Dear Sir,
Im writing this mail with a good intention & with respect to the safety of passengers traveling on KSRTC buses.
Highlights
Route - Bangalore to KGF
Division - Kolar
Bus No - KA 07 F 1209
Driver - Balakrishna - 47 ( Confirmed by driver himself)
Conductor - Ramesh - 31628 ( Confirmed by conductor himself)(Photo attached)
Time - 10.30 PM to 12.00 Noon
Date - 4th April 2009, Saturday.
Offence
1.Change of drivers on a running bus with 30 - 40 passengers on a highway
2.To check weather the conductor is in reality conductor cum driver as confirmed by the conductor himself(Ramesh).
3.Eating breakfast sitting on the engine beside the driver with conversation.
I boarded this bus at Hoskote around 10.40PM to Bangarapet, after issuing the tickets conductor put up his electronic machine in front of the driver & began to enter the driver area, but what really shocked was that the conductor sat on the driver seat slowly as the driver moved out on a RUNNING BUS, still no passenger questions these guys.
Driver came out had his breakfast sitting on the engine & both started discussions.
Then as the bus nearing kolar, Driver & conductor repeated the same action in the RUNNING CONDITION.
Suddenly when i asked why they are putting the life of around 30-40 passengers in danger & doing the circus on a RUNNING BUS, below are the answers I got from Balakrishna
1.We know what we are doing & who are you to ask us.
2.We know the safety regulations dont try to educate us.
3.This is our bus & we can do anything whatever we like.
4.We are not bothered by the Government & no one can dismiss us. etc etc
This is the kind of reaction on questioning.
My only request is to catch hold this people & punish them so that no one repeats this in the future.
Marking a copy to the Honorable Chief Minister & concerned people for information.
Attached
1.Ticket
2.Photo of Conductor.

Complaint marked as Resolved
I traveled from Bangalore to trissur in this month.The journey was not at all comfortable as the bus did not stop anywhere for refreshments.The driver and the conductor are in the front cabin and they just stop the bus whenever they feel like, without even telling the passengers that they can use the toilet service outside.It is not done as we are paying the bus fare of 432/- and are getting a 3rd class service.At least there should be a 10 minutes halt in between the trip as there are women and elder's who travel along with us.Adding to this in an A/C bus the A/C should be ON, but they switched it off when all were sleeping.Thinking that no one is aware of this.
I urge the higher authorities to take action and make sure this type of behavior is not repeated.
Thanking you,
Amal
