The uproarious incident unfolded at the Satellite bus stand on a Tuesday morning, as a woman and her granddaughter prepared to embark on their journey. They were entitled to complimentary travel under the Karnataka government＊s ＆Shakti Yojana＊, exempting them from purchasing tickets. However, their winged companions in a cage caught the conductor's attention, leading to the unexpected ticketing affair.
The conductor, perhaps inspired by the feathered passengers' audacity, levied a total fare of Rs. 444 每 a charming Rs. 111 for each of the four parrots. This whimsical move tickled the funny bones of fellow passengers, some of whom couldn't resist snapping pictures of the duo alongside their avian comrades amidst the bus seats.

KSRTC rules allow pets on non-AC buses, encompassing city, suburban, and rural routes, but not on premium services like Karnataka Vaibhava, Rajahamsa, non-AC sleeper coaches, or any air-conditioned services. Pet dogs are charged half the adult fare, while puppies, rabbits, birds, and cats pay half the child fare.
In this peculiar case, the parrots were treated as honorary 'children', according to reports from Hans India. Furthermore, passengers neglecting to procure tickets for their animal companions risk a penalty of 10 percent of the journey's ticket price. KSRTC authorities have cautioned conductors against omitting pet tickets, as it could lead to potential legal repercussions and suspension for mismanaging KSRTC funds.
