Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] Complaints & Reviews

I am traveling from Davangere to hubli at 4 30 in the morning the bus number is Ka 07 f 1811 as i was sitting next to driver seat conductor is rudely speaking to sit in some other seat. Der was no seat to sit also. There was only seat but i was not comfortable. I asked the conductor what is the problem sitting on that seat he replied rudely that he want to sleep in in full 4 seater. According to my knowledge conductor ll only get a seat to sit not to sleep. I paid money for the ticket he can't tell me Wer I have to sit. And he is not supposed to sleep by making other passengers to suffer. I request ksrtc to take proper action and ensure it should not happen again

I have booked the ticket for mother, unfortunatly she did not carry id proof while catch the bus. Conductor not allowing to travel n he advised to cancel the ticket. Kindly cancel the ticket and refund the amount.

I was travelling in a 378 route bus from neeladri road to infosys office on 25th april, 2018. The bus was full of people and i was standing at the front gate. The conductor was coming from backside of the bus and i was about to take my ticket when two policemen got up on the bus from wipro gate bus stop, took the ticket vending machine from the conductor and started checking the tickets.

Since i was about to take to take the ticket, i did not have the ticket while they were checking the same, they started asking me to pay a penalty of rs. 250.

I explained them that i had just got up on the bus and was about to take the ticket when they had started checking and i have not got down of the bus without a ticket so i should not be demanded the penalty. But they were not ready to listen anything.

My grievance is that when i have not got down the bus without a ticket and was about to take it (Because i have just got up on the bus) when suddenly these people come and check then where am i at fault?

I booked ticket from davangere to bangalore on 22 april 2018.

Below are the details:
Name : radha
Seat no: 40
Bus timing: 11.43

It's showing in layout 47 seats. But conductor told it's 43 seats bus. For me 40 was showing as last 2nd row but actually in bus it was last seat. Please investigate it so that in future no one should face this type of problem.

Sir, from mantralayam to banaglore way, first stop is yemmiganur near 20km, at nyt time so many passangers asking for yemmiganur via bypass only, but so many drivers and conducters not taking passengers, especially at nyt after 7pm,

This week only twice (17&21 apr 2018) i asked the bus having bus number ka57 f889, but they not taking passengers, kindly look in to the matter, not only this bus, so many ksrtc buses are not taking of passengers from last 3months, previously they stopping, but now last 3months they are not taking of passengers. Nearly 10 to 15 pepole (23*20=460/-) they are loosing for ksrtc for bus.

Kindly look in to the issue sir.

Dear sir/madam,

We find inconvenient travelling between mysore to malavalli due to there is no stop in bhugathahalli bus stop. The bus will stop either in melahalli or near ring road but in between this bhugathahalli after navkis school there is no stop.

I promptly request you to kindly give bus stop in bhugathahalli bus stand. (Local bus stand is there in bhugathahalli)

Ksrtc bus no 356cw the route is from electronic city wipro gate 5 to hsr bda complex does not ply till hsr. It takes a uturn at silk board and returns back. They say there are not sufficient people. But definitely there are people who need this service. Please consider plying this route as designed. It would help students mainly traveling in thr evening for classes and weekend also. Evening 4:30-8:30 is very useful.

I am writing from hunsur, mysore district. Everyday morning i catch a bus to come to mysore for work. I come to bus stand at 7:50 am. Everyday there will be at least 50 people waiting to board the bus. This number increase s to 100 on mondays. But despite this huge rush, there are no depot bus all allowed during this time. All the buses are route bus which come from madikeria, virajpet. Thess buses are already crowded when they arrive in hunsur. Next to hunsur there are three bus stop where we have more people waiting at least about 50 to 80. Everyday it is a nightmare to just get in the bus. Forget about getting the seat to sit. We are being treated like animals. Despite complain to the local tc, nothing has been done so far. Hope after reading this, some corrective measures will be taken and we would help us.

I was booked in a bus scheduled to travel from kannur to bangalore on 16 apr 2018.

The class of journey was airavat (Ac volvo service). Bus was cancelled at the service origin location itself (Ie kannur) after the scheduled departure time (22.10 hrs) due to bus break down and offered an ordinary (Non ac-karnataka sariga service) instead.
Which is not acceptable, as we have paid for the volvo ac service.

Due to this decision, i have not boarded the bus and cancelled my trip due to the fault from ksrtc.

