[Resolved]  KSRTC — MIstake, Crudeness of Conductor

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

Dear Sir, (To whoever it concerns)

This is an unexpected incident that happened to me while traveling from Bangalore to Hyderabad on July-4-2010.
Bus Timing: Departure: 8:40 P.M. - Arrival time: 8:00 A.M (next day)
Bus Number: KA-40 F - 352. (RAJA HAMSA)
Bus Seat Number:32
I reached Bangalore Majestic Bus-stand at 8:38 pm as there was heavy traffic on the way towards majestic bus stand. I stood in front of the bus and started waiting for the conductor. I gave the ticket to the conductor as my ticket was already booked in advance, he said me that he will mark the ticket and will give me back. I requested him to give back the ticket saying him that you can collect the same from me after I am seated in the bus. He said he will mark and give me back and went inside the bus to mark it. I was waiting at the same point .i.e outside (front of the bus) where I gave him(conductor) the ticket so that conductor could return back the ticket in the same point of place. After a while, I saw the driver and told him that conductor has took the ticket from me. he told me that conductor is inside the bus and asked me to collect the ticket from him. I went inside the bus to get the ticket and demanded my ticket back from the conductor. To my surprise conductor is telling me that he has gave my ticket back but he has not given the ticket back at all. I am very sure he has not given me the ticket. he humiliated me a lot in front of other passengers. That was not enough from him,I repeatedly asked him that you have not given me the ticket but still both driver and conductor started fighting with me. They said they cannot allow me to go in the bus without ticket. Conductor agreed that he has taken ticket from me. but he said that he cannot allow me to go in the bus without showing ticket. He took me to senior inspector I explained all the things to Senior inspector about it but for my fate even he said the same that they cannot allow me to go in the bus without showing ticket. Could anybody explain me how will I show the ticket which is not given back to me?. I told the Senior Inspector to check the name of the passenger in the trip sheet and match it with my ID card (PAN Card). But he was not convinced at any point.

I am working professional, I have a very important meeting to attend next day in the office. I cannot afford to miss this bus as all others bus are full and there was a strike next day. I was forced to pay the ticket for the paid ticket for the same seat once again. JUST REQUESTING THE AUTHORITIES TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST SUCH CARELESS CONDUCTORS.

Proof: Please check my name in the trip sheet for the seat number 32 and I have also have another ticket which I was forced to pay same ticket once again.

Requesting all my friends and brothers to be cautious while traveling in the KSRTC buses as you could face the same problem like me. I know my money is gone and I am not going get it back.
