Video shows student collecting fare, issuing tickets on KKRTC bus
The incident occurred on the bus that was on its way from the Kalaburagi City Bus Stand to Kalagi
A video has surfaced showing a student collecting fares and issuing tickets on a KKRTC bus on the Kalaburagi-Kalagi route. The footage, recorded by a passenger, has drawn attention to the incident. The student was performing the role of conductor while the regular conductor, Siddu Biradar, was absent. The bus was en route from the Kalaburagi City Bus Stand to Kalagi, which is where the bus is based.
This raises questions about the authority given to students to handle these responsibilities on public transport. The act of collecting fares and issuing tickets are duties reserved for authorized conductors. Allowing someone unauthorized to perform these duties could be seen as a serious breach of procedures and a lack of accountability within the corporation.
Passengers are demanding that KKRTC take action to investigate the incident and hold accountable those who permitted the student to assume the conductor’s duties. The incident echoes a similar criticism from last month when a video surfaced of a KKRTC driver using a mobile phone torch while driving. The latest incident has once again highlighted the need for stringent measures to ensure adherence to safety and operational procedures on KKRTC buses.
Passengers are urging the authorities to enforce the rules and ensure that all transport and safety regulations are followed meticulously.
