Sir/madam,

I Dr.Vivek Jogani, a resident of Mumbai, and dentist by profession have been travelling to Davangere and Bangalaore very often from Mumbai. I am regular traveller via KSRTC-Airavat volvo service, past 3 odd years. This is one of the best services I have come across; punctuality, hospitality and safety been the key features.

But, I am sorry to say that, off late, your service is been deteriorating and becoming verse day by day. All thanks to your mumbai-bangalore airavat drivers and bus keepers. On 11 june 2011 sunday 5.00 pm, I had boarded bus no: KA 01 F 9164 at from mumbai- sion to davangere. To my horror was the concept taught to me by the bus driver was that the bus wont enter Davangere bus stand and I will have to alight the bus in the middle of the highway. All these years the bus has stopped at Davangere bus stand and all of a sudden this time the bus driver and keeper said that it wont. Moreover it was raining and no rickshaws were available. When I resisted from getting down, the bus drivers were harsh, used abusive language and even threatened that they wont stop; which they did. After I told them that I would call the local police, they changed the route and entered davangere bus station finally. This was at par after causing immense inconvenience to me and my fellow co-passengers.

sir/ madam, no doubt KSRTC is one of the best services been offered in INDIA BUT THE QUALITY IS BEEN degrading day by day. I request you to, therefore, take stern action against such bus drivers and cleaners and deal with them accordingly.

THE DETAILS OF THE BUS IS AS:
BUS NO: KA 01 F 9164
ROUTE: MUMBAI CENTRAL- BANGALORE
TICKET FROM: MUMBAI-SION TO DAVANGERE
DATE:[protected]
DAY: SUNDAY
TIME: 5.00 PM
TICKET NO: 004198

THANKING YOU IN ANTICIPATION,

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

Sir,

I have traveled from Ernakulam to Puthenkruz on 16/06/11by a KSRTC Fast passenger bus started from Ernakulam depot at 9.30pm to Muvattupuzha Depot.
As it was after 10pm, I requested the conductor to stop the bus at Mananthadam stop, that is before Puthenkruz. But the conductor refused to stop the bus and he stoped only at Puthenkruz. As it was heavily raining, i had lot of difficulties to come back to my bus stop in the late night. I request you to take necessary action in this regard.

Thanking you,
yours faithfully,

there was a ksrtc bus service from kumily to changanasserry in the morning 5.40 from kumily depot. for the last 3.5 years I am a regular traveller in that bus. but for the last 1 week the service is stopped, when we contacted the kumily ksrtc station they said "the service in loss so we are unable to continue it" .for the past these years they dont realize service in loss. there is always all the seats are full then how can it be in loss. now the bus stopped , and the private owned bus at that time is getting more profit. also the travelling difficulty is more. i think the ATO at kumily means the 2 private buses followed by ksrtc bus is at loss , so he have get payed to stop that bus.

Dear concern,

I have booked KSRTC bus ticked through on-line to travel on 14/06/2011 for corona a/c sleeper bus from gulbarga to bangalore departure at 7.30Pm , In online reservation system based on seat layout displayed over the sytem i have booked 15 lower sleeper seat as it is exactly middile seat in the bus for a better comfort jurney but when i get into the bus seats layout is totally diffrent and they have given me last...

Hi,

Namaskara, My daughter of age 11years and 11 months was charged full ticket for travelling from Belgaum to Madgaon on 27/05/2011 at 0815 hrs. The conductor (No.3864 as told by himself) of the Bus No.KA-22 F1565 instructed us that the full ticket charge is applicable immediate after completion of 11 years and I was forced to pay full ticket amount. The ticket No. 061300 is enclosed for reference and if necessary document pertaining to the age of my daughter will be submitted. This is for your information and necessary action please.

Im Madhuri T P resident of karnataka, i have booked online ticket throgh ksrtc site the ticket was not booked but the money got deducted from my icici account... I have reference number of booking the tickets that is OB3901612,OB3901708.

