About 4 months ago, I was one of those passengers, shuttling in between the monotony and dreamy aspect of life, as I was a student there.I enjoyed those buses where lots of villagers would be, speaking in rustic kannada, and sometimes incomprehensible dialects of Hindi with all of their charms, goods and innocence….Every journey would introduce you different aspects of life… like hoards of suave, young, classy, elegant representatives of India, rubbing their shoulders with their counterparts, the illiterate, the sole breadwinners of their families, the people who migrated so magically from places which are so obscure….i found everything so interesting there…If you visit ShivajiNagar Busustand, you can see a huge chunk of Kannada passengers,which made me observe their peculiarities, their habits etc etc….nice article…it made me to think a lot…thank you…RKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141522393074773337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609529780490180146.post-7129838409788265252012-03-17T03:29:38.133+05:302012-03-17T03:29:38.133+05:30not really Nona :) you can make out some but none ...not really Nona :) you can make out some but none so clear...and also you're not considering the fact that all Telugu people might not be able read telugu :))Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985152186939344611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609529780490180146.post-4310444335991733382012-03-05T16:56:05.244+05:302012-03-05T16:56:05.244+05:30The noise is from the loud conversation on the pho...The noise is from the loud conversation on the phone mostly. :)Nonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13892851938328826870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609529780490180146.post-30078552250982180772012-03-05T16:55:08.929+05:302012-03-05T16:55:08.929+05:30Thank you.

I used to travel from yelahanka to vijaynagar for one month and the buses were very frequent. This site helped me a lot to get on proper buses. http://narasimhadatta.info/bmtc_query.html<br />It also helps to ask the conductor twice before getting on the bus (but if the conductor is in a bad mood, he'll dish out sarcasm but most of them are helpful and they even give a detailed account of bus routes and bus numbers near your area)<br />And I agree with Pranita, Basic Kannada is necessary but Hindi helps too :)Nehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895336357128654041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609529780490180146.post-91313538154144473742012-03-04T06:18:01.607+05:302012-03-04T06:18:01.607+05:30Hmm I've had this prob too, but kannada is a l...Hmm I've had this prob too, but kannada is a little like telugu so I never found it hard to understand..and some simple basic kannada words can get us the directions...so what did you find out after traveling via public transit :)Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985152186939344611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609529780490180146.post-42718602038813328502012-03-04T00:52:49.639+05:302012-03-04T00:52:49.639+05:30Bangalore buses are the assets of the city and you...Bangalore buses are the assets of the city and you can never face a problem here for not knowing the local language, most of the conductors are fluent in english and hindiArniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468209098332998858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609529780490180146.post-44297754301829391932012-03-03T20:34:28.800+05:302012-03-03T20:34:28.800+05:30LOL!
