Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] Complaints & Reviews

Date: 30/07/10
BMTC bus registration : KA 01 FA 710

I want to lodge a complaint on the bus driver of the above mentioned bus. This person was driving like a maniac near the Nagawara circle. He almost rammed into my car and when I asked him slow down he started using bad language and followed my car honking, even at the signal he kept honking behind my car just to irritate me. He would come dangerously close to the car. Such drivers are a serious threat to commuters. I hope such irresponsible drivers should be taken to task.

organized crime gang operating aboard bmtc buses are involved in pickpocketing and robbery.
there are certain routes like g8, c3, 201, 501, etc where max cases take place.on 15th july 2010 i got robbed of my mobile phone which was inside my pant pocket near kengeri upanagara on bus g-8. 4 to 5 ppl will always stand near the door and using distraction techniques pick pocket innocent ppl. if we create a scene, they force us to get down form the bus. this clearly shows that the conductor is also involved in the scam. i really hope honorable transport minister Mr.R Ashok takes strict action and helps get my mobile back.

Sir,

I took the front door to climb the bus at K R Puram Railway Station as there was no space in the back door for which the driver abused for nearly 15 minutes. Stopped the bus, pushed me down, and assaulted in front of public. He did not allow me to board the bus. I had purchased the ticket also. The driver did not had badge and was drunk. He did not disclose his name upon asking several times. The conductor kept quiet seeing all the drama. There is no rule as such that a male passenger has to climb only in the backdoor. This is an insult and inconvenience to the public.

Details:
Vehicle No: KA 01 FA 833,
Route: Number was not clearly visible, bus was going to ITPL.
Ticket No: D51 258028 For Rs 4/-
Time: 10:05 AM

I also made complaint to the BMTC control room[protected]. I hereby request honorable authority to take necessary disciplinary action upon the driver and the conductor.

Bus drivers don't give ticket and take less money then required. No checking is done for ticket.


People can travel in half price without ticket. And if we want ticket we have to pay full. And by default they don't give the ticket and all money goes in their pocket. We have to ask 2 or 3 times for ticket.


I go from kaduguri to ITPL daily. The ticket charges are 4/- . They take 2/- and dont give the ticket. And when i ask for the ticket they take again the 2/- extra and give me the ticket.

Hi

Bus number : 87 route.
Timings: 7:30 pm on magadi road
Details of the Bus: KA 01 FA19577.
Date: 22nd July 2010

Complaint:The bus conductor completly leans on the women passenger. The women passenger is almost bent 180 degree to the ground. There was enough space in front for the conductor to enter the details of his ticket issued as it was stage. When opposed 'the conductor uses abusive language in kannada. He says "I cannot help on all this, you guys needs to manage and co-operate with him for his dirty behavior".

I dont understand how he can speak to a women like this. I'm lodging the complaint on behalf of all the ladies in BUS.

Sir,
Today morning between Kamanahalli and Frazer Town, one BMTC driver driving Bus No. KA-01-F-4828 was violently moving the bus in all possible wrong directions (At Kammanhalli Main Road and later by violating the signal and lane discipline, overtook another bus near SBI Circle taking the bus towards Kulappa circle), opposite late and upon objecting was showing the attitude to the auto fellow in which I was commuting. It was alertness of the auto driver that saved us both else I would not be sitting in office writing this complaint. He literally made the bus stand in opposite lane near the circle in this enthusiasm to overtake another both. This is horrendous. In such heavy traffic, this may, God forbid, be cited as one off road accident but what happens to the loss of life ? The driver should be reprimanded not only for violating all the road traffic discipline but also for his shameless behavior which was totally guilt free.

I request you to take very very strict action against him and all such erring drivers.

Thanks.

I was travelling in BMTC bus number KA 50 F 103-201Q.

The conductor was behaving very rashly with the people.One girl took day pass and he started shoutin at her that she should sign the pass.Even he beated her on the head.The girl was about 18-19 years old and her mother was sitting in the next seat.I could see the insult feel in her face but she dint tel anything.
Tha same conductor did not give ticket to another girl of 3/5Rs.

It is really not acceptable,as I have been seeing such kind of molestation,especially towards women travellers.Many Women organisations raise therie voice for nonsense and silly things.They should Really do something about this.

BMTC organisation is not at all trust worthy to travel as they mis guide us regarding money,destinations.

BMTC is losing its name because of such kind o[censored]ntamed and misbehaviour,both in kannadiga's and non kannadiga's view.

I was till now greatful for the service provided by the organization.
But the rude behavior of some of the personnel of your organization has brought the dignity down as it happened to me when traveling by the BMTC bus.

Daily I travel to Yeshwanthpur from Seshadripuram(Central) stop and the bus fare charges me Rs.5/-. but when I was travelling on 16th June 2010 around 5:00 P.M through the same route, the bus conductor gave me the ticket fare charged Rs.10/-. when I questioned him, he behaved very rudely start abusing north indians and told that complaint anywhere, nothing is going to happen.
The Bus number 250 and the state register number is KA 01 F 3585.

This is going to happen to some one or the other everyday, but only some questions.
So I kindly request the concerned authority to take the action and so see to that this does not happen.

Also, I request to put the fare charge chart in the bus so that it may help the commutator the bus fares.

Waiting for the result as soon as possible.

