Bmtc — Very Harsh behaviour of Bus Conductor

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

This complaint is against bus conductor Route no 352 ( Electronic City to KR Market ) Bus no: KA 01 F 4818. Incident happen between 20.35Hrs - 20.50Hrs on 20.05.2015 I was travelling in a bus where I found that one man ( who was not a bangalorean ) got on the above bus at the mentioned time and sit on the empty sit just near the driver seat whereas the conductor was then asking for ticket to other passengers. When he saw that man who was also carrying some stuff in hand and was sitting there. the conductor came and very harshly and abusive way asked him to get up. The man doesn't know the local language but can very well understand the way the conductor said to him. He asked the conductor to mind his tongue and asked politely but the conductor got hyper and started shouting him in kannada and said how can you sit in my sit, still the man said that you speak properly or else I will go to police and no where it is mentioned that it is your sit and you first behave your self. This make the conductor every more angry and called other passenger and asked them to forcefully push the that man out of the bus. Even the conductor did not let the driver stop the bus at the place where he suppose to get off and in turn drop him near Nimhans. This poor man do not know what to do and finally he got down. The conductor then started murmuring and discussing with other passenger, feeling that he did a great job. The conductor was saying, this people from other state coming and increasing burden for our city. I was there and was watching how can the conductor be so harsh. I am also not from this state and what if the same incident happen to me or my family in this unknown city. Is this the way outsider should be treated here in this city. We do not have respect and self esteem. How bad I felt. There is no humanity left. Not only this there are instances where conductor behaved very badly. So I decided I should atleast raise my voice this time. Hope some action will be taken on such conductors and some mannerism classes to be conducted for and on such people. Hope this step will help stopping such harsh act to happen again on any people be it local kannadisan or anybody from other part of the nation. Thank you SRH.
