Regular City Transport Fare

There is no regularization of public transport (Government Bus) fare in the city. The Bus conductor apart from his behavior which usually ignored (considering the ways of conduct is taken for granted for people living from Bangalore), charges whatever comes to his mind. Here I am trying to exemplify about a day experience, which goes under the noses of State Government, by everytime, since either they are ignorant since majority is from outside and hence they will have money in hugh amount to strive or else for personal gain. Boarded from stoppage, everyday, for my distance Bus conductor charges, Rs 9/- to Rs 11/- irrespective of the distance or fare rules. Today I came around 5 kilometers away from (Graphite India), on the ITPL route and to my halt (Muneshwara temple or spice Garden) which should cost around Rs 8/- or lesser and got down, surprisingly, charged me Rs 10/-. To add more when I queried the conductor, his attitude was like 'Oh! that is the rule, don't you even know it! ' probably we can state that as his modesty, by the looks on his face. He duty was on 335H to HAL probably his last trip of the day.

The bus number was "KA 01/FA 353" and he was in his shift from KARUGODI to HAL at 9:00pm. The ticket he served me was of the series 'M62, 387833'. Hope I made the situation clear. But still believe will even lesser this will be ever get justified.

Sometimes, they would take regular amount and give you a ticket other times they would either take the regular amount or a little less and do not give you any ticket (if there is not TT on the section of the route). This has been so common, I hope one day they will pressurized as a rule.

A few while ago, the Government announced deduction in the fare but a fragile amount, was surely a eye-wash only to get votes from simple innocent people, only to increase 30% to 45% the next election is gone. No doubt, I happens only in India.

Thank you.
