Dear Sir:
Sub: Change of timings of bus route from Mysore to Somwarpet starting from Mysore at 5.45 am
We have been traveling to Somwarpet for the past 6 months, some of us from Mysore and others from Kushalnagar. There was previously, one bus starting at 8.00 am from Kushalnagar. The bus has been cancelled for reasons unknown. The bus to Subramanya via somwarpet, bisle starts from Mysore at 5.45 am and reaches Kushalnagar at 7.50. Till recently, the bus used to leave Kushalnagar at 8.30 am. The timings was convenient to both for people traveling from Mysore and others from Kushalnagar as the bus would reach Somwarpet at 9.15 am. For the past one week, the bus has been leaving Kushalnagar at 8.05 am and the official incharge is unable to give correct reasons for the sudden change of timings of the above bus. The next bus to Somwarpet is at 9.30 from Kushalnagar leaving a wide gap of nearly 1 1/2 hours. During this time, there are innumerable private buses running full. The reasons stated by the drivers and the official incharge in KSRTC is that, the collection in the above route if poor. If such is the case, why are the private buses thriving in the area at the cost of lack of public service during the peak hours? KSRTC being a public transport should provide service to the people at large keeping the peak hour considerations. There are quite a few officials from banks, taluk office, KEB, LIC, teachers and others who are put a lot of inconvenience due to lack of state buses in the route during this time.
In consideration of the reasons stated above, I request you Sir to kindly revert to the old timings of the bus starting from Kushalnagar or otherwise kindly delay the timings from 5.45 am to a later time.
With anticipation of your needful action,
Yours faithfully
