    Fare will be increased. There is no doubt. But it is better if you adverrtise in the paper, fare from one station to another in one bus. Say No.5l Pandit house to Ujjodi. No. 15 Nanthoor to Bendore well. No. 6 Valencia to Kulshekar. Thus all the route rates must be shown.
    People cannot undserstand the stage rate for every bus. Please do it without fail.
    Please publish the rates etc. for each bus in the Udayavani and Vijaya Karnataka.

    I really appreciate the number of buses we have from M'lor to Udupi/Karkala and the conditions of the buses. Every year in rainy season our roads will collapse. Busses as well as the passengers are the sufferers. Condition of the busses will go bad and passengers suffer from backpain. Govt. gives contract to local authorities, and these local contracters repair the roads for name sake. Y local Govt. cannot find permanent sollution for this? Y cant they make concrete road where road gets damaged in rainy season? Increasig bus fair is not only the sollution.

    Bus association can fight against bad road conditions with the help of general public. Bus fairs have been increasing dramastically. Middle and poor class people are the regular travellers in bus. If bus fair increase like this, the major portion of their expenditure will go for travelling only.

    None of the Political Leaders in Karnataka are looking at Mangalore (Kudla) at point of improvement as they look at Bangalore. Many of the politicians are either from or around/ near to Bangalore and grab posh land sites or flats/shops because it is called as IT City. Mangalore having Sea Port, International Airport, Good educational institutions, Good hospitals with highly qualified doctors and it is because of selfish politician’s negligence the infra structure has not been taken care at all. There is always one more reason that because of different parties in power at the center and at the state. I believe Mangalore is totally neglected if we thoroughly observe the high taxes, bad roads, sick bus stands and parking problems etc.

    The new bus stand at Pumpwell that has to become ready by now is become a shattered dream and no one knows exactly what is happening. The amount sanctioned for the betterment of inside roads/lanes are totally neglected/not utilized or fix deposited. The inside roads are so worst even to walk or travel by two wheeler or autos. The politicians and concerned authorities are after multiplying their own wealth(Bribes) and thus neglecting the welfare of the public who elected them. Just compare the high tax on registration of vehicles, petrol and diesel prices, Transportation cost and prices on other commodities in Karnataka and other states.

    The looted taxes by the politicians are reimbursed by this way from the public. It is still in question to know where all this looted wealth seized by the govt goes to.????? Is this amount can’t be used for a good purpose of the state itself. Recently the Police had collected a huge amount of wealth from the corrupted politicians and various scam’s etc. but may we know where this wealth is utilised ?. Reimburse the loss from this amount, why the public has to pay by way of high tax, high price etc. These politicians know hundreds of ways to cheat us and we are really unaware of this.

    What else you want when Karnataka allows ordinary Andhra Pradesh Reddy’s and Ramalu to rule Karnataka and ruin most of the wealth. This is the high time that we all the public should make a resolution to fight against these corrupted politicians bravely.

    It is such a shame to see people passing urine openly next to the Service Bus stand. Men pass urine without any shame in full view of all men and women passengers who arrive at the Bus stand. Why can't the authorities build proper toilets. This reminds me of the Mumbai railway tracks where people from nearby slum areas relieve themselves openly without any shame in the early hours of the morning when the Mangalore-Mumbai train passes and proceeds to the final railway station of Mumbai.

    There is no control on "Price Go Up." Only price goes up but no improvement in facility, or conditions of Bus or Traffic Rules or Service to the passangers etc etc...
    The concerned RTO should be strict in all the ways to Serve the Society. It should be Service Oriented. All the Drivers, Conductors, Cleaners or Agents should be properly educated, so that they can behave/manner well with the passangers

    Our Main bus stand is worst then Bihar bus stand. It looks not a single ministrer has visited bus stand to travel hence they feel tht ere is no necessity of proper infrastructure. It holds good even for main DIRTY VEGETABLE MARKET of great Mangalore. Worst then cow shed for those who care about hygiene.
