We need to arrange for a bus to Melkote and Gerethannooru. There's a Pandavapura bus available for us, which is helpful. This bus comes three times. One service is at 2 PM and another at 9 AM.

Three buses have been deployed on this route from Pandavapura to Pandavapura depot, but not even one of those buses arrives at the correct time. One comes at nine o'clock, another at eight-thirty; they arrive whenever they wish. From Kateli to Pandavapura.

Tomorrow, fish in the morning, a bus will come, and there will be no evening service cut. Another two buses should come and pick us up. What are the three problems? We are always talking about buses, buses, buses, wow!

There is an opportunity for a holiday. Tell me. Anthahalli Basavaraju. The problem in our village is that in this Kalvani street, there are three street lines, and the old line is causing a lot of trouble. Please get that done for us. Because it's old, we are facing a lot of problems with water supply. Please get that done. Also, there is no way for farmers to come after 4 or 5 o'clock for the bus. We need a separate road from Pandupura to Anthahalli. School children need a separate bus, and farmers also need a separate bus.
— Siddu ಅಂತನಹಳ್ಳಿ · Giriyarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
The bus that comes in the morning reaches only in the evening. All the school children are facing problems. Two more buses are needed. Let's provide them, and keep this one too.

Our Pandu, our Pandupura needs to improve further. For that, we are asking for good engineering degree colleges to come up. Because the taluk has developed, if it improves further, it'll be even better. The main circle is here. However you go to Pandupura, the main circle is here.

Yes madam, there are many village children in Pandavapura. Every time they need a bus to Mysore. So if possible, if there is education there, it will be beneficial for the village children and poor children. We would like to ask for that.

Hey, there's a road problem here. College students face a lot of difficulty getting to college due to a severe bus problem. If this is fixed, it would be a great help. If we can get two (of these issues) resolved, that would be enough.
— Likith Dip · Doddabyadarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Please ensure proper bus services are arranged in the mornings for school and college students. Also, make sure these arrangements are in place for both morning and evening. Furthermore, girls are facing some issues due to unruly boys, so please make some arrangements to address this.

It would be very convenient if there was a direct bus service from Kyathnalli to Pandavapura. But Mysore city is on both sides for us. But first of all, we don't even have a bus to our taluk.

First, the bus is not continuous, and then there is no proper bus stand, and buses don't arrive correctly. There are many such problems.

If health is like this, then from here it will be more or less 15 or 10. Now, if we go to places like Pandavapura, the last border, the last border, if they have a hospital there, it would be convenient now. Otherwise, they have to go to Shivali from here, they have to go to Pandava.
