There is a frequent question on how to take cycles on KSRTC bus. Ofcourse it is quite a task to carry cycles on express and other service bus because they need to be loaded onto the roof of the bus. However its a breeze to put cycles into volvo bus. But a frequent question is what is the cost of transportation. Some conductors play traunt, charging bribe etc |

Kudos to KSRTC for age reduction - now decreased fare by 25% for senior citizens for 60 yrs from 65 earlier. But still in BMTC daily pass is still 50 for senior citizen even after having proof. They accept only BMTC id card. Why should we need one more card if we already have KSRTC id card /voter's id/govt id card ? |
