KSRTC commuters at Bengaluru’s 8th Mile allege that bus staff refuse to allow passengers travelling to Tumakuru, Sira, Hiriyur and Chitradurga to board, leaving them stranded for hours. Passengers claim the issue is particularly common after 6 pm. A woman recently waited 2.5 hours before blocking a KSRTC bus in frustration, prompting renewed demands for official action.
