Sir, Please go through without fail... We were 15 ( 6 Ladies and 9 Gents) in the KSRTC Raja Hamsa buses which ply from Raichur - Manthralayam - Bangalore to Mysore. We boarded the bus in Manthralayam at 7.30pm and we were to get down at Bangalore on prior reservation. But we asked the driver for a request stop at Mysore Circle, Bhel and Nayandahalli as the bus was passing the same way to Mysore. He was sooooooooo mean and agreed, but the Conductor started shouting at us when we reached Bangalore at 3.45am. Few o[censored]s were to get down at Mysore circle but he dropped little further collecting an amount of Rs. 100/- extra, then four o[censored]s to get down at BHEL stop and one at Nayandahalli, shouting at us again he demanded Rs. 20/- from each which came uptp Rs. 100/- . Even after collecting the amount he dropped us in an inconvenient place. In the morning around 4.00am to drop us near BHEl he dropped near Deepanjalinagar Circle, one among us was unable to walk from there as she had a fracture earlier. I just wanted to ask the sincere and hard worker of the KSRTC Bus conductor that, would he do the same thing if his family would have been in the same plight as o[censored]s. My humble request to the higher authorities to call him, warn and teach him to keep some humanity qualities in his life. It is also like he will be travelling further, he should be very cool in the morning, but very sad to imagine our plight... Our travelling details : KSRTC BUS - PNR: J 41951527, Journey Date: 24.03.2014 (Monday) at 4.00am, Trip Code: 1905 MNTMYS, Bus Number : KA 09 F 4894, Depot : HUNSUR CREW, MOBILE NO : [protected] (Thank you Sir...)

We like to register a complaint with KSRTC, for the following travel made through KSRTC Bus Service KSRTC m -Ticket** BANGALORE to MADURAI <Psngr Name>Archana Meenakshi<TripCode>2145BNGMRI<PNR no>J41750346<Jny Date>08/03/2014<DepTime>21:45 Seat No>21, 22<Class>NON AC SLEEPER<Boarding point>SHANTHINAGAR BS(DOUBLE ROAD)[protected]<pltform>1 The above bus started at 9.45 pm from Bangalore stopped at Hosur at 11 pm, and without any Valid technical reason they informed all passengers to shift to another non sleeper rajahamsa executive bus and inspite of protest by all passengers. The conductor was very rude and compelled all passengers to travel in sitting bus and told no refund is possible. Due to the above reason, there is no proper space for putting our luggage in the new sitting inconvenient rajahamsa bus. This is clearly deficiency of service on your part. We paid high and still didn't have a comfortable travel and on top of that lost many of our valuables. Due to your poor service our laptop bag missed/stolen in which we lost the following: 1) Laptop n accessories 2) Samsung galaxy mobile in switched off mode 3) Cash Rs.15000/ 4) Shaving trimmer, 5) Mobile Charger 6) Headset 7) Car Original Documents. KSRTC is well known for its service and we are very much surprised about the above deficiency in service from KSRTC. KSRTC is completely responsible for all our Loss in this regard and more over our mental worries. KSRTC number is always busy and not answering calls. Finally when I catched up with one of the executive, he routed to call to control room, and from there they routed to call to traffic controller Shanthinagar and they in turn routed to call to depot 3 and the depot 3 they cut the call asking to call depot 1. Even visiting directly doesn't prove fruitful. Kindly look in to the matter very, very urgently and help us in getting back our belongings.

Sir,
My daughter pooja singh booked ticket from bangalore to mysore by fly bus on 22 feb 14 for journey on 23 feb 14. Transaction was failed but amount rs 822.00 was deducted from my account. On query it was told to me that money will be refunded with in seven days. Till date money not refunded. Kindly look into and refund money to my account. Thanks.

I have booked a ticket from Banaglore to puttur on 6th of March. NON AC sleeper. I paid 542rs for the ticket. Suddenly few days back I got a message that the service has been cancelled and hence my ticket also got cancelled. So I was expecting my refund amount. I have got the refund amount as 499rs. In this case I have not cancelled the ticket. If i had cancelled the ticket it is legal to deduct the cancellation charge. But here KSRTC has cancelled its service henceforth cancelled my ticket also and deducted the cancellation charge. If the services are not eligible to run on the specifed day, Why they are allowing to book it online before a month ?? I want to know why they have dedcuted the cancellation amount for cancellation did by KSRTC.

When I boarded the bus, another passenger was sitting on my seat. I was asked by conductor to take another vacant seat, on which another passenger came later and I was left with no seat. Then I came to know that despite carrying capacity of 43, bus was carrying 47 passengers. Whole light I kept requesting the conductor but with no avail. On Karnataka- Tamil Nadu border, requested the Traffic Controller to allot me a seat. He just shirked off the responsibility by rudely telling me to talk to conductor only. Only when I took his photograph threatening him to make a complaint that conductor and bus driver started speaking softly. Driver offered me to seat on the bonnut.
Fellow passengers told me that bus carries MP-MLA quota and hence such problems arise.
Whatsoever - I suffered during the whole journey. Please at least return my money.

