Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] Complaints & Reviews

I traveled from Electronics City to Koramangala by BMTC Bus# KA01-FA-1909 on Thursday evening and boarded at 06:45 PM. Until Madivala, the conductor never came to collect the ticket fare. In Madivala, he asks for Rs. 15 as fare and then asks to give only Rs. 10 but will not give the ticket stating that the "tickets are exhausted". Is this a Win-Win situation? This is how BMTC loses. In addition, imagine if a checker boards anywhere...

I am a regular passenger of Indiranagar to Diary Circle route. In this route very few 7D buses are running. Now a days we have to wait minimum 2 to 3 hours to get on 7D.

Hi,
I observed several times in BMTC buses, they are collecting extra money from the passengers and issue the ticket. Suppose, if the ticket charge is Rs.10, some conductors are asking for RS.11 or Rs.12 . As my last experience:- Usually, I am paying Rs.5 from ‘bansankari’ bus station to ‘devagoude petrol pump’. But, conductor collected Rs.7 from me at two different times. Since, they are issuing tickets, I...

BMTC Volvo buses have two doors and I understand one for exit and one for entry. It is difficult to exit from the entry door as we have to go in between seats and people. I request the authorities to consider opening exit door for all passengers to exit from comfortably.

I was traveling one bus from Electronic city to Double road bus stand and requested conductor to open the door. She started abusing. It is rediculous for...

Today at 4:15 PM I got into Bus route no 210N (Uttarahalli-KBS), at
Thyagarajanagar. I was supposed to go to Chamarajpet. The conductor told that the bus will not go via Chamrajpet, but it goes via National College and asked me to get down at Makkala Koota.

Hi there,

I had a think about whether I really have to put this down here under a forum. Then I thought may be this will help one of my fellow passengers one day.

I travel from Madivala (Aiyyapan Temple Bus Stop) to Shivaji Nagar everyday. I believe a lot of passengers commute in this route everyday, thanks to BMTC for their rewarding service of not providing enough buses in this route. How can I think of BMTC...

In most of the buses i travelled in Bangalore, the conductors will never return the change when i gave them excess amount for purchasing the ticket, eventough they had change with them, and in many other cases some people get in the bus n get down to the nearby stop by giving some 2-3 rupees to the conductor where they are supposed to pay 5-6 rupees...

Sir/Madam,

I can see almost every conductors are either not issuing the tickets or giving used tickets. I even complained at J.P nagar 6th Phase BMTC officer but he is not ready to hear my compalint at all. Every one knows about this. I request you to take action to stop such things....

The bus (#342) starting from Sarjapur destined towards St.John's Hospital, before reaching the destination, the bus driver & conductor asked everybody to get down at Madivala Market. When people asking for the reason since they paid ticket fare, bus conductor behaved rudely towards the passengers. I boarded the bus at Agara Junction at 12.45 pm and paid the ticket fare till St.John's Hospital.
