Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation — Bus Pass system - its rules and changes

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

This complaint is about the government bus operations (rules) and operators, in Bangalore City, Karnataka. Bus Pass system is to ensure a single person travel with one pass. However system makes it difficult and unnecessary demand to people make a identity card for monthly passes. When one have a driving license, voter id, adhaar card etc so many govt. identity cards along, there isn't any new identity card necessary for taking monthly passes. Secondly for daily passes, it been enforced commuters to sign on the passes. The sole concern should be a single person travels by a single pass. What does one ensure by asking a person so sign in a pass? Has this been not enough, there is now another stupidity going on, the conductor now forcing people to write important information as government id card number on passes. Why? My only fear is this will further push a innocent person into the risk and turmoils of criminal prosecution as one's pass being found in a crime scene would make a person suspect, whether or not he/she is in it?
