You are Eligible for Free travel if No Ticket is Issued: More About This

August 27: Several attempts have been made by the members of the city bus owners association to make bus conductors give tickets to passengers travelling in city buses.  President of City Bus Owners Association Dilraj Alva said that several warnings have been issued to make it compulsory to provide printed tickets to the passengers, yet the rule is being ignored.
Dilraj Alva said that a new rule ‘Free travel if no ticket issued’ is being introduced. As per this rule,  the passengers can have a free ride if the conductor fails to give bus ticket from month of September.
This is an effort to make the conductors issue tickets to the passengers. This ‘Free travel if there is no ticket’ will begin from September month and will be implemented in 45 buses on an experimental basis.
This the system will first be introduced in the bus route no 27 between State Bank and Mangaladevi,  route no 13 bus between State Bank – Ullal and route no 5 bus plying between State Bank-Morgan’s Gate and later will implement in all the city buses.
The transport department has passed a rule according to which, all city buses must make use of electronic ticketing machine but the conductors of most of the city buses do not follow this rule. Inspite of orders from the city bus owners association to bus conductors strictly follow this rule, it is not being followed and therefore the association has come forward this new ‘Free travel if there is no ticket’ system.
