Bmtc — BMTC Ticket checkers charge for wrong reason & Misbehaved & Harassed.

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

Bus Route No : 500C Bus Route : ITPL To Banshankari Dated: 19.03.2015 Boarding point: Silk Board Destination point: Mico Layout My wife boarded the 500C bus from silk baord and the bus was jam packed, she got a seat at the back side.The conductor didnt came backside for collecting ticket. After crossing udipi garden she got up from her seat and searched for the conductor, having Rs 20 exactly ticket price in her hand. At that time the two gents ticket checker was there in the bus checking tickets. When my wife was about to pay money to the conductor for the ticket then the ticket checker asked her to pay fine of Rs 500 without any mistake of her.They dont let her take the ticket and started shouting why she didnt have ticket. The gents checker was so rude, misbehaved with my wife and even pulled her bag, they didn't hear to her as well.Though the commuters watched my wife was trying to take ticket and realised it was the mistake of conductor indeed supported her but it was all in vain. Ticket checking people ignored the voice of the commuter and asked her to pay the fine. They didn't allow her to get down from the bus at Mico Layout Bus stop and didn't stop the bus.Then she called me and started crying as she was helpless and no one was listening to her.After that I have to left office and chased the bus for 2-3 kms and rescued my wife giving Rs 500 without any receipt and after having a hot discussion with the ticket checker and conductor. It was not about Rs 500 to pay, but why we have to pay when we are not commiting any mistake. Its the duty of the conductors to visit inside the bus and collect the ticket. And the checkers didn't even undrstand whats the problem, they were corrupted and in a joint venture with conductors they are harassing travellers and looting them. And how come a gents checker pulled a lady?Ther should be a lady checker.I dont have the bus no. or the conductor and checker name, otherwise i have lodged a complaint against them. So I want BMTC to Inform all the conductors and checkers to do their duty properly then no one will suffer like this. And BMTC management should monitor the checkers also. Shame of BMTC!!!
