Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] Complaints & Reviews

bmtc buses - No tickets are giving .very very bad and cheating people or govenment.

Very difficult to get a solution.

The frequency of bus 171 is very less in the morning peak hour. The bus will be heavily crowded and there will be no chance for anyone to get in to the bus.

Dear sir / Madam,
This is Rajya lakshmi . Iam travelling Daily from basavanagudi to BTM. But the buses are not coming in proper timings. Actually for one hour we are standing in the bus stops. No buses are coming. No frequent buses in this route. Over the last few weeks, the bus-service has been very rare/irregular between 7:00 PM -9:30 PM which is the peak hour when people are trying to go back home.Request the BMTC to make this bus-service more frequent, at -least during peak ours since there are a lot of people who use this route. Even bus came to bus stop also they will not stop the bus. They will cross the bus which was already in buststop. If they are doing like this, then people what they have to do If they waited more than 1 hour. Please check regarding this.

Convenient buses to Sulthanpaly but invenient of conductors, Only drive will plays both the role driving as well as conductor.It really become a problem especially in morning sessions as people rushing to their work it was getting late everyday due dis inconvenince. Please arrange for the conductor atleast in Morning timings

Thanks
Pdas

Hi,

There was only one direct bus 500N which was going via Diary to ITPL. But from yesterday onwards, the bus route 500N was withdrawn.As there is no other direct bus in this route to ITPL, travelling becomes a headache.Please run the 500N buses, as these buses are the only alternative especially from areas like Koramangala.

Thanks,
SShetty

Please increase the frequency of 500n Buses

It is a real big trouble to we commuters who are dependant on this bus, 500N, to report to our daily work.
When there are so many people plying by this bus, d dont think it is a right move to cancel this service, especially on working days.
Request whoever concerned to restore this service.

Ya..
Now travelling become very tough for those who are depend on only these direct buses.

So Please run the 500N buses for koremangala and ITPL areas.


Thanks

Please please Continue 500N bus route. it will help lots of ppl

Thanks
Vikram

Tapan

Seriously we people are in trouble now, morning and evening we are depending this 500N only.. why they need to stop the service at this moment.

No Bus facilities from Katriguppe to ITPL

Hi,

There was only one direct bus 500K which was going via Diary to ITPL. But from last week onwards, the bus route 502 and MBS-24 was withdrawn.As there is no other direct bus in this route to ITPL, the people suffers a lot to go to ITPL.We need to change three buses.So kindly run the 500 ordinary bus in this route or add direct busses in this route.

It would be greatful if you could add 2 more bus between 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, especially like 502 and MBS-24, which will be helful for middlecalls peoples.

There is only one irregular bus from Jumbo Savari Dinne to Shivajinagar ie. route no. 415 (29) and the condition of the bus is not good. At times it remains for repairs resulting no bus on that time/day.

Request you to ply more good conditioned Jnnum Bus from Jumbo Savari Dinne leaving at 8 AM daily for Shivajinagar.

No Timesense
Hello

I'am Arun the bus no-271A, Depot-8, KA01-F-3104, has no time sense. They are not doing the trip regularly, they are missing the 2 trips daily, The bus goes from Abbigere at 9.00am to Majestic & come back at 12.00pm . I dont know that why only this bus take such time. They are very lasy, Before the contract vehicle
was good, but this govt vehicle is very slow .Please change the driver & conductor !

Bus # 340Q. From St.Johns hospital to Electronic city.
I was waiting for the bus since 8:20 to 10:A.M, but the bus din't turn up. They say there is bus for every 20mins. This wastes lot of my office timings. If this is the case going further, no one will be in a position to board public transport if they don't keep up the timings.

I totally agree, I work at white field, I have to change 3 buses (Whitfield to Marthahalli, Martha Halli to Hebbal and Hebbal to Yelahanka) to reduce the travel time.

Kindly consider changing the rute (hebbal...kr puram..Whitefield...ITPL).

Regards
Anil

I fully agree.

It will save lot of time and very convenient for every one. I am sure there will be lot of people who will start availing this facility.

If anyone has schedule of this bus please share & what is the fare?

Yes i agree with Deepthi...The route needs to be changed

yep. there has to be a bus to yelahanka from marathahalli.
Did anything happen to this request?

There should be a direct volvo from Vidyaranyapura to ITPL via Marathhalli bridge.

This comment is very much in the interest of the commuters. I don't think anyone would travel from Ylk to ITPL via majestic. BMTC should bring out some practical solutions & not make a mockery of itself by taking decisions like this.

Why is BMTC not listening to this ?

There should be volvo buses running between Vidyaranyapura to ITPB. It will help lots of people.

Vidyaranyapura -> BEL Circle -> Hebbal -> KR Puram -> ITPB

and/or

Vidyaranyapura -> Yelahanka -> Hebbal -> KR Puram -> ITPB

provide Volvo regular and frequent ervice to Yelahanka or allow Gold pass to Vayu Vajra atleast till Yelahanka

its been 2 years since the original post. is it any different now ? does metro cover this route atleast to let bmtc sleep on this forever

i was also works in itlp, dialy i was struggling to travel from yelahanka to itpl. It will be very helpful if 402T bus route change to ringroad instead of majestic.

