    This is in continuation with my previous complaint dated[protected] where my 2.48pm ksrtc bus from bangalore to mangalore bus was delayed. I got a call from customer care (Rajshekar-[protected]) and he was asking my debit card number, validity date and cvv number... Tell me who will ask all these details to transfer refund amount!!?? When i started questioning him, he got furious and disconnected my call. After landing at 12pm in mangalore, this is another pathetic service by ur side. Kindly clarify!!
    I had applied for bus pass on date 18th July 2017. I still didn't received my bus pass. One month has already wasted technically. Why is there such long delay. Just give me my pass and its over. I paid for it already.

          I booked for Airavat Club class bus for my journey from chennai to bangalore on Aug 12th 2017 9.00 am. But the bus we were asked to board is not Airavat class. But still we did. The cooling system in the bus has some leakage. Eventually the whole bus is flooded. We have nowhere to sit. But the drivers are not helpful anyway. All the passengers are forced to change the seat throughout the journey. Since we have few seats left unoccupied we were saved. If not we all would have to stand and travel.

            I boarded bus ka 36 f 1368 from bangalore to lingsugur on 11th of august.
            Before reaching the destination, the staff of the bus asked the passengers to change to another bus for there personal reasons, they didn't bother to allocate the seat to passengers who all were traveling from a long distance..

            Even after paying the complete amount i had to travel by standing in the bus holding my laguage for almost 50kms

            Is this kind of service ksrtc provide to the passengers???
            Do the staff own the bus? So whenever they want they use the public service as there own???

              Dear

              This is passenger travelling from bangalore to mysore on ksrtc ka09-f4914

              I was seating at the first left side of the sitting and while getting ticket conductor asked me to move to other seat because the first 2 seater on the left is booked for conductor and it's not for passenger when the truth is government have made a special seat for conductor on the left side of the driver so the problem is lie and fooling passenger and i think ksrtc must take strict action against these employee when they cannot respect their job.

              I am not asking any crazy action but let him know once so that he don't repeat these kind of mistake.

              Moreover if he is old then he must retire and sit home

              References ticket number : 085002
              Departure time: 3:36:54
              Date of journey: 12/08/2017

                I was travelling from tumkur to bangalore today by ksrtc bus bearing no ka06f1005. I boarded the bus at 5.45pm in tumkur. As we neared bangalore, about 1km from gorguntepalya bus stop, the conductor and driver decided to go to majestic via malleswaram instead of via navrang theatre. I asked them if the actual route was not via navrang. The conductor behaved rudely and told me that going via malleswaram was the actual route. I then requested the conductor to drop me at yeshwantpur metro station but he said that he will stop only at goverdhan. Then i told him to stop at gorguntepalya bus stop but he told me to get down at the signal. I refused and told him to stop at the designated bus stop, which he did. I then went to the metro station, caught a train and then reached my home near navrang theatre at 8.15pm. I was put to a lot of hardship both in terms of time and money. Does'nt ksrtc have dedicated routes for its busses or does it depend on the whims and fancies of its conductors and drivers? A reply is solicited at the earliest
                Dear sir,
                Just now I got Airavata bus towards Pune from Bangalore but the driver did not going on tumkur nelamangala toll road he is driven on service road why this is happening see the passangers are traveling in Airavata bcz of timing he is taken 1 hour time in service road this non sense and irritating to passanger

                  I have observed that almost all toilets in ksrtc bus stations are in deplorable condition, whether it is bangalore, mysore or any bus stand in between such as channapatna, ramnagara, mandya etc which i recently came across during my travel from mysore to bangalore. All bus stands between mysore and bangalore are horrible. Most of these are highly unhygienic with conditions shocking in days where we are talking about swatcha bharat and shouchalay requirements. They smell so badly, no disinfectant used, hardly any water except we see a guy sitting outside to collect 2-5 rupees. I wonder if any concerned authorities ever visited these toilets. One can smell from a distance on the location of these toilets. Many food shops are very close by making things very dangerous. Why such a pathetic condition? Who is responsible who need to take care? If one has visited bus stands such as raichur, gulbarga etc (Which ii have visited a few years back and it wouldn't have changed) it is shocking. If serious measures are not taken to rectify, there is no point in adding costly buses and boasting of clean city, silicon green city etc.

                        I booked a 22:40 departure bus on 23rd july 2017 from chennai to bangalore. The bus is an ac bus. I am sitting next to the emergency window which is opened in all the corners and letting in all the hot air from outside so much so that i am drenched with sweat. I didn't pay for this terrible service and would like to get a refund immediately. The conductor came and put 3 blankets in attempt to stop the wind coming in.. One of the most stupidest things ever.

                          Today conductor behaved rudely for asking change of 80rs telling that she gave money to another passenger. I said i don't know kannada the started scolding me that i abused kannada. When i asked driver for bus number she hold my collar and started shouting me again and even she tries to hit me. She has to check while she she giving change to a passenger. Instead of giving change she behaved rudely.
                          Please take action on her asap.
                          Thanking you sir/madam.

                            The space between two seats in karnataka buses is too less. As i face this problem every time when i travel in karnataka buses. My height is 6 feet and each person of my height cannot sit properly between two seats. So i kindly request you to increase space between two consecutive seats in upcoming new buses and if possible modify current ksrtc buses.
                            Thank you...

                            SUB.: Mis behaviour of conductor on 7-7-17 evening 7pm
                            REF.: Bus number- KA 38 F 855 .its a bidar to Hubli bus

                            Respected sir,
                            This is sangamesh from bidar district. im a youth party member for the protection of senior citizens or physically handicaped persons.
                            yesterday(7-7-17, 7pm) it was shocking to see a conductor o[censored]r esteemed ksrtc group was using very 3rd rate words to a physically handicaped person. He made fun of his disability. and it was very shocking to see his 3rd rate character towards women travelling in the bus. He was starring very ironically again and again to a group of girls.
                            Bus number- KA 38 F 855 .its a bidar to hubli bus. i dont know name of a conductor but his appearance was black in colour.

                            This type of mischeavious behavior is not acceptable by our party . it will be better i[censored] authorities issue him a memo . and he should and must meet that disabled guy and apologise in a very short span of time else things go worst. i[censored] want to maintain your ksrtc name and fame make sure he apologise. and he should be trasnfered to some other locations without delay. the bus daily runs through our area so villagers and our party members might cause any trouble or unruly activity towards that conductor given if he fails to apologise.

                            we would have made clashes with conductor yesterday in bus itself but we didnt because KSRTC is a very famous and known for its sincerity in providing a very good facility for passengers, so we kept faith and hope that your group will give a justice

                            we have collected handicapped passenger details photo and phone number .we will bring him when conductor comes to apologise.

                            Rights of every handicapped person:-

                                      Hi, the bus details was not provided from ksrtc to both passenger and conductor after the reservation and not even before 1 hour of boarding of the bus. Because of this conductor did not allow us to sit the seats which we had booked. Why was the bus details not given to us? Below are the pnr details:
