They ac bus fare from vydehi hospital to hope farm is rs. 29 right now (As on 21 feb 2018). The bus conductors are such that they take rs. 30 from you and go to the next customer. They never even bother to give the change. I have to ask every time for the change. On 21 feb 2018, i had taken the bus number ka 01 f 1412 at 10.30 pm from vydehi hospital. I asked the conductors for the change after giving him 30 rupees, he said fare is 30 and i won't give back any change and coolly went on to sit on his seat inspite of my asking multiple times. This is a very common problem for me. Even when the fare was rs 32, conductors made sure they get the change, but now they won't pay you back the change.
Dear concerned
I booked a ksrtc bus bearing number
KA-06-F1136 from Kalasa to bangalore .
Conductor (dont know his name) his mobile number [protected] . Is behaving rudely with the passengers through out the journey.
Request you to take action against him.

Thank you

    Davangere city buses number103 from ss hospital to shamnur. These buses are not coming in time. There is no buses during 9to10am and evening. It's really horrible to wait for a bus. Most of them are women in these regions. Please do the needful or else remove these buses from this region.in the place private buses increase there numbers and convenient to all people's.

      Respected Sir/Madam,
      Myself Rohithaksha N S facing some problem with the bus conductor, Details of the complaint are as below.

      1) Sir, Earlier I was travelling from kankanady to Kamblapadav paying bus fare Rs 17, But some time if we dont have the change money, and while getting down the stop, when I ask for change money, I get the reply we are running or what?

      2) Now a days I am travelling by buspass, and I know that on the expiry day or 1 day before we have to renew the pass, But this Conductor warning me to renew the bus pass 2 days before it get expired, or else i have to pay for ticket.
      If i show him expired bus pass, he has the right to collect my pass and take the necessary action, but 2 days before how he can give me warning?

      3) At night time while travelling in this bus, I ask for a stop near crossing, bcos there is no streetlight, and it is a danger area. But for all the passenger travelling in that bus he gives a stop where they want, But he is targeting me, I am the only one whom he dont give stop.
      In Day time we dont ask any conductor to give extra stop except bus stop, But night time some time Ladies and small children were also travelling. And If he cant give me Stop, then he should not give stop to any passenger, except Bus stop. Why he is not treating all the passenger equally?

      4) In Bus Ladies seat Mens & Boys are sitting, and Girls and Ladies are standing, Why he cant give the Ladies and girls their seats?

      5) Bus in which this Conductor is travelling should be checked between Jyothi - Derlekatte. Bcoz so many time I have seen that he takes money from Passenger at their last stop, but dont give the ticket. Last week also same thing happend,
      Sometime we will take back the ticket from the Passenger while getting down, and give that ticket to other Passenger. Here I don;t know what actually he want to do?
      While checking the ticket ask the Passenger from where they get into the bus and cross verify their ticket.

      Please find the attachment for the details for Bus and Bus Conductor

      The above Complaint is registered on 6th Feb 2018 but till 20/02/2018 no action has been taken.

      Yesterday dated 20/02/2018 Same Conductor is misbehaving with me, he raised his hand on me and warned me that he will break my face.
      My question is why are you not taking action on him? Who will give the garuntee of our safe journey? How the Complaint letter reached in conductor hand?


      Regards
      Rohit
      Most the of the above problems are solved, but still not satisfied because, the above mention conductor is not allowing the driver to give stop near kamblapadavu crossing, as all the other KSRTC as well as Private Bus gives stop at Kamblapadavu crossing.
      KSRTC is not requesting that conductor and driver to give stop at night time, nor they are changing the conductor, and the conductor taking the advantage.

      Regards,
      Rohithaksha

                Respected,

                I'm kamath and my bill number is 4034. I hired ksrtc bus for a trip from bangalore to tiruppatur to madapalli post for february 4, 2018. Initially itself they over charged me for 370kms though the actual is only 308km if you go by road. While booking these ksrtc staffs said they generally do overcharge and it will refunded once returned based on km traveled. Yet they haven't done any difference in km traveled and still charging me for 370km.

