Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] Complaints & Reviews

Bus Number:KA57 F-1428 Date and Time: 31 Jul 15, 6:20pm Place: Silk Board Hi, Today I took a Non-AC bus from silk board to BTM as there was a huge traffic and AC buses were not available that time. The moment I got on to the bus, the lady conductor started asking me to go back. Since it was fully crowded, I said there is no place. She the started shouting at me in kannada and then pushed me. I said "Behave properly". Then again she came back and hit on my hand as I was holding the pipe and she wanted to cross it. Anyways I know the behaviour of conductors will not be changed. Even Lord Bramha cannot teach uneducated people but still I request BMTC higher authorities to atleast give it a try to teach conductors how to behave.

This bus driver was very rash while driving from Kundalahalli bridge to to ITPL, the driving was zig zag, did not follow the lane rule and was about to hit our vehicle. on that they stopped and abused our driver and was about to hit our driver, for no mistake. this is totally unacceptable on BMTC that such drivers are still in the department and creating chaos on the city roads.

Hope you will take some action to stop such things happening on the road.

Bus Number - Ka01 F2- 3975
Volvo - vajra (357 route number)
date & time ;- 5.45pm Friday 31.July.2015
place:- Kundalahalli bridge to Kadugodi.

I boarded bus No. 144E around 6.15 pm (which goes to Rose Garden as I wanted to go to Infant Jesus Church) at St. Philomena stop and gave conductor Rs. 20 when he asked for change of Rs. 2 which I told him will give if I find and collect back Rs. 10 as ticket costed Rs. 12 only. When I reached the last stop I asked for my remaining Rs. 8 to refund he started abusing me saying I owe him Rs. 2/- . Conductor was so rude. I really felt hard and told him God will punish for cheating people. How can they digest food when eating others money. They should be shame of such behaviour. Its not matter of Rs. 8, but loyalty matters.

Respected Sir, I had taken route # 500CA (Volvo) from Sarjapur Signal to go to Vydehi Hospital, Whitefield on 16th Jul, 2015 at around 9:30 AM. The ticket price for this journey is Rs. 60/-. As I did not have the change, I gave Rs. 500/-. The lady conductor gave me the tickets and wrote Rs. 440/- at the back of the ticket as the due amount. However, on arriving at the destination she refused to give me the change. As I had urgent work, I had to get down and leave without taking the change. Later that day, I enquired at the Vydehi BMTC depot as to how can I collect the balance and they informed that I needed to go to Kathriguppe BMTC Bus depot as the conductor was based from that depot. I went to that depot on 18th Jul, 2015 to enquire about the matter and was informed by the booking clerk that I will need to call the conductor directly and get the matter resolved or else come to the depot early morning before the shift starts and talk to her about this. He gave me the number[protected] to get her mobile number and speak with her. However, there is no response on that number. And now I donot know how to get the money back. Please help.

Hi, Today I boarded bus number KA 57F324 from Bellandur Petrol Pump at 10:05 AM. The display board was displaying bus number 500 - Electronics City - Wipro Gate. The conductor issued me a day pass as any other BMTC bus. But the bus stopped from where the airport buses starts. When asked the driver and conductor denied that the bus was supposed to go to Wipro gate and they said the display was never showed Wipro gate as the destination. I am new to Electronics City and I found it is an utter harassment and frustrating. When I asked them that from next time do not mislead people on the wrong bus number and display they replied rudely and said I can complain and they dont care. Action must be taken for these kind of people. Thanks, Reshmi.

misbehaviour of conductor with women My name is Anchal.While going to office today( july 17th 2015), a bus conductor of 335A of bmtc misbehaved with me. I took a ticket and paid him for that. after some time he asked something in Kannada and again he gave me another ticket and started asking for the money again. When i showed him the previous ticket and told him that i already have the ticket, he misbehaved with me...and threw the ticket on me.I want serious action to be taken. This is not the way to treat a women.The bus no. is - KA01F-9578

root number 320 (near itpl) today I when I get into bus around 10:00, I asked conductor to issue bus pass, he issued the yesterdays date and denied to change the pass. Bus no: KA01 FA 0829, Pass no: TCM 6458880. I think the conductor has issued the same date before who collected the daily passes from him.

