[Resolved] Bmtc — Misbehaviour by bus conductor

M Monica Tikoo from Bengaluru, Karnataka

Respected Sir, I am staying in Bangalore for almost 2 years now and often commute by BMTC buses however the experiences have been horrible always. It was heights this time and i thought of complaining with not much hope that some action would be taken. Today, me and my friend boarded BMTC bus (bus no KA 01 F-2167) from kagdaspura to MG Road. We took the ticket and sat on one of the seats. After some time the conductor came and stood near our seat and he repeated this several times (almost pouncing on us). My friend who was traveling with me generally asked him to move a little ahead as he was pouncing on us again and again.The conductor started shouting unnecessarily and started abusing us in Kannada. When we requested the conductor to speak in English or Hindi as we were unable to understand him. He started abusing us and continuously repeated that he wont speak in Hindi or English as this is Karnataka, I quote " NO HINDI/ENGLISH, THIS IS KARNATAKA... ONLY KANNADA". Even after listening to all this people standing there were asking us to keep quiet, as if we were at fault. The issue is conductor was shouting unnecessarily, he had no manners that he was talking to females. He was doing some vulgar actions while the language being used was kannada, which we could not make out meant what. Also, most of the conductors dont give change and they keep it with them and if you protest they start making faces and start murmuring something in kannada the moment they realize that you are not local to karnataka. Please do take some action against these people and please start treating outsiders as human beings too. Thanks & Regards Monica Tikoo Was this information helpful? No (0) Yes (0)

i agree that few conductors are rude, but even i faced the same problem in chennai being a telegu speaking, after that i learned tamil, bcos thts the respect we need to give the local people and lang and culture, being a rude on ur part and demanding that u deserve everything that u r a lady and behaving like residents of moon and mars will not fetch anything, i dont understand why conductor should speak hindi or english, being in blore for 2 years u should have learnt local lang na

correct me if i am wrong, this just a view as a rights of expression, critics, comments are most welcome

No action against the bus conductors, action should be taken against you for not speaking in Kannada. Being in Karnataka for two years its a shame that you not learn t the language. Mr. Rajesh I do agree with you and appreciate you valuable comments. What you said is right. Especially when it comes to these North Indians, they expect every one to speak in Hindi, what rott. They will never ever learn, I've seen many. Bull . As the saying goes be a Roman in Rome. Though I know Hindi and other languages I will never speak. We are in Karnataka and I will always speak and respect Kannada come what may...If you can't comply then you may get lost from this city.
