Daily encounter with BMTC buses

Bmtc buses are the most conveninet means of transport in bangalore... it's easily available anywhere in B'lore. It's very cheap as well...but i find it like a MILL where we enter as raw Wheat and come out as refined Flour...Jokes apart, it's indeed very true..moreover it carries people more than its capacity.so, it's almost like a situation where some people faint or vomit. You should be really strong enough to travel in a Bmtc bus..All kinds of people crawling around. and its become more difficult if you dont know the language. first thing, you will have to ask conductors or drivers for your destination. and they really get pissed off if you ask them about the destination and furiously answer in kannada...hmm... then next problem arises when conductor comes asking for tickets. he shoves and pushes you as if you are a commodity. and many,not all,are really rude. they will shout at you and treat you very badly. and if it's a kind of bus without any conductor then life becomes more miserable and more worse if you belong to female gender. The men out there will not let you get inside before them and they will shamelessly  occupy even the seats meant for ladies.
 Although, the bus transportation is really appreciable in B'lore as compared to other big cities, but there are few things which really needs to be worked out in order to make our journey more comfortable.
