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.

1.Ticket
2.Photo of Conductor.
