[Resolved]  Bmtc — Conductor misbehaviour

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

I know that the conductors are provided license after a series of tests and they are taught some rules about their behavior towards the passenger and also some of the rules that the passengers need to abide when boarding their bus.
I travelled in the BMTC bus 500L no. KA 01 F-2800 on[protected] at 12.00 noon from BTM layout to Mahadevapura. When I boarded the bus (It was the long bus or double bus) I saw that all gents have occupied the ladies seat and some are even standing to the front side of the bus relaxing on the seats where some girls were sitting, making the girls very uncomfortable. Although there was much space on the back side where gents seats are provided. I was the only lady standing and the conductor demanded the bus fare, i asked him to provide me a seat, but he rashly asked me about my destination, thrust the ticket and went away to the rear end of the bus. He did not take any interest in telling any of the boys to get up and vacate the ladies seat. I finally approached a boy and told him to give me the seat. After i got the seat i observed that the boy stood beside me and purposely faced his back towards my shoulder thus making me uncomfortable by putting his body weight on me. The conductor did not mind any of these things even when after a while two girls were standing while gents where comfortable on the ladies seats. When the same condition is followed by the private buses who treat passengers as a herd by pushing and shouting at them I feel atleast the BMTC should follow the proper method of public service.
