Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] review: No refund received! 71

KSRTC Playing Bad Game

KSRTC reduced rate of its different services except Rajahamsa and Volvo. this is when petrol price and disel price got reduced. There was no exception while raising the rate when fuel price raised.

What is the rationale of not reducing price of Rajahamsa and Volvo ?

Is these buses uses some other fuel other than petrol and disel.

This is completely an unfair game by KSRTC revealing its greediness and lack of social responsibity by penalising long journey travellers who contribute more to KSRTC revenue.

Hi,
I would like to register a complaint against the conductor of the KSRTC bus FA - 457, KA 01. I was travelling from Residency Road to RMZ Millenia Ulsoor stop. Date of travelling 20/07/2009. I gave Rs.5 to the conductor and asked for the ticket. He refused to give saying that there is no stop near RMZ Millenia and I have to get down at the signal before the stop. I didn't had a problem getting down at the signal but the money which i gave for the ticket went to his pocket. Kindly take necessary action.

I have reserved the ticket from chennai to bangalore on 23-july-09,
i got money didected from my account but i didn't recive any ticket against the reservation.

My bank transaction details below
OB1252478IG09285101 TRANSFER TO [protected]

Please let any one tell me how to get this amount back..
to this e-mail Id Vijaypatelgr@gmail.com

I want to book a bus trough Online, I selected a Bus &Seat also. Then the website asked to select the id for proof, I selected Driving License & i gave the license No where i have a special character, It didn't except & other thing like pan card I have applied it but not got, My problem is how to put the license No with special character. Or their is any other way

Booked a ticket in KSRTC five days in advance to travel to Thalassery from Bangaloreon 9th August 2009.
The scheduled time was 20:05, an hour later at 21:00 a bus to kannur arrived, to our surprise when we approached the conductor he said this ticket is for the earlier bus which is cancled.If you want we will drop you at Mattanur which is our route or you can go and get the ticket canceled. On approaching the Traffic Controller in charge the reply also was the similar, If you want you can travel by this other wise you can cancel the ticket, we are helpless we cannot do anything. This was the decision by our manager to club the service to the earlier bus to this service.I am really surprised this is the kind of service we deserve after paying for it. Imagine the plight getting down 30 to 40 kilometers away in the midnight and take a alternate bus. I cant imagine if it were my family was supposed to travel.The similar expereince in the same route another 10 days back.I was on the same Kannur bus departing at 20:00. Just after Mysore there was some trouble with the clutch, The drive manages to take the bus to gudalur depot workshop. It was around 2:00 in the midnight, and unfortunately the night shift mechanic not available, we had to sleep in the bus untill early morning 7:00AM till the mechanic arrived.
Who is responsible for these kind of services and whom should we reach to complain about these inconvenince.
The conductor and the Traffic controller said we are helpless we cannot do anything. Would they accept the similiar service inconvenince.I tried to reach on the enquiry numbers that were on the back of the ticket of which none are active.
Is this what we deserve for trusting the service.

Hi,
I am travelling from Indiranagar (Defence Colony) to DELL bus stop (EGL) everey day. Every day I am facing and seeing that the conductors collect exact ticket amount and don't give tickets to passengers. Today (Sep 11th 2009), I have seen that the conductor didn't give tickets for 80% of the people in the bus. I observed in each and every stop. Just he is collecting money from passengers and didn't give any ticket. I asked him somany times for my ticket and he was telling something else. Whle discussing with conductor, my bus stop came. The bus details are as follows.

Bus Number: KA01 FA.1508
Service Number: 201G
From: Didn't see exactly
To: Banisankari
Where I get into the bus: Indiranagar (KFC)
Where I get down: DELL bus stop (EGL)
Time: 11: 20 AM

This is doing not only this conductor, many many. 90% of conductors are doing like this. But no one is taking any action.

Because of this mainly KSRTC is loosing their profits drastically. People please think about this and take necessary actions if any Police office or KSRTC staff will see.

Thanks,
Srinath

I completely agree to the above complaint.I have also observed this and experienced it.I have seen similar type of complaints in the same site from many months.If the action would have been taken this should not have repeated till today.KSRTC people plese take some action on this and give value to the public's hardearned money.

Does anyone read all these complaints and take some action? KSRTC is worst in hospitality and the Bangalore Ooty.. route Bus conductors are Cheaters.. i am looking out for some official site where i can mail..

I would like to lodge a complain against the Bus driver and the conductor of KA-01-FA 1572.
I was waiting for a bus to Banshankri from my regular bus stop Jayadeva Flyover but the Bus conductor and driver choose to avoid me as stoping there would have allowed the other bus behind it to overtake.
If anyone from the authority comes across this complain please do the needful. So that such thing are not repeatrd and others don't have to face the similar situation.

Hi Sir,

My name is Sunil Myageri. From past 4-5 months we do not have transport service to KUSTAGI and GAJENDRAGAD from HYDERABAD. We are facing lot of problems to reach Kustagi or Gajendragd.

Earlier we had a bus services from Hyderabad to Hubli Via Kustagi, now they have stopped the service due to some reason.

Every 2 weeks once my friends and myself are travelling to our native places (Kustagi and Gajendragad). Now we are facing lot of problems to reach our native places. (Need to change 2-3 buses).

