How to make a bus pass
Answers
Answer:
BMTC issues a variety of monthly passes for regular travellers on the public bus system in the city. This is to make the travel experience a lot simpler and cheaper as the monthly passes ensure that people travel at a discounted price. There are also special student passes that are issued at highly concessional rates. Recently BMTC also introduced a pass that allows bus as well as Metro Rail travel.
Pre-process requirements:
1. Valid Government recognised ID : Pan card, DL, Voters ID, Passport & Govt Employee ID
2. For the Student Concessional Pass:
- Submit an application duly filled and attested by the Head of the Educational Institutions along with the tuition fee receipt.
- From-To destination and change over place to be mentioned legibly/clearly.
- Production of tuition fee receipt for the current year for verification at the fee remittance counter is a must.
- A production of an ID card issued by the Education Institution is necessary.
- Prescribed fee accepted only in cash. DD/Cheques are not accepted.
- The above formalities need to be completed even at the time of renewal of 5 months passes.

Answer:
By using public transportation, you can save on commuting costs and help the environment. If you take the bus regularly, it is probably a good idea to buy a monthly bus pass. Each city, town, and county administers their bus system a little differently. However, you can usually buy bus passes at transit terminals, and most places offer discounts for seniors and students.
