Respected Sir/Madam,
I boarded a BMTC bus from Kempe Gowda Bus stand at 5.15 am on September 7. Even before I got into the bus, I asked the conductor cum driver (Single person doing both, do not know his name) if the bus would travel to Cosmos Mall. He asked me to get into the bus (Not saying YES or NO). I gave him a FIFTY rupee note for the ticket. He gave me Rs.30 back without ticket. I asked him for the ticket. He said he will come back and give it. Five minutes later, the bus started. I went to him again to issue the ticket. He said the same thing again.
When the bus reached the Command Hospital (Maybe he misheard Cosmos Mall to be Command Hospital), he called me and asked me to get down. I told him that I was not getting down here. I was not interested in getting down. The bus reached Marathahalli Bridge, which was its last stop. I went to the conductor to ask him to give me the change and the ticket. He not only told me that there is no change, but also abused me when I asked him the ticket. He later returned 5 more rupees to me. I told him that I want a ticket for the fare that he collected. He not only refused to issue the ticket, but also asked me to 'get lost'. I told him that I would complain to the authorities. He replied to me saying 'Do whatever you want (In Kannada)'.
Earlier this conductor/driver had to return Rs.2/- to another man who was getting down at Murugeshpalya bus stop. But he said he did not have change. This man saw the change right in the box on the radiator. The conductor said that he requires the change and refused to give the man that change. The man got into a fight with this conductor. Both of them abused each other.
Also, this driver was involved in a race with another BMTC bus for almost 5 kms. He was driving crazily. This race started off at the Corporation Circle and ended near the Commnd hospital. They would have nearly killed a few people.
The number of the bus is 333. The registration number of the bus is KA 01 FA 38.
Please take the very strict action possible against this driver who drove between Majestic/Marathahalli bridge on this registration number on 7th September 09 between 5.15 and 6 am.