I had booked Ticket from Bangalore to madurai (Tamilnadu) via online payment of KSRTC. My money has been deducted twice from my account. they asked to send mail to '[protected]@ksrtc.org' but mail not delivering to it saying no such mail address exists.

On 20-MAY-11, I tried to book the seat of KSRTC Rajahamsa which is going from Bangalore to Dharmastala via Online payment. But finally they deducted the amount from my account and seat was booked to some other person. At least, they should have some common sense of refunding the amount when they were not capable of providing the seat. Till today i didn't get my amount back.

SIR,,
I had a bad bad experience in ksrtc pathanamthitta,. i heard about a bus service from pathanamyhitta to GHAVY..this is a tourist place . bus service is at 6 am...there is no any other bus service to gavy....on16.5.2011. i went to the dippo with my 2 wealer at 5. 55 am...that time one of the duty officer haras me& spoke unwanted languages..i think he is the time controller..

All KSRTC buses starting from Trichy to Bangalore are Booked by agents before a month for week ends.
So they are demanding 550 rs for the ticket with actual cost of 350.They are carrying almost all the tickets so the passenger has no other option but to buy for the rate they are telling.The Karnataka state transpot corporation and also the government of Tamilnadu has to look into the issue very seriously and take necessary steps

I have cancelled a ticked which i have booked online using http://ksrtc.in/AWATAROnline/
which is nothing but the online booking website for Karnataka Road Transport Corporation.

The ticket is cancelled on 3rd of May 2011 (ticket was from Kumli to Bagalore on 8th May), and as per the website the money will be credited back to the account in 7 days. But now it is exactly 2 weeks and there is no refund at all.

I have called on the number they have provied but they are neither responding nor giving proper answer, also i have sent several mails on the same and there is no reply at all.

Please do the needful on this.

Dear Sir,
I had booked ticket from Mumbai to Bangalore on 9th May 2011 from Vashi, Navi Mumbai (1.30 pm) for ladies seat they confirmed that seat is for ladies only, but after coming the bus person was sitting (Man) I called to agent and KSRTC office two times but no one respond on that, I was very uncomfortable during the journey.

For taking ladies ticket I had paid more money to agent and he assured for ladies seat, that thins is very bad for customers, I always trust on transports and their services but after this visit I will never trust on it.

Very bad experience

Regards,

Customer

Hi

The conductors of local buses are very rude. i travel daily by bus no 116 and 119. I will try to keep the change whenever possible. But each time how can anyone expect from anybody to keep the exact change. For 4rs ticket, if 10 rs given, some conductors will start scolding vary badly in Kannada.Some people don't even understand that they r getting scolded.Some bus conductors even having the change, don't give, instead they write the change amount on backside of the ticket. When asked, they will not give the complete change written and they will again say no change. Its worse with some conductors, they will write the change amount on backside of ticket, when the stop comes they will go and stand in the back of the bus or in middle of crowd so that change cannot be asked. Some bus conductors do not wear the badges to note the names and complain and behave in indecent way with girls. Please take proper action.

Hello,

I travel regularly, in the BMTC and KSRTC buses, everyday. But i have seen it many a times, that the conductors and the driver/conductors are missuing the tickets. They just collect the used tickets from the passenger who is get down and then those tickets are re-issued to the passengers who are boarding the bus in the next stop, which is a serious crime which has to be taken under observation.

People pay for the travel and still the money is not reaching the govt itself , been used by the drivers and conductors of the bus. This is a crime which has to be stopped ASAP, before it exceeds its limit of tolerance.


For Reference the bus i took on Moday i.e 25/4/2011, from NGF to Tin Factory , same thing happened to me. For reference the KSRTC bus Number: KA-01,FA 1583, Ticket issued after lot of arguments- Ticket Number:D[protected]which was again a used ticket issued by the conductor).