It is required to get the full refund of the ticket, as the change of bus (From volvo ac to ordinary non ac service) was not acceptable for the premium charges and comforts.

My ticket details are attached below for ready reference.

I have booked ac sleeper bus from hubli to raichur, journey scheduled on 17thapr2018. I have received a message that bus has been cancelled as below, with out stating the reason.

Service cancellation alert: ksrtc regrets to inform you that for journey date:17-apr-2018 21:59 tripcode 2159hblrch with pnr:h69625819 is cancelled. Inconvenience regretted.

You do not have the courtesy to make phone call regarding the cancellation. When we cancel the bus u deduct the amount. Same should be applicable to u also. U have to compensate me the u r cancelation charges in addition to my regular booking amount. Other wise i will raise the issue to ministry of road transport.

On 14/4/2018,. Bus no ka28-f2315 departing at 19.47 from bangalore to bijapur bus seat no 1 is booked single lady & rittenhouse as female 3day advance ticket. But before departure your counter gentle man booked seat no 2 on the bus for boy. What a beautiful administration system in ksrtc.
Being a he means who sit on booking counter should take care that what is other passenger position whether that is male or female before going to book a another ticket, it is totally negligence of your staff. You finish him for wrong act.

Driver took us for 50km from calicut and went to a wrong route.. Went to tirunelku temple side..in between the bus couldn't turn due to poor road and broke mudguard.. Lateron the side glass where passengers were sitting broke as it hit a tree... Took a lot of time to take this bus to reroute. All passengers got outside and were directing. When we reached bangalore it was 11am. 4 hrs late..
I donno why kstrc is keeping such drivers who has no clue about the routes.. It's such a waste of money and time of the customers..

Ka 57 82256 number plate 196 on the date 09-apr-2018 timing 7:00 o clock

Pnr no. J69582524 journey from shringeri to bangalore. When the bus stopped for the lunch. He told that he will give break for 30 minutes for lunch. And he as moved the bus in 10-12 minutes. After when my sister called he is saying that u come and join the next stop in belur stop i can wait at that stop. What type of employment our government as appointed these ksrtc guys. These persons are uneducated fools and don't know the value of the human being.

My mother has BP and Sugar too. My mother was travelling from Mangalore to Bangalore from Mangalore Depot at 10pm at April 7th 2018, in non-AC sleeper, the conductors name is Avinash (ph: [protected]). The bus was not operational at 4am as it had technical issues near to KushalNagar. My mother was asked to board a volvo KSRTC by the conductor, she forgot her pursue in the damaged bus which had the ticket and mobile phone. The volvo conductor was not ready to take my mother further as he asked for the ticket, He dropped her in middle of nowhere even if she pleaded that she would give him the money once she reaches Bangalore. In the middle of night she traveled back to kushalnagar and met the KSRTC-TC of KUSHALNAGAR. He refused to help her even though he could have checked the logs for bookings and helped her. Then my mother asked money around in station and one angel MR. Razaaq agreed to help, and lended her 300 rupees and she ended up in bangalore.
When she didnt reach on time I contacted the conductor and then the TC of kushalnagar (ph:[protected]) . The TC said she met me and I asked her to aboard a bus. The TC said lies that he helped her and she deliberated got down from the Volvo bus but instead she was forced and He didnt help her. He kept lying to me saying she got in some red bus infact she had no money and It was KSRTC TC responsibility. The customer care was not useful too when i spoke to them.
The following are the key points which are unacceptable;
1. First why did the bus leave mangalore when they know its condition was bad and risk damage.
2. Why did the conductor not check when he knew its a single women travelling.
3. Why did the volvo bus driver made her get down in middle of nowhere in middle of night in a Ghat section if anything had happened would he be responsible.
4. The most important if the TC of duty that day at 5am at April 8th, 2018 in KushalNagar who has authority and ignored her help didnt even investigate, and kept lying.

I hope no one else has to go through this.My mother is educated she managed to get help and came back to our home. If anything would have happened i would have filed a court case.

False information provided by ksrtc bus conductor. Bus number: ka.19. F. 31
69 (Kushalnagar to bangalore via mysore) 4.30pm, 8th april 2018 departure from mysore to bangalore.

Only 5 seats were reserved but conductor gave wrong information that all seats upto seat no 26 were booked. Without seeing the condition of passengers, he made senior citizens and pregnant women to sit in the back seats inspite of they boarded the bus early. He made passengers those who boarded the bus late to sit in front seats. Take action on this behavior of conductor
