Dear Sir,

Im writing this mail with a good intention & with respect to the safety of passengers traveling on KSRTC buses.

Highlights

Route - Bangalore to KGF

Division - Kolar

Bus No - KA 07 F 1209

Driver - Balakrishna - 47 (Confirmed by driver himself)

Conductor - Ramesh - 31628 (Confirmed by conductor himself)(Photo attached)

Time - 10.30 PM to 12.00 Noon

Date - 4th April Saturday.

Offence

1.Change of drivers on a running bus with 30 - 40 passengers on a highway

2.To check weather the conductor is in reality conductor cum driver as confirmed by the conductor himself (Ramesh).

3.Eating breakfast sitting on the engine beside the driver with conversation.

I boarded this bus at Hoskote around 10.40PM to Bangarapet, after issuing the tickets conductor put up his electronic machine in front of the driver & began to enter the driver area, but what really shocked was that the conductor sat on the driver seat slowly as the driver moved out on a RUNNING BUS, still no passenger questions these guys.

Driver came out had his breakfast sitting on the engine & both started discussions.

Then as the bus nearing kolar, Driver & conductor repeated the same action in the RUNNING CONDITION.

Suddenly when i asked why they are putting the life of around 30-40 passengers in danger & doing the circus on a RUNNING BUS, below are the answers I got from Balakrishna

1.We know what we are doing & who are you to ask us.

2.We know the safety regulations dont try to educate us.

3.This is our bus & we can do anything whatever we like.

4.We are not bothered by the Government & no one can dismiss us. etc etc

This is the kind of reaction on questioning.

My only request is to catch hold this people & punish them so that no one repeats this in the future.

Marking a copy to the Honorable Chief Minister & concerned people for information.

Attached

1.Ticket

2.Photo of Conductor.
