Drivers stressed, they take 12 hours to complete trips, says union

- Aknisree Karthik @ Bengaluru

Following back-to-back fatal accidents involving BMTC buses, the bus corporation has revised the total journey time of nearly 3,000 schedules (specifying trips to be operated in a day) to reduce stress on the drivers.

Stress is considered one of the major factors for accidents involving BMTC buses. However, drivers and trade unions complain that the stress persists because there is no change in work hours, and the extra hours they work beyond duty timings are not compensated.
