Everyday I take BMTC volvo bus (335E) to reach office near KTPO from Richmond Circle (from past 6 months). I always buy ticket for KTPO and the bus stops at KTPO cross road. Many people working for software companies nearby like GE, Genesys, L&T etc get down at this stop. There is also a board saying Bus Stop.
Today 04/03, I got into BMTC volvo bus, I requested ticket for KTPO. Conductor gave me the ticket for usual fair without saying anything.
At KTPO, I requested conductor to stop the bus. But he didn't stop and said there is no stop there and I should get down at the next stop (ITPL) or should have got down at the previous stop (iGATE).
I conveyed to conductor saying I have been traveling in this bus, 335E from past 6 months and I always get down at KTPO stop. He just replied that I need to get down in next stop.
Driver supported conductor and asked me to go back and check where there is stop board at KTPO. There were 3 other passengers who wanted to get down at KTPO.
If it was not a valid bus stop, why did conductor issue me ticket for that stop?
Why have all other buses giving stop at that point (335 and 500 series busses)?
Here are the bus details -
