Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] Complaints & Reviews

This happened as I was coming from Jayadeva hospital check post to Himagiri Meadows(before gottigere) . I boarded a blue color bus going towards gottigere at 8.30 pm on today(Jan 31st). I have given the last 4 numbers of that bus.(F 4850) I did not notice the route no or no number was given. While I was getting down in Himagiri meadows I went to the front of the bus to get down. As I was getting down even before I could come out the bus the driver needlessly closed the door and my hand was stuck inside. Also he instead of opening the door started the bus and therefore I was in danger of grievious injury. Only when I and the co-passengers shouted did he opened the door and my hand was released. Because of the reckless and foolish action of this driver, I was in danger of great injury. This happend at 8.45pm at Himagiri meadows. The driver did not even apologize for that and casually took the bus. I want immediate action against this driver.

Sir,

This is regarding the ladies seat reservation.

The rule says that the seat has to be vacated by any male passenger sitting in ladies seat when there are any women pasengers. But this does not happen at all.

All most all seats are occupied by men, also they stand up till the driver making it very very difficult for the women passengers. Also few of the conductors do not support women in getting their seats.

Request you to look into the same.

Hi,

I am daily travelling from Vijaynagar to Whitefield by bus no. 500K & 333T. The route used by these buses are very lengthy & take moretime ( 2.5 Hrs for 500K & 2Hrs for 333T).
Why can't we have direct route White field --> Old Airport road --> Sule Circle -->Life style --> Corporaion Circle --> KR Market Fly Over --> mysore Road --> Vijay nagar.

This can save lot of time. This is opnion of several people who are travelling daily.

OR

Extend the buses going to Majestic to Chandra layout / Nagarabhavi ( Changing 335E to 333T).



Please look into this & do the needful.

Praveen

Hi,

I am not sure if this makes any sense for the government of Karnataka but BMTC should become more responsible and disciplined. Conductors and drivers should be resposible enough to perform there duties properly. Its the responsibility of conductor to make people aware of how to use the bus service, I was traveling in KA-01-F-2591 in the morning time when the bus is fully crowded and to my utter surprise I am seeing 2 male passengers sitting in ladies seats and commenting on gals and torturing, asked the conductor to tell them to get up from ladies seat but the fool conductor did not have the guts to tell them. This is really hopeless.
Like this India will never grow and people like these will dominate the women.

Not sure if any actions would be taken, but its my duty so I have done my part. Its ur duty to stop eating public money and do somethg for them.......

Thanks

I took BMTC's Volvo bus- 500K (KA 01 FA 1747) from Silk Board to Ecospace today.

On boarding the bus I asked the conductor for the ticket but did not have the EXACT change .I handed a Rs.100 note to the conductor and was appalled by his reaction.

He started shouting at me for not providing him the exact amount. I asked him to stop yelling and told him to issue me a ticket for the next stop instead to which he disagreed and continued with his rant.

We talk about training auto drivers on public conduct, I suggest we include in it these unruly and uncivilised hooligans calling themselves "conductors" so they learn how to talk to and behave with the passengers.

BMTC is currently providing good service across namma bengaluru. Even though the roads are not good due to Namma Metro project, the drivers are taking us home well with in time and with out any harm. But i feel sorry when i see new Jn nurm buses, because on these buses the BMTC has written there full form as Bangalore Metro.....etc.

The name of Bangalore has changed to Bengaluru, and it is beening effectively used all over namma bengaluru, but these govt. organisations are not using them. It hurts me a lot. The govt, organisations must implement these things and make sure that they use only bengaluru word all over the city.

Dear Sir,

We are regularly travel from Dairy Circle to Brigade road in route number G-4 – BIG-10 Buses and Koramangala to Brigade Road in G-2 – BIG-10 Buses. In these buses, behaviors of conductors are very rough. The problems we are regularly suffering in these buses are:
Conductors are not giving the tickets, he takes only money after that firstly he will say "give me chiller" though he has sufficient chiller. If we give chiller then he will not give tickets. If we don’t have chiller then we have to beg for our refund as well tickets. If we argue for tickets or refund then they are doing misbehave

Please do the needful as this regular practice.

