[Resolved]  BMTC, Bangalore — Rash driving by local bus drivers.

sir/madam

I boarded on saturday bus route no-314 near Bangalore central stop. The driver was driving the bus very rashly and due to his mistake the bus collided with a truck just passing by and whole of the window was broken and came whole on me and one of my friend due to which we suffered minor cuts but this would have been even worse and nobody took an account of this , the driver nor the conductor apologised or so and started driving again in the same way . I think they are used to it as they didn't even talk properly to the passengers . So kindly look into it .
The bus no was --> KA-01-F-3867
TIME OF BOARDING ---->> Around 5 in the evening ,Near bangalore central to Kaggadasapura.

Thanks.

Sub: Regarding a misconduct by a conductor
Ref: Bus KA-01 F 2167; Route No 341

As I spoke to you this morning, conductor of the bus (Kaggadasapura -
Shivajinagar, around 11.30 am) denied to give me ticket at the first
and showed his rude behaviour for demanding ticket.
I along with my friend boarded the bus in Ulsoor. I gave the conductor
10 rs note, asking for two tickets to MG Road. As I have been
travelling on the route for more than a year, I know price per seat is
Rs 5. I was not expecting him change, but tickets. Instead of tickets
he gave Rs 4 back. I demanded tickets. "Adyake bidri. Ticket adre Rs
10 agatte" (Why tickets? If you want ticket it fetches you Rs 10), he
said.
I said it was his duty to issue tickets. He has been assigned to do
that job. He gave the tickets. But continued to argue. "Neevenu
Satyaharishchandrana mommaga. Muccho bayi" (Are you grandson of
Satyaharishchandra. Shut your mouth).. these were the words he used. I
was stunned. At the first place he attempted to cheat the company
which has employed him. On top of it he is shouting at me, for asking
my ticket, which is my right.
Annoyed by his behaviour, I decided to bring this to your kind notice.
Do the needful. Let me tell you one thing. Every other day I encounter
with such conductors in BMTC. Kindly strengthen your ticket checking
system so that BMTC get its due profit and put less burden on the
public.

Thanks

I completely agree with the extremely pathetic service standards maintained by BMTC. They must be brought to book n made to pay for all the grevience caused to innumerable commuters. this is a call to all the people who suffer at the hands of Bmtc to register their complaints against this organisation.
dear sir,

This incident happened today [16-10-08] at 7:30 pm when i was just about to get down from the bus [201R VOLVO, COMING FROM CV Raman Nagar] at BTM Layout bus stop.Suddenly A police inspector in the bus itself started asking for thr ticket and he was not allowing me to get down from the bus in my destination place. I told him to give me some time so that i can search the ticket as because for a lady passenger its quite difficult to search the ticket in a standing position. But whitout listing to me he did'nt allow me to get down from the bus and started doing bad behaviour with me.He insulted me in front of every passenger and threatned me to take me to the police station. He harrassed me a lot which really shamefull for BMTC AUTHORITY.At last when i was able to show the ticket in running bus, it was 4-5 KM far away from my place.
From there i had to come back by walk. So its really putting a very bad impression about the BMTC and also the BMTC inspector
was not enough educated to talk in english .

this kind of inspectors are socially poluted and harmfull for the passengers. Being a professional, As per my knowledge says that for only because of our money this VOLVO services are running but we are getting harrasssed and my dignity says to put a police complaint against the BTMC inspector.

Take action against the inspector or i will be compelled to lodge a poice complaint as i am not going to leave that unsocialized person.

BMTC Bangalore — Rash driving

BMTC bus nos KA01 F3233, route nos 205A travelling to Banashankari
Date: 15th March 2009 at approximate 5:30 ~ 6:00 PM

I was drining my car on the right side of the lane, as I was approaching the Silk Board Bus stop. The BMTC coming from Madivala side overtook from leftside very close to my car, came on to the right lane and then parked the bus on the Middle of the road at Silk board bustop. I overtook the standing bus and moving at a constant speed in the middle lane towards BTM layout, he started blowing horn & trying to overtake from left once & then trying from right right. On approaching the BTM Bustand signal I had put the left indicator to take the left turn towards Bannerghatta connecting road, the BMTC bus once again over took me from left side very close to my car (with inches gap) and took a sharp lane change to right. Then he stopped the bus in the middle of the road and started showing waque hand signals to me.

I had met the inspection officer at Banashankari Bust stand, he suggested to give a complaint to Chief Traffic Manager, Shantinagar, Bangalore.

Request concern officers & departments to take action against such ruthless drivers. Life of people on the road are at the mercy of Bus drivers. They can commit any mistakes & problems by such attitude and there is not action taken.

