Bangalore BMTC Bus Complaint JnNURM funds, Empty TTMCs, loss due to non-recovery of rent, decades old buses on road
Quote: Source: Deccan Chronicle 27/7/09 BMTC Passes off concessions to Volvo users
'BMTC officials are promoting the loss making Volvo buses at the cost of ordinary buses. It is disgusting. The Government should come out with a clear policy on the issue' - Member, BMTC Commuters Forum
'As the Corporation is finding it tough to increase the occupancy rate of Volvo buses, we have come out with this new fare chart. We are offering two and three month validity bus passes exclusively for Volvo commuters at competitive prices to encourage them to use these buses' - Traffic Consultant - BMTC
Reduced Volvo gold passes rates with huge reductions (14 to 25%)
- Monthly Rs.1500 (old Rs.1750)
- 2 months validity: Rs.2800/-
- 3 months validity Rs.3900/-
- TWO WEEKS AGO BMTC had hiked bus fares and pass rates for ordinary buses citing a rise in the prices of diesel.

but KSRTC's bottom itself is neglected
How are you claiming they have been neglected? Just because you think so? Where are your numbers for proving neglect?

Hi ,
I second your opinion Mr Vasanth. I have been thinking on the same lines. We have to explore how is it lucrative for BMTC to run VOLVOS.....may be its the ordering process of these so called hi tech ones are money making machines for 'OUR' babus.

The Deccan Chronicle report quotes Mr. Sharat Gowda of BMTC Commuters Forum.
Does anyone know this Forum or Mr. Sharat Gowda?
My attempts thro Deccan Chronocle reporter and BMTC are of no avail.
Even Google search does not help.

Let us stick to KSRTC/BMTC and its failure to provide reasonable, comfortable road travel infrastructure to the aam aadmi (albeit II class - waiting list) - XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