Hello

Hi

On 31st March 2010, at about 13.45 to 14.00 Hrs I was waiting for bmtc bus at Bandi Reddy Circle Bus Stop (specified stop), Sriramapuram, B'lore-21. Bus route no. 83D (from Bandi Reddy Circle to City Market) had come and took U-turn of the circle before the specified stop, but did not stop at the specified stop. The driver did not stop the bus inspite of my request to stop the bus at the specified stop where I was standing. On seeing me he has driven the bus at top gear with a grim face. I immediately lodged a complaint with bmtc and the complaint no. is 1109 on 31/3/10 at about 13.45 to 14.00 Hrs. Basically there are less bus frequencies at Bandi Reddy Circle and commuters are facing lot of problem. I do not know the driver or conductor's name. I had to walk to Devaiah Park ( 2kms away) and waste my time and enery being senior citizen because of the irresponsible public servants. I request you to kindly take immediate action on the concerned immediately and there should not be any repetition of such misbehaviour by any public servants. They are meant to serve the public and not to harm the public. Hope you will initiate immediate action if not already taken on the irrresponsible... Thirumal

BMTC — Negligence of the driver

There are lots of pick pockers roaming in silk board area. I was a victim today. It was around 12 PM when I took a normal fare BMTC 356 to majestic from silkboard. in just 2 minutes my mom shouted that her handbag zips was open fully. I thought may be she didnt close it properly and suddenly realized that my handbag was of less weight. When I saw my handbag, it was open too and my purse was missing. I immediately complained to the driver but he didnt even mind to stop the bus. I begged him to check the men around me. But he simply said, how can I, better you?? How does he expect a girl to check the pockets of men? I commanded him to take the bus to police station but he said the next police station is only at wilson garden(thou later i came to know that there is station in madiwala itself, just 1 minute there. Not even one man in the bus was willing to help me. There was a man who even told he cannot stop the bus just because of me. All my screams were of no vain. I would have definitely got my purse back if the driver had taken action on time. it is because of the negligence of the driver that I lost a huge sum and also a lots of stress and panic which I would never forget again. BMTC is definitely answerable to this. I even get a feel that the driver has a share. After seeing that no one is going to help me I got down so that i can take the steps to lock my accounts. I found the madiwala station and have raised a complained. But the driver's and public's is really paining and unforgettable.

BMTC — Asked for more than original fare

I was traveling from ITI gate to Lido. I used to give 9Rs as fare. A lady conductor asked for 12Rs as fare. I argued with her telling that i am a regular traveler. But she was not convinced and asked to give 12Rs. I have given the amount and traveled. The bus number is KA01FA 1793. I think the bus was from KR Puram to Majestic. My ticket number is NG 19 501306. This complaint is not for getting my money back, to make these people more concerned about the customers( travelers)
Date of travel:[protected]
Time of Travel: 9:50 AM

BMTC Conductors — Asked for more than original fare

I was traveling from isolation hospital to Hosnat Hospital(stop after trinity circle). I used to give 5Rs as fare. But now a days most of the conducors give ticket fro the extended destination and take more money.I am a regular traveler on this road.
Today the same thing happened with me.
Here are the details
BMTC KBS depot -07
Tkt No 01298321 Time 08:38:54 28/01/09

And he took 7rs.
When I asked about the same the conductor said u should have told mayo hall; got down there and go where ever you want.I had to give the amount as i dont have any other choice.
Also conductors take the money and dont give the ticket also.
This thing is happening many times. I am fed of this.
This Has to stopped.

Please do the needfull.

I used to travel from ulsoor to 4th main NGEF Sadanandanagar & usually i was paying a busfare amount of Rs.5/- which is the correct bus-fare to that stage, but, today i.e., on 3/3/09 in MBS 10 Bus-route from Kuvempunagar - Channasandra, bus No.KA-01 2495 the conductor asked for bus fare of Rs.7/- for which i told him that it was too much & i was travelling at bus fare of Rs.5/-, the conductor of that bus told that for past 3yrs he is working in same route & issuing ticket of Rs.7/-, but i have not seen him once also & i told him that u r new to this route & u can ask anyone in the bus & the fare to that stage is 5/- only but he argued with me & asked me to get down in the next stop.

I request you to kindly look into this matter & pls. instruct the new conductors the charges of the fares to each stages & accept the same from the public passenger.

Muttu

I agree to this there no bus which goes thru' hebbal to Silkboard this will be beneficial for all commuters who are in ring road as well areas like Vidyaranyapura, Mathikere, BEL Cirle. We request you for this route.

Respected Sir,
I wanted to bring the very unfortunate fact about the behavior of conductor of a BMTC bus in your notice, so that corective mesures can be taken by you against the person who are making the BMTC bus ride a unsafe experience.

My wife has boarded a BMTC bus (KA 01 1109) today (8th July 2009) at around 12:10 PM from Seegehalli, Kadugodi (Janapriya Sai Darshan, Opposite to Shell Petrol Bunk) to go to Pragathi School, Kadugodi. She asked for a ticket for Pragathi School from conductor and purchased the ticket (A[protected] at Rs. 9/-. The conductor did not inform that the bus won't stop at Pragathi school and stopped the bus at Chansandra railway gate after the Kadugodi stop. When she complained about that to conductor and asked to stop, he mishaved with arrogant body language and voice. Finally he tried pull her by holding her hand and tried to slap her. My wife could save herself by shouting and holding his hand.

This is very scary event and makes the people think twice before boarding the BMTC bus because of this kind of wild behavior of the conductors.

Please do the needful.

Thanks
Shantanu

The minimum fare for BMTC bus is Rs. 3/-, but that is only upto 1.5 km. Can't say what the distance between Bellandur Gate and Sarjapur Road cross is.

Yes,
i do agree with that.
Take this scenario : When you travel from Tinfactory(udayanagar) to Ramamoorthy Signal. The usual bus fare is 3Rs.
but no one takes 3Rs. They always charge for KRPuram to Warma Road :Rs 5.

If the ticket fare is Rs3.They wont give ticket, unless we ask that voluntaryly.
