures of all involved in this traumatic incident. i have attached all the necessary evidences along with this mail. i request you to take strict action against all involved. Hoping for justice.

Faced this problem many times when I don't get the change from the conductor. while travelling from krishna nanda (police quarters) to 1st block rajajinagar. the ticket cost is Rs12. Conductor either keeps lesser money and don't provide the ticket or simply keeps the change with him even if I have seen him having the change. This is happening everytime as most of the conductors have made this a secondary source of earning extra money. before my stop i asked my change he said he dont have, n ive seen that he was having change.upon that he took srtight route to navrang instead of normal route(diacon hospital route).n stopped in middle where pedestrians cant walk on the road as u know flyover is happening in rajajajinagr route..he argued with like hell ..and told me to take xtra ticket to navrang...what the hell is this .instead of giving me change and telling me to take xtra ticket...at last i got down but i dint get the change.. wen i asked his name he said RAJU KA[protected]G- majestic to sathntra yogha nagar name plate .around 3.40PM[protected] saturday We don't see any strict action against this but atleast the ticket prices can be made rounded to multiple of 5(Rs.5, Rs.10, Rs.15, etc) so that we don't face this not having change issue. or else provide them with sufficient change

Dear BMTC, Me too noticed and faced same issue I travel daily from Varthur to katamnallur cross (328HH and series buses from sarjapur n attibele) i am really fedup with this bus timings I can understand there wil be delay of 15 to 30 minutes bcase of traffic or any other reasons but this buses are too much sometimes we should wait for hours ( I frequently wait more than 1 hour both morning n evening times) and one more thing is usually this buses comes back to back atleast 10 buses at a time ...from hoskote what is the last bus timing...? 9:30 is last bus what I came to know from a conductor n sumtimes I get bus like 2 to 3 days in a week but why mostly I wait frm 8:45 to 9:30 no bus comes finally I should take private bus or auto enough having monthly bus pass...please luk into this n resolve this issue asap as we are middle class people I cannot afford extra expenses for private buses even though buying bus pass...thank u n hope we get resolution

Many times, for short distance travel although passengers pay ticket fare but conductors behave very rude to give the tickets.Today on 15th Nov 2015, travelled from Thubarahalli to Spice garden.I paid the amount and asked for ticket.He replied entry closed in book although Bus was till Majestic. Bus No- KA01 FA 1827. When asked again about ticket, he behaved very rudely and shouted on me.

I was travelling with 2 other fellows on sunday in volvo bmtc to KBS and conducter suggested to take a daily pass. I agreed and asked him if everyone requires an ID card. He said that if one member has then its enough. I cross checked twice and he said the same thing. Later when I was returning back and got into another bus, the bus conducter asked for everyone's identity. I asked him that if that is the rule why were we given the pass but he asked us to buy tickets. We refused and got down from the bus. I went to enquiry counter and they asked me to go to another counter. This happened for sometime; I went to 3-4 counters and finally I got to the correct counter. The guy over their was very reluctant to listen to the problem. He was saying that ID card must be there and it is also written on the pass. But the poor fellow could not find the rule written on pass (poor knowledge about their job). He asked me to find an officer with star badge on the road. I asked for officer name but he didnt tell. I had to catch another bus to come back home. "SHAME ON BMTC" esp about performing their responsibilities.

think this needs to added for public knowledge: Traveling by buses in Bangalore is really a terrible experience for women, These kind of incidences are a common occurrence in Bangalore. I had purchased a day pass for Volvo bus. On my return journey the conductor of the bus said my bus pass for male passenger. So i explained to him that i had been traveling the whole day on that pass and no one had said anything so far. He said i had to get off the bus or purchase a ticket, which I refused to do. The conductor along with couple of passenger forced me to get off the bus. My pass was valid, i also carried a Id with me and the Id number written on the Day pass. So consumers specially women in Bangalore beware. This has not been isolated incident in Bangalore. I have seen this happen to young no native speaking women. The conductor in order to meet their target have come up with various tricks to meet it.

