[Resolved]  Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation [BMTC] — volvo bus conductor not returning the change

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka, 560040

Dear sir,

Today on 12 december 2019 at 5 pm i travelled from emc (Near marathhalli) to tin factory. I travelled in 500d volvo bus.

Bus number ka 01 fa 1551

The conductor is somewhat middle aged (Around 40-45 maybe). Not bald headed, somewhat darker complexion. Has a moustache. No beard.

Driver is older.

I gave him rs.100. He asked me if i have any change. I didn't have it. He gave me rs.29 ticket. And returned rs. 10 at first. And wrote something on the ticket.

After that he gave ticket to a lady sitting behind and gave me another rs.10. He didn't strike out anything written in ticket as is customary once change is completely returned. He had to return another rs.50.

After my stop at tin factory came i asked him for remaining rs. 50.

He took the ticket and told me he has already returned the change. He claimed it is only rs. 10 written behind the ticket and he has already returned it.

I told him no, and explained him i have given him rs.100 which was a little old note. He refused to listen. And asked the driver to show me the rs. 50 i supposedly gave him for ticket (Instead of the actual rs.100). Driver showed me some old rs. 50 note.in fact i never even had that note.

Why would a conductor give money to driver in the middle of travel (Other than to create some sort of dubious and fake evidence)? Isn't it clear both are involved in stealing something from some helpless travellers.

After all, i can't really be expected to fight with them..

I suspect both these are stealing from travellers this way...

Ask him how much extra he and driver are making this way at the end of each day.
