Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] Complaints & Reviews

Hello,

Every day i travel by bmtc buses. On 19th March i travelled by BIG 10 (The new Air suspension BMTC bus), however i have few concerns here :-


1) Improper Fares : Intially i travelled in this bus and they donot charge more than 5 rupees, however this time the conductor told me that fare is Rs 8/-, i gave him a 20 rupee note, instead he gave me 10 rupee ticket and returned me 5 rupees. When i asked...

Dear Sir,
I am speaking on behalf of thousands and lakhs of women travelling in public transport buses everyday. Government has said that it would provide the basic amenities for women and that would include safe and comfortable travelling as well. Rules are not followed in the BMTC buses and for the elderly, most of the men violate rules of lending a seat to the elderly person in the bus. Men who are young and energetic would acquire...

I am a lady passenger travelling by 335E(7:30 am). We bought a ticket to Brigade tech park and the conductor issued a ticket also without any objection. When we asked the driver to stop he used harsh words. If there is no stop at BTP then why did the conductor issue a ticket? This is not the way a bus driver behaves with the passengers. This driver of volvo should be taught decency and politeness in their behavior with the passengers when...

Dear Sir,
My wife and I (Both Sr Ctzns) travelled by BMTC bus on 2nd mar 2009 by bus no KA 01 F 2044 from Kammanahalli to Shivajinagar, We boarde the bus at 5 pm at Kammanahalli and alighted at Shivaginagar at 5.30 pm. Eventhough we produced our voter ID cards the condutor refused to give the 25% concession. Further he was very rude
we complained to the Supervisor in the BMTC Enquiry office
I request you to educate all...

Absolutely correct.Many MNCs. How much harassment it is that they go in front o[censored]s 1/2 empty many times.The other problem is they dont even bother to change the board properly. one side shows the name of the company and the other side has the number of the bus like 356 or so. that causes lot of problem as we run till the bus to find that it is some X company's bus. why should we suffer so much? what is our mistake in all this?govt may...

Subject: Cheating of BMTC Department

Dear Sir,
This is to inform you that as we are the one of the college student, as very much well wishers of the government.
As we came to know about one of your driver cheated your department by providing duplicate education certificate to get job,...

I boarded the 300E, Bus Number KA-01-F-3501 at Tin Factory today, 23rd February @ 3.20 pm. As soon as i boarded the bus i received a call on my cell phone from a client. The conductor ( a man in his mid twenties) came to me and asked for the fare and i indicated to him to give me a minute. He then began to shake my shoulder, i ignored him and he went to the next row and attended to the passenger there. Turned around and again insisted that...

I have boarded Volvo buses (route # 333 & 500) from Brookfield to Majestic & Silkboard respectively. I noticed the driver had kept his window open all through the journey. The drive is not so smart by doing this, he not only burns more fuel (and thereby increasing running cost) he compromises the passenger's comfort of air and noise pollution. I pay a premium price for the ticket. The authorities should educate the Vajra drivers....

I am here to complaint on the driver & the conductor of Bus Route number 333c from Majestic to Basavanagar who were on duty for morning trip (blue bus 9am reached Basavanagar) to this area on[protected]. I am regular passenger of this route. we hardly have buses to this area and its so disgusting that this particular driver & conductor of this bus(333C Blue bus) don’t stop the bus at the bus stop. I am a passenger of route from...

Dear Sir

The BMTC has allowed Pushpak and daily passholders to travel in Suvarna buses from 5th February, thereby cheating the Suvarna pass holders for the month.
BMTC charged Rs 800/- for Suvarna passes from public, despite knowing that Pushpak pass holders would be allowed in Suvarna buses after 4 days.
BMTC has openly cheated public this way. It could have very well stopped issuing Suvarna passes for February....

I regularly commute from Marathahalli to BIAL by BIAS Route No. 6. Today (4/2/2009), I waived hand to stop the 6:00AM BIAS 6 bus but the bus did'nt stop. There was clear view between the bus and me. Reason seems to be utter disregard to my request by the bus driver and conductor. This has happened to one of my colleague also. As there will be someone like me to catch BIAS 6 to reach BIAL in order to attend different shift duties, I request...

I am speaking on behalf of thousands and lakhs of people who are traveling everyday in our public transport. BMTC buses are nowadays creating a havoc in our daily lives. Most of the MNC companies in Bangalore hire these public transport buses and have become troublesome during the peak hours.

Though the petrol rates have comparatively come down, the charges of the ticket in volvo, BMTC, pushpak and other buses are remaining...

Buses plying Banshankari-Banshankari 90% dont make the complete route, instead turn back at Attibele.
Remaining 10% take turn at sarjapura circle itself & not entering sarjapura bus stand.
Sir many students, daily wagers & many government officials are facing lots of problems due to this.
If we request conductor & driver misbehave with us.
I hope you will take need full action for this as soon as possible.br...

The ticket from mayo hall to marathahalli costs 11rs. Driver gave me only 9 rs ticket writing 1 at the back side of it. I realized he got that ticket back from a passenger to give him 1 rs change, but did not return the ticket. He reused the same ticket for me. He did the same with many of...

Respected Sir,

This is not the first forum where I am sending mail regarding the problem faced by commuters in BMTC, nor will this be last one. I have even called up the BMTC complain numbers but unheard. I am writing this mail on behalf of all the Bangalore commuters who travel by BMTC. I work in a reputed IT company. I am travelling from Madiwala to E-city from past 3 years. I have my own vehicle but still I travel by BMTC...

Dear Sir,

I am a regular user of BMTC buses. I have seen many times the conductors of the buses not giving tickets intentionally even if you force them to give the ticket. They usually take the amount which is less than 1 or 2 Rs than your ticket amount and instead they don't give you the ticket. If we force them to do so, they either give it after giving wierd gestures or they ask the passenger to leave the bus.
The...

Respected Sir,

I am staying in Bangalore for almost 2 years now and often commute by BMTC buses however the experiences have been horrible always.

It was heights this time and i thought of complaining with not much hope that some action would be taken.

Today, me and my friend boarded BMTC bus (bus no KA 01 F-2167) from kagdaspura to MG Road. We took the ticket and sat on one of the seats. After...