Sir, I request you to please increase the number of bus in the route from Shivaji Nagar to HAL for Bus (330, G-1). We are facing big problem during pick office time at 8AM to 10AM and office off time at 7PM to 9PM. Please think about it in point of view from public that we face daily. We the people are hanging on the bus's door and travelling by taking risk of life. You appoint the T.C for checking ticket, but you need to inspect the public problems too. Regards, B Shankar

I am a daily commuter in BMTC bus in JambuSavari Dinne route. But the buses which are operated in this route have BMTC tag on it but the BMTC officials have lost complete control over their drivers and conductors here. The buses timings and where they stop the buses for how much time is all decided by the drivers and conductors. These drivers and conductors in this route think commuters do not have any work because of that they are sitting in this bus and dont follow timings. We are simply spending 45min to 1 hr for 20 min journey. There is bus stop called Kothanur Dinne which is 4th bus stop after JambuSavari Dinne starting point. Actually buses after starting from starting point should not unnecessarily stop in any of the bus stop for long time. But the buses starting from JambuSavari Dinne comes and stops in this Kothanur Dinne Bus Stop for almost 15 min at any time of the day. I have being complaining against this with the BMTC from 6 months but they have not taken action against this issue. Because of this i have missed my connecting buses and being late to office. Worst thing is i had to travel to some other city once so i wanted to travel to Majestic bus stand. The time from JambuSavari Dinne to Majestic should be maximum of 1hr 30 min. But the bus here took almost 3hrs and i missed the bus. Many people have missed their trains also. If we tell this things to drivers and conductors they come over us like goondas. Every bus in this route has drivers and conductors who are like rowdies and do not treat the passengers with dignity.They should understand that people who travel in this buses are highly respected in this society than these drivers and conductors. This issue should have solved by this time by BMTC but even after 6 months of complaining they have not taken things seriously. The buses form JambuSavari Dinne should not stop in Kothanur Dinne for more than 20 seconds and should reach Jayanagar 4th block in 20-30 minutes. The bus drivers and conductors in this route must be severely punished for acting like goondas and rowdies.This is our demand. Please atleast from the Indian consumer Complaint board we will get the issue solved.

Today i was waiting for bus at domlur the one near flyover in domlur koramangala intermediate ring road at 8:35AM on 3rd july 2015. I saw a BMTC bus number KA01 F9404 deliberately collide with fellow bus Route 8. Resulting in damage of window glass of route 8 bus. I got into the bus ( KA01 F9404) who was at fault of this accident. When all passenger asked to the conductor on the irresponsible behavior of the driver, the conductor too replied harshly and also said the driver did the right thing

I had boarded a Volvo bus 500 CA (ITPL-Banshankari) at around 8:30 AM IST on 2'nd, June, Thursday 2015 at Kundanhalli gate. Registration Number- KA 01 FA-1391 It quickly got crowded with many passengers. As a result I was unable to spot the conductor when he was asking for tickets. After few stops when the bus became less crowded, I gave him money and asked him for a ticket from Kundanhalli Gate to Silkboard. He immediately starts scolding me and abusing me in Kannada! I do not know Kannada very well. I tried explaining to him that because of lot of passengers infront of me, I was unable to spot him. But he does not listen to me and tries to threaten me with fine. When I try to switch with communicating with English, he starts insulting me with rude language. Thankfully some co-passengers calmed him down and he gave me the ticket. As a conductor he should be more understanding regarding the situation and should not take out his frustration on daily passengers. As a traveller, I had bought the ticket and completed my duty. Its the conductor's duty to check and ask for tickets especially when the bus is fully crowded.

Bus service of 127 between Shivajinagar and Jeevanahalli is not only infrequent, but most afternoons, passengers board one bus and are kept waiting endlessly for the bus to move from shivajinagar. In the interim, another bus comes along, and all passengers need to disembark to board the second one. It seems passengers travelling on this route are being given free rides, hence this treatment. It is necessary on part of the BMTC to not only improve the frequency of the Bus service but also make sure that buses run on time.