Attaching photo of the traffic controller.

I have not received the amount 445 against the cancelation of PNR # J40183448. i have been interacting with your official baring the e-mail id [protected]@ksrtc.org, who was claiming that the amount has been cleared, but i have shared my bank statment with her which clearly showes the amount is not reflecetd in my bank so i had asked the bank statment of KSRTC, but she is not sharing the details . so i request you to please clear my amount immediatly .

Excess bus fare is charged for the journey from KANCHIPURAM to BANGALORE. PNR: J40243776, Journey Date: 14/01/2014 and PNR: J40227552, Journey Date: 05/01/2014. The actual bus fare is Rs. 256 + online reservation charges. However i was charged Rs. 312 of PNR: J40243776 & Rs. 343 of PNR: J40227552. When this was complained to [protected]@ksrtc.org, I got a reply that the difference amount will be refund once the journey date is over. Now it is more than 15 days, but so far there is no refund received. Also there is no response for the subsequent follow-up mails. Looking for a necessary action on this complaint.

Bus Number: KAF215, PNR:J41004392 Data: 26/01/2014 HYD-BNG, Crew Number: [protected] Hi, I am very disappointed with the way crew members have behaved with me. Though i shown them the SMS ticket and ID proof, they were asking me the printout of the ticket, they misbehaved with me. They were not at all listening and when i went to take the printout near by KSRTC counter at MGBS, Hyderabad, they simply departured the bus without even bother to call me. This is utterly a rude and rowdy behavior with the passenger after buying ticket online for 900Rs and this is the service provided to the passengers, totally not acceptable. When i called them and warned them with police complaint, they told they will wait at Jadcharla Hotel, I had to take one more ticket till Jadcharla to catch the bus. Please take the action, this will only harm the reputation of KSRTC and passengers think twice before booking the tickets with KSRTC.

Respected Sir, This is regarding unavailability of buses between Hangal - Haveri. This matter directly comes under Haveri Division of KSRTC. There are no buses on peak hours such as 8:00 am - 9:30 am and 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. If a lady comes after 6 pm to Haveri depot she has to wait up to 8:pm or commute up to Akkialur and wait for connecting bus. in these days of atrocities against women; the safety issue is entirely upon KSRTC. i personally met Divisional Controller, Haveri Division. He assured of a us to Hangal at 6:30pm. But Haveri depot manager is totally unavailable for contact and Hangal depot manager always a a same answer ' let me check' This is the grave issue of total irregularity of KSRTC officers towards publc, ladies safety issue and obeying their own superiors orders. Kindly address the matter

ksrtc has increased its passenger fare by Rs.4/- per passenger, towards the toll in BRAMMARAKOOTLU, Bantwal taluk of Mangalore Dist. from today . this increase is TOTALY UNFAIR AND unacceptable . for a simple calculation, ksrtc is paying toll of Rs.90/-per bus per day [normally 5 or 6 single trips in a day, in the same route] means Rs.15 OR Rs.18 per trip . Whereas it is collecting huge money from passengers on account of toll . Strictly speaking it is the duty of ksrtc to pay toll for using such highways by which it is going to save a lot on its fuel cost and maintenance bill, and not to squeeze its passengers . I strongly condemn this hike in ticket fare and demand it to withdraw immidietly .

I am fully shocked the behave of this Volvo bus driver, and his aggressiveness and no value of human life(if accident happens three people could have died because another passenger seated behind is pregnant female) I need the feed back from KSRTC as a citizen of this country and the the rashness of the your organisation.

Hi,

We travelled from Yellapur to Bengaluru on 03 Nov 2013 by 8pm Airavata Bus. When we tried to board the bus, the conductor started fighting that our ticket was cancelled. First thing was he was drunk and secondly I assume the ticket should be in the hands of a passenger. But conductor said I have to handover this ticket to the passenger and your ticket is cancelled. It was a hard ship arguing with the conductor. I am senior citizen aged 72 and travelling along with my wife and daughter. Initially after fighting he said he was at fault and allowed us to board and at the next station again started to fight.

My PNR Number: J39121869
My Ticket Number : 31880090

PNR Num possessed by Conductor : J39125161
Ticket Num possessed by Conductor : 31880096

With no fault of ours a great inconvineance was caused to me and my family. I kindly request you to do the needful so that no other passengers face this humility. I strongly feel such people are not fit to be in Govt Service. Also I claim a compensation for the insult and damage caused to my image.

Best Regards,
N.D.KrishnaMurthy