People get wild only when public life is lost due to such driving. Request proper punishment to be given to such impatient & ruthless drivers "Prevention is always better, Cry after Accidents happen"
Sir/madam,

I am residing in Tubarahalli, Whitefied main road and I would like to bring to your notice that the bus no KA-09 FA 803 when stopped at Tubarahalli on 17Mar09 at 9:10am came via maratahalli didnt given time for me to step into the bus when someone was stepping into the bus and scolded me rudely to step in to bus fastly telling this is not my own car, so I fighted with him telling this bus is for public service, and when someone is stepping into the bus on 1st step how can I step into the bus. And he was driving rashly in that whitefield main road, may be out of speed limit, so all people who were standing in the bus were falling down.
Kindly look into the issue.
In hegde nagar all the bus are not arriving on time & they dont stop in bus stand, they allow private buses to stop there all the public & school students are standing in the road.

when school students are waiting for the buses they are not arriving on time they wait 290 E bus to cross because all the students are having passes & they dont take the buses until the school students vanish from there.

They also wait the Private BUSES to move,

I kindly Request BMTC to kindly take the immediate action against this query

regards
Shalini.
I boarded a bus no.K01 - FA-683 around 8:30am from Silk Board to Tin Factory. The bus route was till Hebbal. I got seat in bus. At around 8:45 am, the bus was passing from BDA Complex road and there was big hump on the road to controll speed of vehicle but the rash driver did not controll the vehicle and drove the vehilce at very high speed on this hump. This resulted for high jumping to bus and injuries to many persons and i was also one of them to get injured. Immediatly after that my mobile was missing from my upper pocket of shirt and also my watch was missing from hand and i told this to conductor. After searching bus thouroly i got my mobile below to two next seats and my watch was still missing. Further i and others who were victims of injuries told conductor to tell to driver to drive properly as we all could not get access to talk to driver because bus had little rush in it. The conductor responded back that his work is only to give ticket and not to advise driver's vehicle so he can not tell anything to driver. I had lost my watch in this bus and this was RADO watch which had given as gift by company to me. I want to give complaint about this and i want my RADO watch to recover from the bus driver. Further on route till Tin Factory there are lots of humps but driver was still driving rashly on humps and also was involved in Racing with other buses in route to overtake them. Please look into my request as soon as possible. If any other collegues who have had this kind of experience and dealed with it means are highly appreciated to write to me. I tried calling the number 12667 but it needs call from only BSNL land lines so could not contact them.
thanks

Dear Sir,

I commute every day by bmtc bus to my place of work. It is only the volvo buses which actually give us a stop at request stops without much hassle (which comes at avery expensive price of Rs.30/- per trip). Rest of the drivers simply think that we are a nuisance. There is a request stop at ASC Centre & College opposite to Command Hospital. Initially when the request stop was incorporated, your officials came there for a week to inform the drivers to give a stop at that point and also informed us that all the depots have been given circulars about the stop. The request stop is sought only in the morning during office hours. In the afternoon nobody even stand at that point, because it will be a never ending wait. Your department has the most number of buses in the country and well connected, but what is point if they are not user friendly. Buses are meant for our convenience, but they actually are inconveniencing us by stopping more than a km away from the point where u want to get off, especially when we are in a hurry to reach our offices in time. What annoys the most is that, all the buses coming from Kundalahalli side give stop at Marathahalli bridge and then after crossing the signal/road again gives a stop which is hardly a distance of 100 ft and then at Kormangala - Indiranagar junction, even though there is no official stop, all buses stop. I have no problem if they stop there or else where, but then they are duty bound to give me a stop at an official request stop where a BMTC board hangs. At regular intervals we have started even commuting by cabs of pvt concerns and have been avoiding BMTC buses. Besides the request stop, buses in the afternoon do not stop at Command Hospital bus stop even if we wave out our hands. I

I am writing this complaint, but I am not sure if it would be read even, because status quo is maintained even after many complaints were made on your BMTC helpline.
Mini bus nos KA01 7821, Location: Rajaji Nagar IInd block. near signal

Hi

Today morning i was just escaped by rash driving by BMTC VOLVO bus number KA 01 FA 1811. He was so fast at turnings and inspite of that he was shouting at me...I was just 1 feet right from my earlier position and bus was so fast in turning that it almost hit me.

Please take the necessary action of the rash bus driving from BMTC who are supposed to service general public.

Thanks

Private local buses in Bangalore — Cheating by local buses

Hello Sir/Madam,

Last saturday, on 11th July, Me and my friend had to travel from domlur to kundalahalli colony. Thats when a private bus, numbered KA 01B 4951 came by. I asked the conductor not once, not twice, but three times if the bus would be going to Kundalahalli colony. He said yes, emphatically, and we boarded the bus. Guess what, the bus dropped me off at kundalahalli gate(which is a good 2.5 kms from where he said the bus would be going). The conductor said that the bus would be travelling straight on to whitefield, instead of taking a left. When i demanded an explanation, he put 4 rs in my hand and said he could not do anything as the driver has decided to drive that way. I was forced to get down there.

This had happened to me before too, which is why i verified thrice with the conductor this time before boarding. When i took down the bus registration number, the bus helper asked me to go ahead and complain, that I couldnt do anything. Talk about guts!!!


Since the bus was a private carrier, there is no authority governing them (like say BMTC). Which is why we are not even sure where to complain against them. These guys think they can do anything and get away with it, just to earn the extra bucks. I am not even sure if they are authorised to run these buses.

As the consumer forum, please help me out(and, i am sure, others like me), to take necessary action.

Thanks