I was on my way back to home after college. As I came from charajpet towards Mysore road at a normal speed of 35-40 I had to brake my vehicle at a particular junction. As I waiting for the intersecting traffic to clear. A mahalakshmi layout bus..77E came in full speed and hit at the back of vehicle. I don't want to reveal the identity of the driver as he sounded co-operative. He made a deal to pay for the damage. I hope that he lives up...

Few mins back i was traveling in Route: 335 volvo from domlur bridge to Accounts Office in bus no. KA91F4526.. I gave Rs.20/- actual ticket cost. He gave ticket for Rs.15/-. I asked for my balance amount. He just said no change get out of the bus as my stop came. So bad treatment in front of the public. My Respect is at Stake. This is how bmtc treat people. If no change every passenger just go away leaving 2bucks or 3bucks. But they earn gud... Shame o[censored] BMTC... Gonna lodge complaint...

Hello,

I'm regular commutator of BMTC Volvo bus between Hebbala and ITPL, today ( 27th Oct'15) I boarded ITPL bus number KA01 FA1308, around 9 to 9.15 near Kalyanagar Stop and I taken a ticket for ITPL. Later near Big Bazar, he stopped the bus and told that is last stop and he will not go to ITPL. When i asked reason he told he informed last stop was Big Bazar, but he not informed earlier. In the mean time I noticed, he was arrogant with passenger and not friendly. He not given any specific reason for the change of route. But driver told me there is some issue with bus.

The conductor im duty should learn minimum culture and friendliness with passenger. Otherwise one day the passenger will take other option, as we paying exorbitant fare for the service.

I agree if any issue related to the bus to be taken care first, but it should be conveyed to the passenger in proper manner.

Regards,

Rajath

Sir, I am Sujatha Kodavala willing to give feedback about BMTC bus conductor. I am a daily passenger of BMTC Volvo( 500A route) - Route to Bhansankari. When I was travelling today morning, conductor scolded me asking me to go inside bus. He thought i don't understand Kannada and dared enough to use bad words. When i asked why did he scolded me he gave sarcastic smile. He even challenged me that I cant do anything against him. Please take action against him. Teach lessons how to talk to passengers. They don't have proper manners and are always disposed to quarrel and scolding for small things. There were posters in BMTC bus to give respect to women. What is the purpose of simply attaching the posters with out following.Here are the details of the bus and conductor photo.

Though there are ample buses, all the buses plying from Chandralayout to Majestic which are scheduled at 8.30 AM leave before 8.10 AM and there is very less frequency between 8.15 to 8.45 AM which is crucial time.Kindly ensure that they have 5-10 mins difference and there are buses in regular intervals.

I'm a regular traveller from Hosakote to Electronic city.There are lot of people boarding the same bus throughout the route as most people are are working in Electronic City.These days Buses of 399/399A are not frequent, not in correct timings and sometimes buses are coming.These days Morning Bus is very irregular and we are facing many difficulties to reach offices.In the evening time, its different problem that there is no bus from Electronic City to Hosakote, since 1 month, they were telling that evening bus from EC at 5:00PM Bus (399) has been Cancelled.But when we check for fews we got to know that the bus very irregular and moving in irregular timings.we left with only option to go for chandapura and catch 399A(7:00PM). Even that bus is very rush so that people are boarding on footrest also.when we ask drivers about this, some drivers are giving harsh replies and are making fun. Please put an end to this situation, we need more buses in the morning and evening to make safe travel to home.Maximun o[censored]s are Ladies itself facing a lot of trouble to make this journey.. Request you to take this on PRIORITY as now a days we are noticing too many sexual harassment cases in South Bangalore because of Not getting On time transportation and female employees are forced to take Private Transportation which is not SAFE Hope BMTC will respond ASAP. Thanks in Advance.

K-6 bus that was supposed to arrive at Gaurav Nagar bus (going towards kalyan nagar) stop didn't arrive at the scheduled time of 3.32pm. I waited from 3.20 pm. Meanwhile 2 buses (k-6) arrived at the opposite stop going towards jumbu savari dinne. It takes 10 minutes to reach jumbu savari dinne which means they should have returned to the Gaurav nagar bus stop within half an hour which didn't happen. Finally, a K-6 arrived at 4.30 pm. BMTC should find out the cause of the delay and take appropriate action to avoid passengers waiting for such long durations.