With Thanks
Bishwajeet

According to the BMTC Volvo timetable, this bus (Volvo bus KA-01 F-4609) has to start at 8:00 AM from the Kalyani Magnum Tech park in JP Nagar. This incident happened on June 11, 2010. The driver started only at 8:15 AM. It took 45 minutes to cross the Silk Board signal which is less than 5 kms from the starting point. The driver unnecessarily kept stopping and waiting at bus stops wasting valuable time in the morning. I reached Kadabeesanahalli which is 16kms from the starting point after 1 hour and 30 minutes which a normal BMTC bus would take. There is no point in charging 3 times the bus fare and plying this way. BMTC should appoint officials to check whether drivers are following the bus timings properly. This request is not to increase the speed but start on time and stop wasting time waiting unnecessarily at bus stops when the bus is already overflowing. The driver and conductor refused to show their identity cards and snubbed me saying that they cannot reach earlier since traffic is at its peak in the mornings. They also asked me to go ahead and complain.

Hi,

I am travelling regularly from ITPL to Banashankari and do not find any volvo bus service in the morning time (before 7:30 AM) . Where as i could see a lot of vacant busses plying to Majestic quite frequently. can you please look into this matter and provide at least one volvo bus service to Banashankari / Vijayanagar from ITPL before 7:30 AM.

Thanks,
Subha

Hi,

On Sunday May 30, 2010 I was traveling in BMTC bus. I got in the bus from the FORUM MALL BUS STOP but the conductor charged me extra charge. The normal charge is Rs. 5 from FORUM MALL BUS STOP to LAKKASSANDRA. But just because I was speaking Hindi the conductor charged me Rs. 7. And the way he behaved with me was ridiculous.

There is so much discrimination for North Indian people in these BMTC buses and Government just does nothing.

The bus number in which I was traveling is K 01 F3298.

Please, if there is anyone reading this please take stern action against such bus conductors who are discriminating North Indian people.

Thanks

MOBILE NO. [protected].

On 09 Jan 2010 at 1030 hrs, I, Mrs Hemlata, resident of # 112 Netravati NGV Koramangala was travelling from Ejipura T Junction Bus Stop ( adjacent to ASC Land) to MG Road. There were only two ladies seated on first seat bench next to the ladies entry/ Exit door. I was only lady seated behind them on second seat bench; rest of the ladies part (front half) of the bus was empty.
Bus conductor of the ibid bus came to me gave a ticket for which I made payment opening my purse while the bus conductor was standing beside me. He, in all probability had a peep into my purse in the process. After giving the ticket, the conductor occupied the seat on my right on the same seat bench whereas there were vacant seats aplenty on the Gents' Rear Half of the bus. On my objection he got up and occupied a seat parallel to my seat bench,again in Ladies part of the bus.At next couple of stops a few more ladies boarded the bus but none sat beside or behind me till my MG Road Bus Stop (in front of Army Recruiting Headquarters).
While I prepared to alight from the bus almost 100m before the bus stop, bus conductor stood up and followed me from bebind and my purse hung on my right shoulder. There were 2-3 ladies in front of me but none behind me except the bus conductor. On checking my purse five minutes after in Bangalore Central to my horror I found Rs 2500/ which were there in the purse, missing.
In perspective of the circumstances I can say with reasonable confidence beyond doubt, that bus conductor of the bus I was travelling in, stole my money. May it therefore be requested to the MD BMTC to restore my stolen money and take appropriate action to obviate such incident from repeating.

Currently there is volvo service from banashankari to itpl & banashankari to hebbal. But both the busses will not go to mahadevpura & whitefield road. I mean to say, ITPL bus ll take right near big bazar & bebbal bus ll go in parallel to whitefield road. There are quite a few companies in dat road, HP, ABB etc. So pls do the needful & put some volvos in this route.

VOLVO fares for all the 500 series(ITPL- Silk board route) has recently increased by Rs 10. Inspite of these extra charges one has to pay the bus frequency for 500 series buses to Silk Board route has drastically decreased irrespective of the time (be it 5.30 PM, 6:00 PM or 6:30 PM) I had to wait atleast for 40min to 1hr for a bus.

To make matters worse the buses will stopa a few meteers away from the bus stop and keep waiting ( I never could understand the reason, all that I know is it just adds to the anxiety of already waiting passengers ) , and since the number of people waiting is always large they just chase the bus & rush inside the bus.

Sir,

I Mr. K Suneel Kumar a resident of Gujarat and employed in Indian Coast Guard (Ministry of Defence) visitng bangalore frequently on official purposes and travelled from Majestic to HAL Helicopter Division on 10 May 10 through BMTC bus service. The bus registration number is KA-01 FA 217 and departed Majestic (KBS) at 0815 hrs. I bough two tickets by tendering 102 INR to the conducotr (ticket nos. 298884 & 298885) and conductor promised to return the balance change of INR 80 while getting down. At the time of disembarking from the bus the conductor denied to give the balance and said the the amount was written by me. I asked to him to disclose his identity but he denied.

I made this complaint not for money but to enlight the authority how the staff of BMTC behaving with commuters.

Plse do the needful

thanking you

Suneel Kumse

I understand that BMTC has of late increased the rates of the volvo daily pass from Rs 75/- to Rs 80/-.
But the irony is, this is not put up in any form of a notice on the buses. Neither do the conductors inform the commuters about it in advance. Today i.e 3 may, 2010 when i asked for a pass, he charged me 80 but the ticket had only 75 printed on it. When i asked he was not ready to even accept his fault. And when i asked for a refund he was not even ready for that.

This is utter unprofessionalism and arrogance that these conductors in general show up. If bmtc is increasing the price, new tickets should also be printed. The least that is expected is that these buses have a notice being put on the buses or at least the conductors inform the passengers well in advance.

I have had many bad experiences in BMTC where in change is not been provided, ticket not been issued or such kind of arrogance being showed.

Please do the needful.
