Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] Complaints & Reviews

I am frequently travelling between bangalore and mangalore. Ksrtc buses are stopped for lunch/dinner at the place of scheduled places convenient to the passengers. Commuters travelling between mangalore-bangalore and vice versa, between subramanya cross and bc road, the ideal and convenient place for taking lunch is uppinangadi aorf nelyadi where lines of hotels of any types liked by passengers of their choice is found. Unfortunately ksrtc buses particularly suvarna karnataka are stopping buses at hotel in between dharmashala cross and subramanya cross where only one hotel is found. The clelanness and food is not good in this hotel and passengers should take only food available there without choice. The steps of this hotel is also difficult to climb by the aged and disabled persons. The quality of food is not good and rates are also comparatively high than nelyadi or uppinangadi. There is no any other shops or stores except this hotel which is a punishment to the travelers. Knowing this well the drivers and conductors are stops buses for lunch for their own interest or income. This tarnish the image of ksrtc. Can the authorities take immediate action to see that buses for lunch or tiffifin is parked either at nelyadi or at uppinangadi which are the scheduled stops issue strict instructions to the bus staff not to stop in that dirty hotel in the larger interes of passengers?

I am traveling in a ksrtc sarige bus no.1724 on 02.10.2017, and i have reserved well before the date of journey. But it is very pity that the bus conductor has boarded more than 25 people without any reservation. Above that thee arrogance of passengers who have not reserved is more. I asked the conductor and he simply replied that what can he do?? If he can't do anything, then what is the use of reservation. I am frequent traveller traveling from adoni to bangalore. So please take strict action in order to provide comfort to your reserved passengers. Or else i will be left with no option but to raise the issue to the higher level. Waiting for your positive reply. Thank u

Dear sir,
It is noted that Rs 5 is being collected by a person for usage o[censored]rnials at Shanthinagar Bus depot though it is written as free. When asked he is responding in a very bad way and using vulgar language. He is saying you can complaint to anybody you want. It is seen many times that such incidents occur. I request you to take strict action and instruct clearly on collecting charges for using Latrine only and for Urinals

Recently me n my friends travelled from mysore to ooty in rajahamsa bus. 1st of all the bus came at pickup point half an hour late and we reached ooty 3 hours late. It caused a hell lot of inconvenience to us.
Also we came back to mysore by the same bus service even then the bus was delayed by 1 1/2 hour
Very much disappointed karte

Dear sir,
I was travelling from sira to chitra durga, on ticket no 030280 of rona depo vehicle no ka 26 f 908, around 07.30 hrs bus reached hiriyur station, conductor informed travellers about tiffin break, i had urgency to reach chitra durga. So i requested travelling pass / report with conductor, conductor denied stating we don't have provisions of issuing pass at this station, we requested agian, but his colleagues of the dept started screaming on me & threatened using foul words.
With these type of gestures by dept staff is unfair with public which leads to dis respect to dept.

Bangalore to hassan at 5.30am volvo bus is always delayed for more than half an hour... It's multiple times not once... Hence need to look into this matter if we ask bus driver they tell it's bcoz they get vehicle very late... Bcoz of delaying we face lot of inconvenience to report our duty... I have called the concerned official for this and they say that they 'll solve this problem or 'll look into this matter and then forget this matter... Plz look into it and solve the problem or find out solution..

I placed the bag at the baggage compartment right above my seat. I boarded at shantinagar bmtc bus depot. I did not use/open the bag throughout my journey till my destination. When i was about to get down from the bus at koyembedu bus terminus (My destination), i found that the bag was missing.

2) lenovo laptop, model:t540p, black color

3) laptop charger and mobile charger, usb mouse

Dear sir,

I had booked ticket for 29th sept 20:35 bus# ka57f747 to ernakulam. The driver wakes me up at 6.42am at thrissur and says stop has come. By the time got down and realised it is thrissur, the bus left. I tried running behind the bus trying to stop, but the driver just ignored. I request ksrtc team to take action on such drivers as they are cheating passengers and making money.

Thanks
Govind

We have booked our journey to bellary on 28th sep 2017 22:30 pm suhas service 1154. By 22:30, bus hasn't reached terminal 1 bus stop. So, we call up to the number which we got through sms. We got response saying their is huge traffic block, please wait at platform 4. So, we waited for one hour still no information. Meanwhile we continuously called the same contact. But phone was switched off. We are in full confusion, whether the bus came or it left. We also tried tracking portal that also not worked. We are very frustrated because we have no clue about bus. We request ksrtc please respond for passenger calls atleast and respond saying what's the status. Otherwise how many hours we need to wait for bus. And please look for tracker system and there are no one to guide at bus station not even enquiry office. There is huge traffic block at bus stop and no one tried to clear the block, everyone just honking.

