Subject: Formal Complaint Against Kallada Travels for Unacceptable Service and Financial Loss (PNR: TS[protected]TMOV)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Kallada Travels regarding a distressing incident that occurred on 31st August 2024, during my journey on their Bangalore to Punalur route. My PNR details are TS[protected]TMOV / ORED2334153 / 99DTZ3CG.
On the day of the journey, I was scheduled to board the bus at 8:15 PM and waited at the designated pickup spot. At the last minute, I was informed that the bus was on the opposite side of the road, across an overbridge—a crucial detail that had not been communicated earlier.
When the bus arrived, I received a call from the bus staff, and after explaining that I couldn't see the bus, I was informed that I was on the wrong side of the road. Despite requesting just five minutes to cross the road, which involved taking a taxi due to the overbridge, the bus departed without us. This forced me to chase the bus for 15 kilometers to catch it at the next stop, resulting in a taxi charge of ₹1000.
The behavior of the staff was not only unprofessional but also demonstrated a blatant disregard for customer care. This incident caused me significant distress and financial loss, which could have been easily avoided with minimal cooperation from the bus staff. Given that the bus operator failed to provide adequate service and caused unnecessary financial loss, I am seeking redress.
I request the Consumer Forum to take the following actions:
Reimbursement: Direct Kallada Travels to compensate me for the ₹1000 taxi fare incurred due to their negligence.
Action Against the Operator: Investigate the conduct of Kallada Travels and ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.
Public Warning: Issue a warning to Kallada Travels to ensure they improve their communication and customer service to avoid similar grievances from other passengers.
I trust that the Consumer Forum will take this complaint seriously and assist in resolving this matter promptly.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.
Sincerely,
Asif
