Bangalore calling - Increase frequency of Volvo buses and better control on timings
The Talibanization Of Northwest Pakistan: Music Banned On Buses
BANGALORE AND TERRORISM_A PERSPECTIVE
I am sorry to inform you that inspite of going for monthly volvo bus passes, Though Volvo has increase monthly pass fares, they are least bothered to see that their frequencies are well controlled. Many times, we see all of a sudden 3-4 buses coming altogether whenst you have been waiting for a single bus to come to your stop. During evening after 7pm - it is difficult to get a sinlge bus especially buses coming from Silkboard - though ordinary buses run quite regularly.
If we are paying for monthly pass don't we have a right to get the money's worth. Mind here, the difference of ordinary monthly fares and monthly pass is just 150 INR but when you are forced to ply ordinary buses - this amount of difference increases and we end up loosing money due to BMTC practices.
Resultant, every bus that comes is overcrowded because of this delay. Moreover, people are not in a position to leave one crowded bus and wait for the another to come.
I am forced to travel in ordinary buses. Recently, I am finding that BMTC has cut down on frequencies especially on the following routes: Old Airport to Marathahalli and Marathahalli to EcoSpace Drive daily to my office. Worst thing, I am not able to get a bus inspite of waiting for 20 mins especially in the evening. Even buses from Mayo Hall to Old Airport after 10pm is very difficult.
So, let us know are you going to put back the frequency level for Old Airport and Silkboard buses.
Hope some one is hearing it and this problem is immediately attended or else we would be forced to leave volvo aside and start using ordinary buses.
BMTC, please do something - passengers are increasing and the bus timings are not properly arranged. So, are you going to listen to our request.
