Dear Sir/Madam, I want to lodge a complaint against BMTC Bus driver Manjunatha (KA-01F-4727) - Route# 282. Time - 7pm The incident took place today around 7pm at Yelahanka Old town near Hanuman temple crossing were the bus driver ramped up and hit my car from right side and badly damaged the side door and bumper. I got the green signal from traffic constable to cross the junction whereas the BMTC bus driver was asked to stop by the traffic constable. However, ignoring the cops instruction, the driver jumped the signal and hit my car badly and later abused me as if I did a mistake by crossing the green signal. As soon as I called cops for help, the driver flew away from the scene. I understand that the BMTC bus drivers have the right to hit anyone since they are on govt. Duty and they know that no one is going to ask them and are not at all concerned for the vehicle they are driving since its not their private property. I am not sure if this forum will help me out in punishing the driver for his negligence but still I expect justice and will wait for the same. My contact email ID is shrikanth.[protected]@hotmail.com

Hello Sir, BUS NUMBER-KA57 F1143 ROUTE NUMBER-500A TIME-10:50A.M. (approx) DATE[protected] STOP-HSR (agara) depot I take bus from HSR depot (agara depot) to silk board everyday. Never in my experience of past 1 year I came across such misbehaving conductor. Today, i.e.[protected] I took bus from HSR depot stop at around 10:50 A.M. As I got in to the bus I saw the first seat empty (just beside front door) and I sat there. Conductor in a very rude manner asked which stop and when I told Silk board and paid him 12/-, initially he resisted to give ticket but later when I asked him to give ticket he handed over a ticket to me. This is a minor issue. The main issue is stated below. Once the ticket was issued, conductor rudely said "when so many seats are vacant at the back why do you want to sit in that seat? Cant you see those seats?" By the time I turned to check seats some passengers got in to bus in next stop and went and sat there and only the seats facing in the opposite direction were left empty. I don't prefer sitting in those seats as I get headache and start vomiting so I continued sitting in first seat. Mean time I tried to explain my situation to conductor but he was so rude that he almost he came on me and started abusing. When I again tried to tell him what is the problem he lost his temper and started abusing with very bad words. He told driver to stop the bus in between and told me to get down. Driver was so cooperative (for wrong things though!! ) that he actually slowed down bus so that i can get down. But then I explained my situation to driver and he did not force me to get down and told conductor to keep quiet otherwise she will vomit. Only then the conductor went back to issue tickets to other passengers. In any case if he wants me to sit back he can tell the same thing in a normal way instead of scaring girls by getting on them and then start abusing them. Had I raised my voice, the manner less conductor and driver would have gone to any level to humiliate me and abuse me. Being a girl I had to keep quiet thinking its risky for me if I quarrel with them. As they may harm me. My question is, Is there any rule that passengers should not sit in first seat? If so why is there a seat? More over there was no old/physically disabled person standing and I am still continuing to sit without offering them my seat. Bus is not at all crowded, so I can sit wherever I want ( reserved for ladies). So what made this conductor to misbehave with me ? If such people are not taught any lesson then they will continue harassing passengers especially ladies. So I kindly request you to teach him manners and he should be punished/fined.

Sir, we are a group of private firm women emplo yees whose time in seconds is worth million. The Athibele bus bearing no KBS3 KA 57F-1240 do not stop at maharani's college stop at all.We have noticed this particular bus never stopping at all eventhough the bus is almost empty we have to run amidst the heavy traffic to climb the bus and inspite o[censored]s seen running the bus did'nt stop. at last due to traffic the bus stopped and w hen we tried climbing the conductor harshly denied us entry .This is the third time the conductor has acted this way, please take immediate action.. because we will definitely not rest untill justice is done to us. thanking you, Geetha.D.philip,

