Hi,
It is such a dismay to travel in KSRTC and BMTC buses these days , I think the system's corruption level has reached its heights.Something needs to be done to handle this, dont know whether the transport minister is doing anything to handle this.
I am a regular commuter of KSRTC and BMTC buses. I commute to and from my office which is in binnamangala, i have been facing problems with the bus conductors in terms of their behavior and the fraud they do to the commuters. I have had a tit wid one of them very recently on this. He almost became violent.Today again such incident happened.
I boarded the bus from Benninganahalli , asked for the ticket, the driver(who is also the conductor) gave me an already used ticket(identified because it was already torn). I refused to take that and then after lot of arguments he gave me another ticket,he wrote the balance on it.How can he give an already used ticket ?
To my fortune i noted down the ticket number , because i knew he is going to do some foul play later.
And there it is , after getting down from the bus, the ticket i got from the driver which he gave me with the balance was a different one.What is this happening, they are corrupt to such extend that for 1 or 2 rupees they will sell their moral values ?? They are not better than the beggars on the street.

Please note down the bus no and other details

Bus number : KA-01 FA-187
Ticket Which was alloted to me before : G100 738305
Ticket which he changed while returning me the balance(The fraud) : G100 738301
Date of travel : 23/11/2009
Place of Boarding : Benninganahalli
Place of Drop : Binnamangala


I firmly believe that if each citizen does his or her bit, we surely can make a difference, i am doing it here.Please the system also needs to respond and do its bit.
