Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] — buses prefer going over flyover rather than stop at bus stops under the flyover

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka, 560103

Dear sir,
I have been taking the bus from the orr-kaggadaspura junction towards marathahalli. Since the last few months, all passengers find it difficult to use the buses for this stop and even for the emc stop, since buses (500d, 500n etc) on this route (Both volvo and non-volvo buses) prefer to go over the flyovers rather than stop for commuters wanting to get down at the emc, or kaggadaspura junction stop. There is even a hand written sign at the kaggadaspura-orr junction, saying the bus stop has moved to the end of the flyover - for the convenience of buses, and inconvenience of commuters.

What is the point of priority lanes for buses - if buses care more about speed and punctuality, rather than the basic service of picking up/dropping commuters at bus stops.

Request you to please look into this at the earliest and rectify the situation. Buses should not be using the flyover at all, specially if they have a stop below the flyover.
