Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] — rs 10 coin not accepted

Address:

Bangalore, 560034

I was travelling from hsr layout to silk board in the 500 d bus on feb 25, 2020. Time: 9:45 am bus # ka57f0706. The fare was rs 10. When i gave rs 10 coin, the conductor did not accept the coin citing reasons that it will not be accepted by any other passenger. He started shouting and behaved rudely.

Rbi has repeatedly confirmed that rs 10 is a legal tender. I request the authorities at bmtc to take action against the conductor and make him aware of the legality of the currency.