Hi, We are one among those who get harassed every day by the auto drivers, bus drivers, sometimes even the literates. One incident on 7-Nov-2014 crossed the thin line of limit of tolerance. It was around 9.30 PM. I was driving my car to my mother';s house. My husband was following me in a two wheeler. We were going to park our car at my mother';s place and get back in the two wheeler. On the road from Banashankari temple to Sarakki junction, near the vegetable market, there was hardly any traffic. And the roads are at it';s worst state. Hence, I was driving carefully when a BMTC bus tried to overtake from the left. But there was no way he could get through as there was hardly any space even for an auto to pass by. My husband, who was right behind the car and next to that bus called out and asked him to wait. The driver started swearing at him. We ignored and passed by. To us, the story ended there. We went ahead and stopped at the Sarakki signal for the signal to go green. The bus guy managed to come and stop right next to us, continues swearing. The dirty language pisses off any human being. There was a conductor and other driver in the bus who came down and started picking a fight. My husband was alone in the two wheeler, vulnerable with drunk uncivilised rascals around him. He fought back because there was no mistake from our side. The so called public came down, in support of their bus driver. And it was fun for them to harass someone. No one know what happened, no one cares who is right or wrong, no one knows justice. Amidst this chaos, I managed to note the bus number and take a photograph of the BMTC officials who started all this. It hurts me to say that I saw my husband getting hit for no reason. We were being harassed while the public enjoyed. And that';s where it crosses all limits. I want to Complain against the bus driver who seemed drunk, the other BMTC Officials who were surely drunk. Please help let them know that they were wrong. This is just a initiative so that no one else goes through the trauma for no reason. It';s high time the BMTC drivers learn some traffic rules and discipline. The bus number was KA01-FA-210. The route number of the bus was 213. The photo I managed to take is also attached. Please help save innocents from such daily harassment. Thank you. Bharathi S.

This happened on 31st november.

I caught G3 bus (which goes from EC Wipro to Brigade road, Bus No. KA 01-FA-2254) from Forum stop towards Brigade road. The actual bus fair is Rs.12. But the bus conductor gave me ticket of Rs. 19 which is a used ticket and drawn Rs.8 on the back side of the ticket. When reaching the destination, I produced the ticket complaining against the fake ticket, then first he thrown the ticket and second he refused to give the remaining amount (8) on demand. This shows completely no respect to the passenger as well as no respect to the citizen. Please take serious action against him, in order to avoid such violation in future to the citizen. Regards.

Bus number KA FA-01 110(Flyover (Wiprogate) Get into this bus from slickboard around 11 AM(28/10/2014).This bus conductor was chewing paan parag while giving ticket to passenger ..When he was given ticket to me some bad smell came out from his mouth .I think on duty he was drunken .To avoid that smell he used paan masala. Not given balance to one lady when she was get down at electronic city stop.Another girl he didn't give balance so refused to get down that stop.So he given when it was reached next stop. Please take action against that bus conductor immediately.They are public servant they should have some responsibility while they are in this job.Next time If I see that conductor in same manner I will put complaint against him in the court with valid evidence.

He asked for change but I dint have change of 4Rs. He told that he too dont have change and gave me the ticket. I told him to write 6Rs behind the ticket so that while getting down I can ask him. For that he started to scold me like anything. Even when I asked him the change of Rs6 while getting down He started to scold me.

Please consider this complaint and take the action because No one has right to insult anyone like that in public. Regards, Laxmi

I got into route no. 314-D bus no:KA 53 F-111, at banashankari today around 1.15 pm, even though i saw the bus having vacant seat by the time i got into the bus, i could not get the seat and a man who posed himself as BMTC staff came sat in the seat meant for conductor of that bus. When I requested him to go back to the seat meant for male passengers he replied in an arrogance that he is BMTC staff. Later an old lady struggling all the way to climb the steps of the bus got in and asked for seat and he showed her the seat which was four rows behind, she took all the pain to reach the vacant seat. Next stop at sarakki a pregnant lady got into the bus along with her mother and when she saw the first seat occupied by this man even she requested to leave the seat for her to sit, but, even then he was so rude and showed her back seat where a lady obliged her with a seat of hers. For all these sequences, conductor and the driver was the witness where they dint even try to help the passengers who was asking for their rights. We as Bangaloreans want to know what is the duty of the conductors and drivers..? Whether a male staff can be seated in ladies seat even though the bus is fully crowded. In this case a male who was sitting in the ladies seat will be punished with a fine of Rs.100 or just ignore as this conductor and driver ignored this case. Since a month or more i am observing there is a yellow coloured notification sticked on the glass of BMTC buses where the passengers can complaint regarding male sitting the ladies reserved seats and, and the notice has been torned/scratched exactly to the phone numbers mentioned. Is this smart work of our conductors and drivers.

I have boarded the bus and gave 10/- ordinary bmtc bus at 10.15 AM 07 October 2014 Bus number "KA 01F 9803". He gave me 5/- back, then I have asked for ticket he was saying that I will give 10/- ticket. What the hell, if we insist on giving ticket how will they give 10/- ticket. I asked him why will you give 10/- ticket give me 6/- ticket and change. He is saying I dont have change get down of the bus. He took 8/- change from another person I have seen that and in his bag also he have lots of change and he cannot give 4/- change?

What the hell when we asked for ticket they will not give and asking passengers to get down of the bus. It's ridiculous. What will be the action taken on this conductor? I want to know the case history.