Consider this as a serious request and do the needful as early as possible.

We are requesting you to please re start the bus services.

Waiting for the positive reply.

Thanks

Hi,
I have been travelling in KSRTC buses from long ; and dint find much complaints compared to other states ...until i got a bad experience on 10/July/2011.I booked a ticket from Kannur to Bangalore on the Special Ultra Deluxe Rajahamsa Bus (KA-01-F-7828) ; on which we paid around Rs.170 Extra than the regular Pvt.Bus Charge..!
The interior of the bus was horrible...no place for keeping water bottle;bad lights...and the emeergency exit door had scratches and rough edges and worn out (The Person sitting there was commenting on this : he might have to take a TT Injection reaching bangalore ;) )
and while starting itself the lights were dim and was finding hard to light up ; i thought @ the same time that bus is going to stuck somwer...! it was true later...the bus had a bad battery and it got stuck and was not starting near koottupuzha bridge..we pushed the bus with the help of localites and it started... this happened again @ around 1:30 am...many was in deep sleep only few of us tried to push it in the rain and succeded...'Had a sleepless night" on the day...
Atleast the condition of the Bus should be checked before starting the bus on such a long Trip...very Pitty KSRTC :( :P...!
First time ; a Bad impression on KSRTC Bus Service...poor..!

Hi all,
I travel occasionally by KSRTC (Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation), I reserved ticket from Bangalure to Chitradurga on Friday evening in reservation outlet near marath halli bridge .
We reserved bus which departure is at 10 40 from mejestic, we reached there around 9 30 from that time we were waiting in platform no 2 for the bus and from 10 on wards we went to TC, helpline plople but they suggested us to sit for a while, till 10 30 we sat there and went again for enquery no response from those people.
Again we asked more than 40 busses weather the bus is reservation or not, non of the bus were for us.
Finally at 11 we went to TC he screwed us like any thing, telling that the bus left around 10 40, and it was in platform no 4, but in ticket it as platform no 2, even helpline people suggested us to wait in 2 nd platform, we were confused, they were help less he included a statement that its final destination was hagari bammana halli
My question here is why don't they specify bus number or bus route or Final Destination or any thing on the ticket the only unique thing where KSRTC is running on reservation system is based on timings but they fail to do so again around 11 15 we went in some other local bus even though we have reservation we went in a local bus KSRTC has failed to satisfy their customers.

Please ensure to print final destination point on ticket and improve helplines.

Please do the needfull.

Hi I am working in Whitefield. Daily i travel from Brook-field to Vydehi, the actual fare for this distance is Rs.7, but, i am charged only 5 rupees and the conductor doesn't give ticket. The money goes to their pocket. Many times i used to demand and ask for ticket. This is happening in every part of the Bangalore city. BMTC should take steps to avoid such fraud by conductors. There should be ticket checking every now and then. Only then such incidents can be avoided.

I booked seat on a ksrtc bus on 24th oct at 8.30am from pune (swargate) to hubli, I was present at the busstop by 7.50am and waited there till 10.45am but that bus conductor didn't show up at that time and also he didn't even call me to inform that bus has come. so i want you to take action against the conductor or who-ever are responsible for this problem and refund my ticket amount of 403/- as soon as possible
trip code 0800PMRHBL
seat no. 21
pnr no. T32888699

KSRTC website is screwed up, unprofessional website. It does not even understand that people are accessing through their laptop or pc. It always brings up the menu for mobile. Gives wrong error messages, assumes source and destination... sh.t. What sort of IT baxtards developed this sh.t?

While booking tickets due to some problems on their server my card was charged. But the ticket was never booked. Its been more than a month I called customer care regarding the issue.still no action has been taken.

I am traveling regularly by club class or airavatha before there they are giving water and dropping proper place if I travel to Bangalore they will drop in the road than how will go inside with our luggage and old people can not go also because we have continues journey like to go International airport please read this and do something day by day we are not improving making problem only. We are travelling long distance need some entrainment but now days they will not switch on the TV if ask they says not working if compare private is good

Sir to traveling in your bus from Bangalore to kadur ka17f1782 banglor to sagar root you person avoiding to go kadur bus stand I ask them why not going to busstand he told me it I is left to us we are going or not and told me to get down from bus
Sir it hurts me very much

i had booked 4 tickets to Tirupathi well in advance to travel on 20.oct17 by Karnataka sarige. my PNR being [protected]. the departure time was 9.06hrs.
subsequently I received an sms giving the bus registration number as " F9170". we have been waiting for the bus with the said number and it never turned up. we ran helter skelter around KR puram and there was no sign of the said bus. Now let me know what other priority does your inefficient messenger has but to inform the correct bus number. How dare can he SMS a wrong number & cause huge confusion.. I have undergone a heart surgery & your inefficient staff has put me into grave trouble by texting a WRONG/ INCORRECT BUS REGISTRATION NUMBER.
I hereby request you to pull up this inefficient ksrtc staff who is suppose to communicate thro sms the correct registration number of the bus and initiate suitable disciplinary action immediately for causing such chaos for passengers. If such inefficiencies causing hardship to customers are faced, mind you all customers would shift their loyalty to other transporters such as APSRTC, TNRTC, or private operators
