A Karnataka minister, travelling incognito to review Bengaluru bus services, is reported to have been asked to get off a BMTC bus after he could not provide the exact fare. According to Deccan Chronicle and Mint, the minister—identified by Mint as Byrathi Suresh—conducts a surprise check of buses on Saturday while posing as a passenger. During the ride, the conductor notices that the minister does not have the exact change for the ticket fare and tells him to leave the bus. The incident is described as part of the minister’s effort to assess operating conditions and passenger experience on BMTC routes from within the bus, rather than through official channels. Both outlets present the episode as a case of a passenger being removed for fare-related reasons during an on-the-spot review. The reports focus on the conductor’s request to alight and the minister’s undercover approach, without providing additional details on any subsequent action or official response.