Pnr #j66375134 from coimbatore to bangalore bus delayed in its arrival which caused my train missed at 10:05 from majestic. Bus suppose to be reached at 8:30 to 9:00 as per the online timings. And driver was very ride.in between bus was changed in mysore due to single driver/conductor of the initial bus duty was over. Bus #f4940. Now i lost 400 rupees of train and 200 rupees for auto from satellite bus stand to yeshwanthpur bus stand. Horrible journey. Who ll pay my money?

Volvo bus no ka 01, fa 2111 bus towards silk board 500 d seats towards the end last but 2 rows the side seat was leaking. The conductor who was on the bus on 27th was not allowing the passenger to sit on the front side seat in front row as he claimed that seat to be his. I think volvo bus should be equipped with a maintenance kit of basic tools and cellotapes, something to prevent minor leakages etc.
Complaint from ticket no 102, depo 25, v500d/21. Time 7.25 am route kalyan nagar to silk board. Pls resolve this as there are rainy days ahead.

So kindly tell them how to behave with passengers and tell them to give the stops in were ksrtc stops.

Respected sir/madam
My booking has been cancelled twice
And here i am copy pasting their email which was sent to me
Service cancellation alert: ksrtc regrets to inform you that for journey date:26-sep-2017 22:00 tripcode 2215bngmnp with pnr:j66163636 is cancelled. Inconvenience regretted.
Service cancellation alert: ksrtc regrets to inform you that for journey date:03-oct-2017 21:20 tripcode 2021mnpbng with pnr:j66217092 is cancelled. Inconvenience regretted.

In ordered support krtc and also get all the possible benefit from their service i always preferred to book the bus ticket in ksrtc
What i found it there is much more deference in the price compare to private bus and ksrtc. And as a respected citizen of this state i do have all the rights to take the benefit from every service what the government of karnataka provide me
But ksrtc began to give an impression that private buses are always safe and to be trusted and when i called the customer support they have given one mobile number to make an enquiry about this issue and the person who spoke to he was really very rude and he say that we do whatever we want and every one give another number to talk with
They have no concern for their passenger, how the passenger will find another ticket, in the peak time
And also when the ticket has been canceled they take 7 working days to refund the money to our bank account and how can they assume that we will have enough money in bank account to book an another bus ticket, or look for another option
I want to know is genuine reason to cancel the ticket or some faculty over there doing some dram with passengers and spoiling the reputation of ksrtc
Thanking you
And looking forward

Respected sir/madam

The route turuvekere to chikkanayakanahally the buses are not available in required time. There is an express bus at the evening which has come to turuvekere at above 6-15 it is required at morning 10-00 to 10-30 am and here are very rare at 5-30pm onwards. At the evening we are very tiring but we are struggling to get the buses. We have monthly passes but not get the busses frequently. If we get the bus to k. B. Cross, and must wait at there nearly 1 or 2 hours... It is my humble request to provide buses to the route. At the evening time fast express bus (Mysore-chithradurga) has got very rush... So plz plz help the ksrtc bus pass citizen...

Dear madam/sir,
1. Firstly, my husband and myself boarded the subject bus from vadakara, kerala, which was scheduled to reach there at 9:45pm instead the bus arrived at 10:40pm which is one hour late and moreover what we have observed is, if the passengers are late the crew keeps waiting even if it's more than 15minutes which is definitely not fair to passengers who have already arrived and this happens in almost every stop. We kindly request ksrtc to find a solution to this and improve on the promptness.
2. Second, this is one of worst experience we had, after we started our journey after about 2hours it started raining heavy and the most disturbing part was a volvo bus who's ticket fair is around 700 and is supposed to be a luxury bus had been completely seeping... Rain water was seeping from top side of the windows which are sealed how can this ever happen.. We had to travel with such a big nuisance?!!! Almost the entire bus was seeping and all the passengers had to travel in such horrible position. Seeing this we called the conductor.. And showed the issue his answer to us was 'what to do madam" the company gives us the bus and we just do our work. How rediculous is this? We had to travel the same way the whole night. What we understand by this is the passengers are at their least safety while traveling in a ksrtc buses. Today it was seepage tomorrow it can be something else which can even risk the passengers lives. It clearly shows how unfit are the ksrtc buses to be driven on road. None of the norms are being followed.
We have suffered damages due to this trip : 1. As my clothes got wet i fell sick the very next day and even had to consult the doctor and due to this my routine for the entire week got disturbed!!!
2. Our bags which had been kept in the dicky was completely wet as the dicky had turned into a water pool. Our clothes which were in the bag had become completely dirty has spoilt as the colours got mixed with each other and most of our clothes were expensive as we had attended a wedding and returning. We want damages for this!!!
We want ksrtc to refund our ticket fee, pay doctor’s fee and pay for cloths that have completely spoilt, as damages!.
Hence we look forward for a positive reply from the consumer forum do the needful action to stop corruption in the ksrtc department and save people's lives and keep up to their reputation and maintain the buses and make sure that their fit to run on roads and then allot buses to the respective destinations, this can keep the passengers safe!!!. Let them understand that passengers don't travel free it's a paid services given by the karnataka government.