                I have written a complaint with google route map of travel distance to charge only for what traveled and yet they are not much concerned and blaming on google map itself. Map route is correct as i have traveled on bike many times. You ksrtc can't rob money like these. I wonder for how many customers you might have done like this. This is not correct. Being a government staff you can't do this to your customers. I need my refund. Actual traveled is only 308km, let it be 310km. The rest 60km + 20% additional charged earlier, both should be refunded.

                Kindly do the needful.
                Thank you
                Regards,

                  On[protected]:30 pm i board a government bus in sagar whose route was sagar-shimog-shakti nagar.
                  I took a ticket to shimog
                  But due to some reason (I forgot my room key in home) i had to jump off the bus at thyagarthi cross near sagar itself.
                  Conductor took back the ticket and didnt even returned my money. (He may have sold it in black)
                  Within a second i found that the keys were in my bag itself so i waved for lift and a man helped me to overtake the bus and we stood at the next bus stop before the bus could reach.
                  Unfortunately bus driver didnt stop even though he saw me, conductor also saw me at the stop.
                  So please take some serious action on them so it will never repeat again to any passenger.

                        Dear sir/madame,

                        This is regarding the place where most of ksrtc normal (Red) busses being stopped for a break in journey between bangalore and shivamogga near nittur (There is no board or location sign).

                        Im travelling now in ka40 f 928, from bangalore to shivamogga.

                        I'm really not sure whether this place of break is selected by drivers/conductors or defined by ksrtc officials. Most busses are being stopped at this place as i have observed since many days where there are issues below which needs your kind attention immediately.

                        Especially during night journey, break is being given in a place near nittur, where there is no basic facility of food, restroom/toilets and safety.

                        Here the place is not clean, the area is full of garbage. There is no proper lighting which makes places a bit unsafe especially for women. There is no toilet facility for gents (You would guess how the area smells), there is one for ladies but not in good condition as quoted by co passengers.

                        About food, there is a canteen kind of outlet which looks like an abandoned building. There is no food available except tea and mirchi which are in very bad quality. The area us full of smokers which makes inconvenience to all passengers.

                        During this night journey of 6 hours duration at night, a proper break is necessarry for all passengers, atleast with basic amenities of food as there might be passengers who really need to have dinner/food in mid journey to avoid journey sickness, a clean toilet facility for both men and women and very importantly a clean and safe environment.

                        I hereby request you to - kindly verify the intermediate stops, visit and do a reality check at night, choose/prepare for the quality of service where passengers can expect clean quality and safer environment.

                        Expecting your quick and reasonable action towards the issue.

                        Thanks and regards,
                        Srikrishna

                          Service no 245870
                          Date of journey 05.02.2018
                          Time 06.01 am

                          I don't expect this kind of service and behaviour form ksrtc, next time i don't want journey with ksrtc.

                          Pls take necessary action on the driver and let me know the status of my complaint.

                            Hi,
                            I have sent an email complaint to ksrtc dt 26.12.2017. But not got any reply from them. Sent few reminders aswell but of no use. Re submitting my complaint as below...

                            I have booked a to and fro ticket on a ksrtc non ac sleeper bus from bengaluru to coimbatore and back.

                            Bengaluru to coimbatore ticket on 22.12.2017, trip code 2148bngcbt / ticket no j67744185, firstly i should congratulate the driver cum conductor (One man), who handled the passengers politely and allowed to stop when requested for loo etc. I was very much happy with the service.

