Everyday the students perch on the goods auto in their villages, hang on to their dear lives, before reaching the bus stands. From there they catch mofussil buses and once again go through the same rigmarole in trying to catch the city buses to reach their colleges. This is the scene at the Bettadapura hobli in Periyapatna taluk, where there is lack of bus facility to reach schools and colleges in towns and cities.
