Dear Team,

on 18-Sep-2015 we have travel to Hyderabad to Gulbarga through online booking Suhas ( KSRTC), but we don't know the original pciture of Suhas bus, it was very dirty, very poor condition, window glass was broken and leaked due to which rain water was coming inside and window seat + side seat got wetted completely, unable to seat on window seat, water in the bus just like river and same condition was reflecting on entire bus.

before 1 week we have booked the seat and by seen the bus condition we come to know it is better to go by some other service instead of KSRTC buses, you can check the PIC where conductor use the cardboard to cover the window to stop the rain inside.

So Pls refund 50% of fare due to inconvenience caused us

Hi usually I will travel from chickmagalore to bangalore weekly what is happening in bus is fare charges is 239 or 394 RS for tickets charge but conductor is not giving back remaining changes to customers they will keep the changes and customers will also not ask changes because of small amount . So daily 100 of passager is traveling in different buses so think how much money conductor is making so my suggestion is round it of the fare charges or make conductor to give back the changes compulsory . I think i[censored] compile this small amount it will become big so pls do something for this.

Recently these KSRTC(puttur, mangalore, dharmastala region) people allowed use of ordinary student pass in express buses, now problem is i pay 375 ruppes for my mothly pass which allows me to travel in express buses, i made monthly pass so that i can travel sitting, now these students jump on express bus free of cost where as i stand sweating paying double money than them, its truley unfair to people with monthly pass, you need to increase ordinary buses at the peak time instead of allowing ordinary pass in express otherwise remove that monthly pass facility and pay our cash back. i even cant go in express bus in time now because everyone wants to go in express bus because its free for them now. KSRTC you need to react before you loose more of your daily customer... "NEVER ALLOW ORDINARY STUDENT PASS IN EXPRESS BUS, ITS TOTALLY MEANINGLESS"

I had booked a round trip from Gonikoppal to Bangalore for 13/08/2015 and from Bangalore to Gonikoppal for 16/08/2015. For my journey from Gonikoppal to Bangalore with PNR num J52008179 the service was being cancelled while for my return journey from Bangalore to Gonikoppal with PNR num J52008387, I have cancelled the ticket. Kindly check and do the needful asap as its almost 20days and still no signs of refund.

Booked the Bus ticket on 10 Aug 2015 from Bangalore to Hyderabad. Received the confirmation about booking and the money was taken from my credit card. But, never received the eticket. The KSRTC Online Transaction Reference No.: is OB16717401. As per there policy (If refund is not received within five working days, users are requested to contact Accounts section of KSRTC, by email to [protected]@ksrtc.org and / or telephone no. 22221321 Ext 283,[protected]direct) during office hours on all working days (between[protected] hrs on Monday-Fridays and[protected] hrs on Saturdays) quoting KSRTC PNR no. or OB reference no.) they are supposed to refund me the booking amount as they did not send me the eTicket. I have requested for refund but so far they have not responded nor given refund.

I'm noticing that KSRTC buses are being targeted for Baggage Theft. Me myself and another techie lost our Laptop Backpacks with office laptop, Mobile and other valuables on 23rd/24th August 2015 when we boarded a KSRTC bus from Coimbatore to Bangalore. I thought that my case is one of a rare and unique case but after seeing the posts in Consumer Complaint Forum (consumercomplaints.in) i'm sure that some crooked and cunning people's are using KSRTC Buses as their target and robbing the passenger(especially techies and their laptop bags) luggages. In our case we had complained in Electronic City Police Station with the trip sheet we collected from the conductor and are still expecting that they would catch the culprit[protected]. If KSRTC People don't act fast and put some camera or something in the buses to catch these crooks many other would suffer as well. Dear KSRTC.. Please value your customers and take some preventive action to mitigate these misdoings as people are choosing KSRTC over other cheap travels just because it is run by government and verifies the passenger details when boarding.

I happened to travel from doddaballapur to bangalore today, 25/08/15 by a route bus, plying from ananthapur(ap) to bangalore at about 6.15 evening .I paid the fare of rs.30 to conductor and he did not give ticket. He was making entries, and i asked for ticket, he said, 'not necessary, sit down' after three times asking, he gave ticket. I was surprised he was collecting used tickets from passengers who were alighting in between. It was dark and i could not collect bus number, conductor was not wearing his number /name badge, and also i missed ticket after alighting. If in that short journey, if he has done like this, imagine how much he might have cheated ksrtc from ananthapur, hope you investigate and catch this culprit

Why students are not allowed to travel in bus during night time after 8.00 with the pass given to them on concession. The students will be having classes. They have to come from villages and go back. Sometimes it will be late for them to go back from college. Or they might be having postings.. Like medical students and all they will be having clinical postings. Why it can't be extended. What is the problem with KSTRC.

On 24/08/2015 I and 2 of my friends were travelling from Tirupati to Bangalore through KSRTC in the bus KA.40.F.958.Conductor gave ticket for 3 o[censored]s i.e 3*228 rs as a single ticket. When bus reached Nangili there was ticket inspection. He asked for the ticket we searched in our wallets and showed the ticket to him but he said that was not the right one. They hurried and confused us. They asked us to pay the fine of rs 358/- in an arrogant manner.We really frustrated by their behavior and payed RS 400/- though we had ticket of our journey.They took money and gave ticket to us from Nangili to Bangalore but they didnt give any receipt regarding the fine instead gave ticket.They even didnot return change of RS 50/- Though we are graduates they cheated and abused us .Then think what will be the situation for uneducated people.Please understand the situation and please take necessary actions.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am a great admirer of Ksrtc buses and service. But the AWATAR online portal needs improvement.I had booked the tickets from Bengaluru-Mumbai and return through online portal and transaction failed without booking but the amount of Rs 9837 was debited from my HDFC account. This is the Transaction detail- OB16837454 . Please let us know when the amount will be refunded. I had already sent email to accounts section [protected]@ksrtc.org...