                            But i had the reverse experience when i travelled back from coimbatore to bengaluru on 24.12.2017 on a ksrtc non ac sleeper, trip code 2130cbtbng / pnr j67744135.in this bus driver and conductor is seperate.
                            From the start of the journey the conductor was behaving with all the passengers roughly. He behaved like boss / owner of the bus. If requested for a stop he starts murmering and argues and shouts. Many passengers had an argument with him.
                            In my case, i was alloted my seat on a twin sharing berth. After few hours of journey, since the bus was not full, a single sleeper berth (Seat no 4) was vacant and i requested him whether i can swich to that seat. He started saying that is reserved and alloted for a lady, i have requested him for the third time again after crossing salem. Again he gave a negative answer with murmering and commanded me to go back to my birth. To my surprise few seats were vacant in the bus. (You can check the trip sheet for your reference).
                            His behaviour with me and others were in singular. Finally till i got down at silk board he didnt allot me that seat, which was vacant till blr.

                            The bus time was at 9:30 pm. Passengers including me were at the bus stand from 8:30 pm, and all started approaching him for boarding from 8:45 pm. But till 9 :15pm, he didnt allow the passengers to board the bus due to this the bus delayed departing 20 mins late.

                            Would request the concerned to take action against such arrogant staff and make them to change their behaviour.
                            My mail is to improve the service of the staff, so that other passengers who travel get a pleasant travel.

                              Hello sir,

                              I travelled from mandya to bangalore at 5.00 am[protected] and got into a bus which was already there at bus stop the driver and conductor were so irresponsible and theyt didnt leave the stop till 5.30am and for reaching maddur he took 45 min then waited in maddur station for 15 min and took 40 min to reach channapatna.
                              When the passengers asked is there any problem in the bus they are not ready to answer and asked the passengers to get down in the middle.
                              Even the driver was playing music through his mobile and was not listening to the passengers request.
                              The bus no is ka11-f-310

                                Recently i was on a journey from bangalore to hospet (Up and down), the bus i was travelling was too hard on humps and to add to that the driver just did not care about the humps. I am suffering from severe back pain as a result of this.
                                It was a non-ac sleeper. The journey date was 25th and 28th.
                                Either fix the buses or ask your drivers to drive gracefully at humps.

                                  Hello madam/sir,

                                  I have traveled from chikmangalur to bangalore on 28th jan 2018 with my 4 other friends. One of our friend couldn't come and we didnt cancel the that ticket because we thought we could make use of that seat. When we reached the bus station on 28th jan 2018 sunday night, conductor asked where is the co passenger. We said she is not coming. All of sudden he made a person to sit next to me and told he is going to travel till bangalore. It gave me a shock and we told the conductor that we didnt cancel the ticket. But he shouted at us and told he have the right to give ticket to another person.

                                  I want to know the ksrtc rule for the same. I couldnt sleep the whole night because there was a unknown person sitting next me. It was a bad experience ever happened with karanataka rtc. We dont want any strangers to sit next to us thats the reason why we didnt cancel the ticket.

                                  I want to know the ksrtc rule and policy regarding this.

                                  Below provided is the screen shot of the ticket

                                  Thanks in advance

                                  Gayathri

                                    Online booking from hassan to bangalore morning 5:02. While booking online please do provide ladies seat no alloted. So that we don't face very much uncomfortable in bus. I m not able to attach the photo to show how i traveled. At the time of booking we don't have option to book ladies. Is this facility available for higher fare rates? Ladies travel in this bus or not the part of india?

                                        Ka 21 f0044. We are two ladies waiting near the bus stop since more than half an hour, he made a call saying that he was stuck in traffic and will be there in 5min, but made a call after 10 min saying he crossed that area and went to jalahalli cross, and he wanted us to come to that place at that point of time around 12:00pm, he denied picking our call many times, we approached the near by office complained them then they helped us and asked the driver to wait near the toll gate, after we reached the place where he was asked to wait, he started shouting and behaved in an abnormal way making us the wrong ones on the road during mid night. He is quite unfit for the job when he cannot take the responsibility of the work give to him. He behaved so arrogantly and cruelly.
