[Resolved]  BMTC Volvo Bus — No stop at KTPO???

Everyday I take BMTC volvo bus (335E) to reach office near KTPO from Richmond Circle (from past 6 months). I always buy ticket for KTPO and the bus stops at KTPO cross road. Many people working for software companies nearby like GE, Genesys, L&T etc get down at this stop. There is also a board saying Bus Stop.

Today 04/03/2010, I got into BMTC volvo bus , I requested ticket for KTPO. Conductor gave me the ticket for usual fair without saying anything.
At KTPO, I requested conductor to stop the bus. But he didn't stop and said there is no stop there and I should get down at the next stop(ITPL) or should have got down at the previous stop(iGATE).
I conveyed to conductor saying I have been traveling in this bus, 335E from past 6 months and I always get down at KTPO stop. He just replied that I need to get down in next stop.
Driver supported conductor and asked me to go back and check where there is stop board at KTPO. There were 3 other passengers who wanted to get down at KTPO.

If it was not a valid bus stop, why did conductor issue me ticket for that stop?
Why have all other buses giving stop at that point (335 and 500 series busses)?

Here are the bus details -
Bus No : 335E (BNG Club to Sai Hospital)
251234-DC6107-V333R[protected]
Ticket No :[protected]:30 04/03/10

Request not to cause such inconvenience to frequent travelers. After all it is not a free trip or a fun ride. We use these buses for daily commutation.

I need to travel from sarjapur signal to ITPL. I normally get into bus from sarjapur signal Stop. Today, 09 Aug 2010 morning, 9.00 AM, i was waiting there for more than 10 min for bus. Once 500K bus came and, he did not stop at the same stop...He stopped at the start place of the flyover... Driver showed action to the people standing over thr that, he will stop bit front... Me and one more guy ran towards the bus.. He reached bit front of me, and got into bus. By the time, i reach near the bus, he left the bus. As i am a lady, i cannot run with that speed and energy... I felt very bad when the diver did this. Conductor, who was standing near the door, told the driver to stop, ..But, he did not.

This is really unfair. One more 500c was also coming. These two buses were in race.
See, .. if those people do like this, People like us are suffering. I missed tht 500c bus also, as it was just behind this bus.
Bus number is KA - 01 2015. Please behave properly to the people. We are also human being. As we are in road, and he sitting over driver seat, .. dont think that, he is top of everything.
Please behave properly to the normal people.

Sir,
We are the regular office passangers of volvo bus no. 411L which start usually from Dairy Circle and go to ITPL through Inner Ring Road. Only two buses in the office time is available, one at 7-15 A.M. and the other at 7-35A.M. from Dairy Circle. At least 10-15 passagers avail this bus from the terminus point at Dairy Circle. But very frequently (once or twice in a week) the buses are not available due to diversion to other route. Since in that particular route (starting from Dairy circle to ITPL) only two buses (411L) is available in the office time. No other alternate bus is available in this route. If the bus 411L not come to Dairy circle in the office time we face tremendous problem. Similarly, last bus start from ITPL at 4-30P.M. So, we would request you to increase the frequency of this bus (411L) in the morning time as well as in the evening time preferably at 5-15P.M. and 5-30 P.M. At the same time please take care about the availability of this bus in everyday at Dairy Circle in the office hours i.e. at 7-15 A.M. and 7-35 A.M. Please also ensure that under no circumstances this bus should not be diverted to other route.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully
