Compilation of events seen and heard during my travel in Bmtc buses:-

Passenger:Magadi road ge hogthira?Driver: Ivathalla..nale hogthini

Conductor: Pass pass pass..yaradru fail iddira ticket tagolloke?

Some people who are born devoid of compassion and any common sense:A stylish aunty asks a small kid to vacate the sit and sits herself. Por kid had to stand with his heavy bag and lunch bag.

Man spits out of a bus ahead, the victim was a bike rider.
My bus driver says: En jana, nodikondu ugibeku.

Conductor to Driver: Ayyo hogi saar..jana hattisikondu duddu bandre,namage enu use...officer galu car bungalow tagotare aste.

A tense conductor to driver: Collectionse illa anna.enu madodu...tumba tension agtide

Discussion among a group of commuters:
Gulbaraga,bellary Andhrage kodona
Belgaum Maharahstrage
Kannadigas ella Anandrao circle hatra bayi badkollona.

The bus zipped past a red signal,coming in way of a car taking a right turn as per traffic rules.The bus driver shouts at him...and then later laughs with the co-passenger at his feat and says "Yi non karnataka vehicle drivers ge heege madbeku"

Regarding Cell-phone conversations:-Modalu ticket bagge helu amale fone nalli mathadu..

The bus is at Majestic. A girl gets a call from her mom. The girl says " Amma the bus is still in Jaynagar, I will be late"
Conductur: "Kivi nalli machine idre munche kividaru(deaf) antha idvi. Ivaga kivinalli machine idre enantha karibeku?"

Girls: Amc ?Conductor: Illa..Nahi..No...Later conductor says to driver: "Amc hoguthe andre,hattibittu bari English nalli mathadtare"

Not all bmtc drivers are nasty.:Cond'or to driver...Nidanakkanna makkalu ilithaiddare.

Man asks driver to open the door at a red signal..Driver says "Stop nalli iliri,illella door open madolla"
At the next red signal,a female asks "door open madthira,with a smile...driver opens gracefully with a smile back.."

A driver blasts the conductor for not asking the people to get down, few bad words are exchanged between them.Within a fraction of few seconds, the conductor patted the driver and said " Sorry anna, Tappayithu. We are good friends, so why should we fight?"
Both smile and start chatting.
PS:- Wish other mortals and self-proclaimed gods were there to learn from the driver-conductor duo.
