Address: Kolar, Karnataka, 563133

Date of incident[protected].
Bus number - KA 07 F 1668.

Yesterday i reached tinfactory at 10pm and waited for almost 45min, then i got the bus and i get inside the bus without asking whether it will got to my village narasapura because the board headed by bus is 'Bangalore-kolar' without even mentioning non-stop. After hoskote conductor enquired where you want to go and i said narasapura. He said this is thirupathi bus and it will not go.

I had a argument with him for sometime regarding the board he is displaying & why you don't go. I asked him to provide trip sheet also.

But despite all my efforts, he said he can't provide trip sheet and said sorry about wrong board displaying and made me get down in middle of highway near some village & he said other buses are coming and they will stop.

I waited in highway and buses are passing in 60-70 speed atleast. I waited for around 45min there and i got scared also. since no other person is waiting for the bus.
Finally some auto guy helped me to drop at home at took 200rs.

This should not happen to any other person what if i was robbed there in highway as i am the only person waiting there. All the KSRTC buses from kolar deppo should give stop to my village narasapura. But these conductors change the board so that they get some more collection for thirupathi route. Most of the conductors and drivers are doing this and placing us into trouble. Please take a action on them so that other conductors will work prominently
For more than three months, unable to reserve a ticket in KSRTC new website using Debit card payment. Only net banking works. There are many people who use only Debit cards and dont have net banking. When i called the customer care they said they will fix the issue, but it has not been resolved.

    I used to travel always in ksrtc to my native, I Was travelling on Oct 28 for deepavali holidays. My bus was at 9.35 pm. usually I get a message when the bus arrives.But on that day i didn't get any messages till 10 pm.I asked kstrc employees available in platform for arrival of my bus at platform but they told due to traffic all the buses get blocked and will be delayed.At 10.03 pm i got message from ksrtc about my journey and i searched for the bus and called the conductor number mentioned in the message.But conductor was very rude and he told me that we waited till 9.45 pm and left from mejestic and bus is on the way near navarang theater .If you want come by any alternative since we cannot wait for you.Usually we will get calls from conductor if passengers are not come on time.But in this case conductor never bothered to call me when bus leaves from mejestic. Then i took auto from mejestic and chased the bus till Gurugunte palya signal and paid 500 rs for auto and bus was moving and conductor was very rude.

    Once i get the bus i had an argument with conductor and he was very rude and not accepted his fault and he told me that we will not call anybody if they are not available when bus arrives .This is the first instance happened to me in Ksrtc.

    I request you to refund my auto fair Rs.500 at the earliest.

      We are both lady travellers. We will be travelling to Goa on 24th November 2016 and return on 27th November 2016. The gender mentioned is wrong even though I remember changing it to female while booking the ticket. The pnr number is J61494359 for 24th November and J61494360 for 27 November. Customer care asked me to cancel ticket. But why should I do it for no fault of my own.
      Please advise.

          I got into the bus at 7:30 in Hebbal to reach the destination of badrappa layout - we have given money but the conductor didn't provide the ticket for which we were held responsible. He didn't stop the bus but forced us to travel along the bus and started to blame us. He was pathetic in sense and had no ethics. He took the money from the Conductor and left him and made us to roam all over without a solution for us.
          May god bless him to have painful life in the world to get some valuation in life.
          It's hereby informing that, some of the depot are taking unnecessary extra charges. Gokak depot bus taking 56 rupees instead of 52, which is fare from Nipani to Kolhapur.
          Please take necessary action.
          Thanking you

              Hello all,
              I traveled from gangavathi to bangalore yesterday night. I saw some failures/mistakes from the ksrtc reservation portal. I was shocked seeing the seat being allocated to a male next to a lady passenger in a double seats.
              Ladies were uncomfortable with travelling and had to discuss and argue with the bus crew to get their seats exchanged.
              Suggestion to ksrtc : please allow only female passengers to book the seats next to already reserved passenger. Else people will need to fight for the seat to be adjusted. Some times the bus crew behaves so irrresponsible that they just tell go and contact the people sitting in a reservation counter. And when we go to the reservation counter they yell at us and ask to drop a mail. Ladies will be very much uncomfortable with the services.

I did online ticket reservation from ksrtc.in and i booked seat num.25 as window side seat, while booking time it had displayed as window side but after on boarding the bus seat number 24 was window side. I compared with the few other seat also it was also mismatching with the seat layout of online and actual seats inside the bus. Please do the currect way of representation as soon as possible.

                  This has reference to the ksrtc bus : pnr :j61342552, journey dated :28-oct-2016 23:32, trip code :2313bngsmg, bus number :f1233, depot :shivamogga, crew mobile no:[protected]. happy journey.

                  When i called at the time of departure, i happen to hear that the allocated seat no. 25 was given to someone named mamatha and the above crew asked me not to wait anymore for the bus that too after 2-3 hours of continues follow-up. it was a bad journey in the middle of night 1.30 am, i happen to board local bus to my destination
                  Request you to refund my unused pnr as it was totally misled by ksrtc personnel.

                          This is not the first time! We pay a amount for student pass and the drivers dont even stop the bus in the respected govt bus stop even if we hand signal! KA-18-F-617 must be informed immediately orelse the public will surely take action! These govt bus drivers and conductors dont even bother about picking up the passengers. They should not have a monthly salary, instead they should have a salary for the daily collection they make in the trip. Atleast they give a stop! 1 or 1 times can be tolerated, but all times that cannot be tolerated at all! Govt bus KA-18-F-617 immeditaley must ne taken into action the driver and conductor of this bus soon be brought into notice orlese we public itself will stop the bus and will inform the driver and conductor!
                          Hi,

                          I have selected Kannada in Ksrtc website. Initially, it will come in Kannada but if you click on any button at the top, English will display. Have not you gone through the website before you are releasing to the customer? This shows how much govt is negligible. For name sake, website is in Kannada.

                            Sir
                            I travelled to mysore from blore airport on 15th oct by 8 30 am bus with lot of expectations and enthusiasm.
                            I had heard about flybus and it's facilities.
                            But was utterly disappointed as there was not a single more facility than regular volvo.
                            They stopped near a hotel and asked us to buy refreshments!!
                            Too disappointed.
                            Bus also was not in good condition!!
                            And the charge was not a penny less than the flybus.
                            I just adviced all my friends not to venture into flybus anymore
                            If you have any reason please reply.
                            I don't expect a reply too
                            If possible please refund my ticket.

                                As my sister studying in mysore, she need to travel daily between mandya and mysore. For this reason she is dependent on ksrtc buses. She have yearly pass and paid complete 1030/- amount. Everytime when she is about to board a bus from mysore bus stand towards mandya, conductors behave very rudely saying that "these people simply board the bus coming by holding a student pass". She felt seriously frustrated by this behaviour. Why she need to get scoldings from them when she is paying all the stipulated amount prescribed by the government. Kindly consider this as my request and take the necessary action.

                                Regards,
                                Nikhitha b
                                I have booked a ticket from Coimbatore to Bangalore on 28.9.2016. But it has cancelled due to some reason. I therefore request you to kindly refund the amount deducted by the SB Account.

I have tried to contact account department, no proper response.My ticket No: J60411291. When I will get refund amount? Actually my ticket amount is 896/-.