Dear BMTC,

To day myself and my wife were traveling in BMTC from city market in route No 335, (KA 01 – FA 1087) from City Market at about 5 pm, while alighting at Murgeshpalya , the conductor and driver not bothered to monitor passenger getting down. My wife was fallen down, there was severe bruise.

The driver behavior was so strange, in stops like richmond circle, corporation the bus was not stop, even by stretching hand and requesting by public, they are not bothered.

Such Driver and conductor is nuisance to public, please save the public from the irresponsible staff.

Venkatesh

The BMTC conductors and the SQUAD seems to be playing a game to collect money. Today when my wife was coming from Domlur stop to the Marathalli stop, the conductor did not issue a ticket. On the next stop the squad got into the bus and charged fine worth of 100 Rs. when my wife protested telling that the conductor haven't issued the ticket and that the just got into the bus the Squad member did not issue a ticket, then also he did not listen. He told that either she will give the 100 Rs fine or he will drag her to the nearest police station. I have the receipt but I cannot type the details as every thing is written in Kannada and unfortunately I do not know Kannada. I feel its a way of extracting money from innocent people by the BMTC squad. BMTC please take some action. If any BMTC members want a copy of the receipt i can scan it and mail it to them. Hope some action will be taken, or else this forum is useless. These squad members do not know how to behave to the customer. Please recruit some good people. There are a lot of people without job in he place. Please use the resources.

This is regarding the bus route journey from Kalyan Nagar to Banneraghatta. Route Bus nos MBS8 and 412. There is no proper timing for the bus services in this route. The greater excuse for the BMTC is the Byappanahalli Railway Gate. Having that as the reason, no proper buses available for the commuters and it is daily problem.

Kindly request you to look into the problem and take care of the public specially during peak hours.

If you wait for the bus. always you can find the bus going on the otherside 2 or 3 together. This side people have to wait for either of the 3 whenever it comes. It is very very bad part of BMTC especially in this route.

Please take necessary action to solve this issue atleast during peak hours (School/College/office timings).

Thank you

Hi,

I would like to report a Hit and Run case against a Bangalore BMTC bus driver. On Friday, 27 Nov 2009, I was driving on Sheshadri Road at around 9 am when a BMTC bus hit my car from behind and broke my right-side lights and damaged my rear bumper. The bus route number was 211-H and bus registration number was KA-01-FA-327.

The driver refused to admit his fault and also refused to provide his name or show his driving license. He forced me to go back into my car and said go complain if you want, I will not provide my name / driving license details.

When I called up the BMTC office to register a complaint, they were not even interested in talking to me.

Due to this accident, I have incurred car repair expenses of approx. Rs. 4,000. How do I get compensated for this loss? Is this the kind of behaviour that the BMTC provides to the citizens of Bangalore?

Amit S.

Travelling back to Vidyaranyapura from Majestic is a pain between 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Volvo buses don't ply from majestic. Getting back from office even after having a Volvo pass becomes a waste. Request BMTC to increase the frequency from Majestic to Vidayaranyapura during this time.

i had same experiance from a BMTC bus conductor and driver today(03/12/2009)... i took ticket from new-horizon college to marthahally which is only 3rs journey, i didnt had change so i give 10rs. not only he didnt giv me 7rs balance but also he act like he is not hearing me, which leads to some scenes dere like he caught my shirt, one passenger tell something to release me, driver closed both the doors atlast he droped 1 stop after my actual stop.

there was hardly 6 or 7 mebers in the bus dat i travelled. the conductor in the bus didnt carry any cange to giv balance to passengeres. he is askin 2 get out from the bus if one have no balance. when i asked him why he didnt carry change he pointed to something which written in kannada later i understood its meaning is "give change".

i forgot to look conductor's name(he is dark, around 5ft6" hight, avg fat guy) & driver who have mis allignment of eyes, but i noted d bus number partialy which is KA-08-2815. a blue colour bus.

Hi to Every one,

My Name is Imran Khan and I work as an Engineer for an organization located in Domoluru and I stay in Jalahalli cross, My Cab pick up is at BEL circle I need to travel by BMTC bus daily from Jalahalli cross to catch my Cab in BEL circle I usually travel by 1.15Pm by BMTC bus but the problem is they stop in Jalahalli cross for more than 15 to 20 minutes till the next bus arrives at that time there will be an massive traffic jam.

Incidence happened on 03-DEC-2009:-
Today the 2 busses where standing at jalahalli cross for more than 20 minutes but they never moved I was getting late to my work thought of taking an Auto at the same time then an BMTC bus arrived at that stop numbered KA-01F-3369 Route number 270 (Shivaji Nagar –Jalahalli cross-BEL circle) I Asked conductor will it take time to move as I was not aware that he is moving now, he said that if you have urgency you can move in car or auto, I asked him why are you talking so rude in fact I addressed as sir but he was using singular to me still I got into bus because I was getting late while entering inside he was abusing me and my patients rate got lost and I said him that I am going to lodge a complaint against you and I will escalate the same to higher authority but the conductor started playing pranks in front of passengers using abusive words saying no one can pluck his hairs.

Is this the way an government servant behaves with the customers, where is the law and order gone don’t they have fear of higher authority they even don’t know to speak properly with the customers we come from pretty decent background so we keep quite without abusing but they cross the limits I request you to please take the necessary actions on him.

Thanking you,

Regards,
Imran Khan

Hello Sir,

Today I boarded 500k volvo bus near ECOSPACE bangalre at 5:30 pm.(Bus N0: KA01 - 4403)

The conductor was very rude and misbehaved with me.

He stabbed on my leg and try to push me with his hands , since I was standing near space near to Driver.He wanted to stand there.


This is really very disguisting.

Please take appropriate action on him.
Hope I will not see him in any of the volvo bus in bangalore.

Please stop harrasement against ladies travelling by bus.

Regards,
Kavita

Date :27/Nov/2009
Time 1:30pm
Location: Old airport Road ( between kempfort and Domlur)
BMTC red volvo bus : KA-01-FA-430


1. The bus was driven very rashly. The driver was treating the bus like a auto and trying to
dart in and out of lanes while overtaking all the samller vehicles on the road. I myself,
at one point while driving my car got very close to this bus and had to halt. The bus driver
kept on drving rashly as i followed the bus till Domlur, changing lanes rashly
every few meters.

2. The bus stopped in the middle of the road at Kodihalli bus-stop, even though there were
no other buses at that bus stop. This caused all other vehicles to halt and there was no
space to go forward.

3. Similarly Driver stopped suddenly at domlur flyover, which is not a desginated stop.

On 25th November 2009 BMTC bus route no. 294C (I could not note the vehicle no.) plying between Shivajinagar and Agara took right trun immediately after the railway overbridge near Clarence school at 11.15 am. The regular route is to go straight and touch Davis road along Richards park. I have noticed this happeninng in earlier occasions also inconveniencing passengers waiting in the bus stop abutting clarance school.

There is no complaint number with any of the BMTC crew!

Hi,

i was travelling in bus no. KA01/F3725(bus no 94D) on 21st November 2009 saturday between 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm which was plying from shivajinagar to yeshwanthpur.driver didnt stop the bus at Yeshwanthpur tollgate stop.when i asked the driver and conductor,the driver in particular started hurling abuses at me calling me "GANDU".I felt very insulted and hurt.Please take strict action against both the driver and conductor of the bus as their behavior towards customers is intolerable.

Also the driver drove the bus very rashly.in fact,he caused lot of inconvenience to other fellow two wheeler and four wheeler vehicles on the road.


Thanks,

I am a daily commuter in BMTC buses and I would like to bring this issue regarding a Bus Stop on Murphy Road near Ulsoor lake. There is a Bus stop just after Ulsoor lake signal(when coming from Taj Residency - after Gurudwara) but no buses stops over there. If you want to come to Murphy Road, Ulsoor in BMTC bus you have to either get down in Lido Mall bus stop and walk around 1.5 kms or get down near Adarsha theatre and walk back 1.2 kms which is very troublesome. I dont know the logical reason in having a well-built bus stop and not stopping any buses over there. There are so many BMTC buses which ply in that road every minute. I am sure there are many people who work in Millenia Towers and travel in BMTC buses everyday. They either go till Adarsha theatre and walk back 1.2 kms or if lucky get down in the Ulsoor lake signal with the courtesy of the BMTC bus drivers. It would be great and really helpful if buses stop on Murphy Road near Ulsoor lake.
