Unified Payments Interface (UPI) errors on the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) buses had persisted for several days before being resolved two days ago. However, conductors and passengers report that the issue resurfaced on Wednesday, leading to inconvenience for passengers.
UPI payment failures on buses, particularly on premium services like the airport and AC buses, prompted the BMTC to address the issue on Tuesday. The BMTC stated that the failures were a result of the upgrading of safety and security features of the bank payment app.
However on Wednesday, commuters took to social media and complained that the sudden glitch impeded the seamless travel experience.
