The toilets in all the ksrtc and bmtc bus stop is not clean and they charge the amount for using the toilet for urinals, if they are keeping the toilet clean then paying the money no problem but why do we need to pay money for unhygienic toilet it smell a lot.

Where does the collected money goes?

There is no accountability of the money collected as there is no proof since there is no bills or tokens generated.

    Hubli to bangalore bus number 03920 started at 8.30 pm from hubli old bus stand. Reached at 5.30 am at bangalore.

    1. Bus didn't go inside majestic bus stand. Instead parked atleast 0.75 km away, somewhere opposite metro station. Old people found it very difficult to cross the road with luggage. Not to mention, the rash driving at that time due to no traffic lights.

    2. Conductor never asked for change as the bus came near bangalore. All were sleepy. So the change amount written on the ticket is gone!!

    3. A mere warning or memo would close the case. But that's not the solution. Ksrtc volvo buses have high rating for customer service. But for sarige???

        Hello
        I have booked the airavata club class from bangalore to kundapura on 26/07/2018. Pickup time was 21:00 hrs but i was picked up at 22:15. Bus was already late by 1hr 15 mins. I asked the conductor for the reason. He said that two buses trip were combined. There was no information from ksrtc regarding the trip combining. On top of that these drivers are loading 3rd party lagauges from channapatna to udupi, kundapura and other places and didn't have concern about bus timing and passengers. It will almost takes 11 to 12 hours journey from bangalore to kundapura via shiradi ghat.. On what purpose we should choose ksrtc?
        Sir

          Hi,

          I caught a ksrtc bus plying from mangalore to bangalore around 6:15pm today. My journey was only till b. C road. Usually the ticket costs rs 35 till b. C road. Me and another female passenger paid rs 35 but the conductor refused to give us the tickets. When we asked, he just smiled and said "not required. You just sit" in tulu. I told him that if the officials come to check, then he has to pay the fine. We won't be responsible for not getting the tickets. He smiled again and told that he will manage. I have noted down the vehicle number. It is ka.19f.3445. I couldn't note down his name as he did not wear a badge. He was lean and quite tall physically. Please take action against this conductor.
          Dear ksrtc KARNATA

              The conductor misguided me as the age criteria for full ticket is 12 years but my sister is 10 years old. On asking me he told that's what his department had told him and didn't give me a half ticket instead gave me full ticket. The conductors should definitely stop misguiding the public. He wasn't even wearing a badge to represent his name. Bus route : banshankari to Malleshpalya.

                The bus driver and the conductor have stopped the bus in between in national highway and they are sleeping. Like is this even real?? Are there no one taking care of passengers safety? This driver has stopped the bus in national highway 67. Wtf is this?? Aren’t we supposed to talk?? There are only few passengers and so they thought of sleeping in between I guess. I understand they might have been tired but this is not acceptable. And I don’t even think someone will look into this ### up matter. Please kindly take some action.

                  I found bus number KA48F957 Airavat ksrtc bus driving very rash on the highway near Dharwad around 10:35am on 18th July 2018. He was not following any lane discipline and was driving as if he is in a race. I called the Saundatti bus depot to report but to my surprise nobody picked the call even after 4 attempts. The depot office should be open by 10:30am. I don't know how things work in government office. I am upset.

                      Drivers of all Airavatha Club class, Diamond class etc. are stopping vehicles for tiffin, lunch n dinner in Nandi Food Plaza which is situated in between Bangarupalyam and Chittoor. The quality of the food is not at all good in the said hotel. Even the attenders in the said hotel are not cooperative. If we ask the Drivers, they will say that KSRTC has entered into a contract along with the said hotel and they have to stop the vehicle there only. Drivers stops the vehicle only for 15 minutes within which passengers should finish their lunch; however there are no servers in the said hotes who will serve quickly and it is a self service hotel. On 8.7.18 we booked return ticket from Tirupathi to Bangalore at 4.37 pm in Airavatha Club Class. However, instead of Airavatha Club Class, Airavatha Diamond Class ( Tirupathi- Bangalore- Shimoga - Vehicle No. KA-57-F-1650) arrived and we had to board in that vehicle only. The suspension of the said vehicle was very bad and we were feeling that we are traveling in Karnataka Sarige. Though TV is installed in the vehicle, the Conductor was reluctant to switch on the TV. The said vehicle was stopped near the above said hotel at 6.30 pm for dinner, though it is not a dinner time. There are several other good hotels in that route. But we do not understand as to why the KSRTC has entered into the contract with that dirty hotel. We have to understand what is the interest the KSRTC has got in entering conyract along with the said hotel. Drivers should stop the vehicle for tiffin, lunch n Dinner at the proper time wherever the are. After charging a handsime fare, the KSRTC is not doing any justice yo the passenger.

                        As a tourist, traveling from Harapanahalli to Hadagli boarded a local govt bus.
                        Whereas, observed that conductor was over drunk and arguing/using abusive words with each and every passenger in the bus around 4.00PM on 5th July 2018. Also he was not issuing tickets by collecting money.
                        Requesting govt to take serious action on this issue.

                              Yesterday night bus 23:30 Airavat Mysore to Manipal. The conductor 'Anthony' was drunk. When I asked him why he was traveling after consuming liquor, he was challenging me to come to the police station and complain.

                              Management please take note of this aspect.

                              Anthony was very arrogant in his talk and was not willing to even understand what I was trying to tell. The bus staff whether driver or conductor are not supposed to be drunk and be in the bus. It is a night route and ghat section road. THE ksrtc management or staff must understand that you cannot consume liquor and be on duty. It is shameful that KSRTC is allowing such practice.

                                Whenever the fare is 19, 29, 53 while travelling in government buses. Conductor never give change they say i dont have change.All the locality has the same issue, just think if they take one rupee from 100 people they are making 100 rupees daily.This is a very small thing which we traveller generally avoid but govt needs to take action in this area

                                  Madam/ Sir,

                                  I am a student from Hassan, trying to get my student bus pass done for the year. After waiting in a long line for about 2 hours, we were told they will not be giving us the passes as the time was up. I would have agreed on that, but the problem was the behavior of the person handling the passes, as they volleyed us with a number of insults, even though there were 7-8 people left for the passes to be done. Despite us standing for such long time, we were turned down, even claiming our ID cards to be fake and insisting that we would have got then made elsewhere.

                                  I say, KSRTC mechanises this system or atleast make it student- friendly. When you have a number of harassed looking people shouting at you after waiting for such a long time, this is a disgrace to the state transport, which is one of the best in the country!

                                    Hi madam/sir,

                                    Today at around 3:30pm i boarded 500d bus no: ka-01-f-9299 in silk board. I had asked for the ticket to banashankari which costs 15rs. I had 20rs but was not having 5rs change. Conductor asked me to get the change. And left. After sometime he had come back and i saw him taking coins from others. I again urged him to give me the ticket, the bus was in udupi garden signal at the time. He asked me to get the 5rs change or else get down the bus and take other one to which i politely refused and asked him take 20rs and give me 5rs when he gets the change. To which he rudely said, get down the bus, i don't have the change. The lady standing beside me lent me 5rs out of courtesy. Please take an action against such impolite and rude behaviour. Date — 1st july 2018
