Buses must issue tickets

Most BRTC and private buses in the city do not issue tickets these days. Many passengers argue with bus conductors that it is their right to have a ticket as proof of fare payment. Apparently it has become a practice not to issue tickets for reasons best known to the bus owners. Some passengers are even charged for the same fare several times, as it is not possible for bus conductors to remember every face. 

The concerned authorities are requested to look into the matter and make tickets mandatory in order to prevent disputes over whether fare has been paid or not.
