BMTC
Not issuing ticket

Dear sirs,

My son (studying 10std) goes to tution every day with his cousin.

He takes a bus from Bilekahalli bus stop to Arekere gate. He pays 3 rs. his cousin also gives 3rs.

Conductors take total 5rs (together for both of us), they do not issue ticket.

My wife tells my son that he should demand ticket because if the TC comes he has to pay fine.

If my son demands ticket conductor refuses to issue ticket.

This is putting my son into unnecessary pressure everyday. I am sure this might be affecting a lot of children. I have seen this happening to 15-16 year old girl once, when a TC asked her to show the ticket conductor was saying that she has not bought the ticket, where as she had paid to the conductor and he had not issued ticket.

I am a Kannadiga brought up in Bombay. I have moved to B'lore in May. I tarvel in BMTC every day inspite of having a car. I have travelled in Bombay buses for 40 years. I have never come across a conductor taking money and not issuing ticket. Here in B'lore every time I get into the bus I see conductors doing this. Because of this government gets less money, they increase the fare, ultimately the commuter has to bear the burden.
