[Resolved]  KSRTC — Asked to pay twice for travelling

I had booked a ticket from Chennai to Bangalore on Airavat Volvo class through online booking facility. Due to unavailability of printer in my neighborhood, I took the PNR and ticket details with me to the bus stand for taking a ticket printout. But at the reservation counter, I was not provided with any printout and was asked to buy another ticket for booking on the same seat that was originally assigned to me through online booking. Pls advice.

Here are the ticket details.

Once I also faced similar situation when the bus operator (not KSRTC but some other operator) was not allowing me to board because I was not having print out of e-ticket. I offered to show my photo id but he did not listen. I was lucky that there was one internet cafe nearby. So I could take the printout. Later when I investigated the issue, I realized that the ‘Terms and Conditions’ clearly mentioned that it is passenger’s responsibility to bring a copy of e-ticket without which he could not travel. In this case also the policy clearly specifies:
"This e-ticket has to be carried by the passenger during the journey along with an ID Card(in Original) of the passenger whose name appears above. (Photo copy of ID is not allowed). "
Hence there is no case in taking this issue to consumer forum for seeking compensations. The chance of you winning the case is very bleak.
