BMTC has put special bus from Bangalore to Hassan in place of KSRTC regular route to accommodate surplus passenger load due to the announcement of State govt guarantee of free pass to ladies
So they are charging Rs 95 in place of regular fare of Rs 70 from Jalahalli to Kunigal. I have taken the picture of passenger inside the bus at Solur, There are only 6 men were there and remaining passengers are hesitate to step up due to abnormal bus fare. What is the use of this sort of facility which intern will never adjust to the toll fare.
Giving of hundred percent to ladies and making extra burden on men passenger is in intolerable please look into this matter

    KA-13 F-2026 this is the number of the bus that is travelling to Hassan and the conductor here was pushing every single passenger with his hands and when asked him why was he doing so he was very rude and arrogant and he abused a girl that is me. He could have told the passengers just to move forward instead he was just pushing everyone this is a very serious issue and I request the government to take action against the conductor. This would be a great favour for women if the action is taken against the CONDUCTOR this is taken place on[protected] between 4:45 pm -5 pm.Take action against him or else I’m gonna take it further to court

          Address: Mangaluru

          Sir, Bus Conductor of KSRTC Bus No. KA 57 F 0539 travelling from Mudipu to Mangaluru KSRTC depo at 9.15 AM Date 12.02.2024 is very rude, unhelpful and arrogunt. When I am travelling first time from Mudipu to Mangaluru at this Bus I asked conductor from which route (place) this bus will go. Because as my knowledge, from Mudipu KSRTC bus go from some different route. (exple.Maaduru-Kotekar beeri-thokkottu-Managaluru/other rural routs). First he does not answered me when asked somany times. But by asking so many time He answered arroguntly as he is not interested to answer details & it is not his work. and then he made argument for sometime. Is not a his duty to share details to passenger, if a passenger asked some imformation about timing, route etc. .Otherwise only giving ticket is his duty? So, I request you to necessary action about this as this type of rude behaviour should not be repeated to any passenger travelling at this bus like me.
          Thank you.

                Address: Hospete KSRTC bus stand, Karnataka

                The washrooms ere extremely dirty. It looked like it had never been cleaned before. There were used sanitary pads on the floor. Most of the urinals weren't usable because of hoe dirty they were. The doors didn't have a lock. They charged us 10 rupees each for it even though there was a board outside that said the fees was 2 rupees each. There were three men sitting outside the women's washroom. And one of them kept walking inside the women's washroom despite the women asking him to leave he kept coming back inside. And all three of these men looked drunk. It made us feel extremely unsafe.

                      Subject: Urgent: Complaint Regarding Unpleasant Journey - Bus KA22F2221, PNR: T98638367

                      Dear depot manager / charge man

                      My name is Venkatesh Kulkarni and I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent KSRTC bus journey I undertook from Dharwad to Bangalore on January 15, 2024.

                      The journey was on Bus No: KA22F2221, PNR: T98638367, scheduled to depart at 22:15. Unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory. The bus was plagued with issues such as an overwhelming bad smell and a severe bed bug infestation. Despite bringing these concerns to the attention of both the driver and conductor, they seemed helpless and unable to address the situation.

                      In my attempt to seek a resolution, I spoke with Charge Man Dandekar and the depot manager. However, the responses received were not adequate. The staff claimed that the bus had been cleaned, but upon further inspection, I discovered significant dust accumulation and a continued presence of bed bugs.

                      This experience has been both inconvenient and uncomfortable, and I believe it is crucial to address these issues promptly to ensure the well-being and satisfaction of passengers. I kindly request your urgent intervention in investigating and rectifying the conditions on Bus KA22F2221.

                      Please find attached relevant details such as my ticket (PNR: T[protected] and any additional information that might assist in resolving this matter promptly.

                      I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and look forward to a swift and satisfactory resolution.

                      Thank you.

                      Sincerely,
                      Venkatesh Kulkarni

                        I am writing to bring to your attention a distressing incident that occurred during a recent bus journey from Bangalore to Anantapur today. My family and I, comprising three adults and one child, were traveling, and unfortunately, a misunderstanding arose concerning the issuance of tickets for the journey. My illiterate grandmother took the tickets and there was huge crowd out there and the rest were standing in the front side.

                        When the bus stopped for a break, mostly people got down so I could approach to my grandmother to ask and upon realizing that the ticket for the child had not been issued, I intended to rectify the situation by approaching the conductor. However, before I could do so, officials boarded the bus for a routine check. When questioned about the number of tickets purchased, we transparently stated that three tickets had been acquired. Consequently, we were informed of a fine that needed to be paid for the missing ticket, and we promptly complied. I have attached the receipt for the fine payment for your reference.

                        Regrettably, the situation took an unexpected turn when the conductor, after receiving the fine, verbally, mentally, and physically abused my uncle. This incident occurred without any provocation, and the conductor resorted to brutal behavior. The entire episode was recorded, and I have attached the video footage to this complaint.

                        To compound matters, the conductor took a picture of my Aadhar card, I am also worried about the potential misuse of my personal information, including my name, address, and phone number.

                        I am reaching out to you with a formal complaint, urging you to investigate this matter promptly and take the necessary actions against the conductor involved. All the necessary videos and photos are being attached along with it. Such behavior is unacceptable and goes against the principles of customer service and basic human decency. Passengers should not be subjected to physical abuse, especially after complying with the prescribed penalties.

                        I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and appreciate your efforts in addressing and resolving the issue. Please keep me informed about any actions taken in response to this complaint.

                        Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter.

                                Hello KSRTC,

                                My name is Sha, by professional an advocate, I would like to bring up to your notice that, I was traveling from Magalore to Bengalore on dated:25/12/2023, the incident took place at while about approaching the Charmadi ghat hair pin arround 5-02 pm, the bus number KA13-F-2314, the driver of the said number was driving the bus very rashly approached from the back and overtook me at the hairpin blocking my way on the path, however I managed to drove my car off the road safe guarding the further damages.

                                It is further bring your notice that, the bus driver continued with RASH driving overtaking other sedan cars and also a KSRTC bus, the said bus and driver "name unknown" stopped soon after the incident though the driver was in hurry to escape from the circumstances, however an another car driver also joined since he had also was chocked by way while overtaking the car.

                                While arguing with the said bus driver, conductor also joined for unnecessary arguments rater calm down the situations.

                                Sir, it's my humble request that call the driver and conductor of the said bus and make them clear how to drive buses in Ghats sections in safe and economically, and how to behave with an advocate when other traveller's also complained about his RASH AND NEGLIGENCE DRIVING.

                                Thank you

My husband and I got down to use the washroom in Mysore bus stand. It took us 5 to 7 minutes and when we came out the bus had left us and gone. We ran behind the bus and he did not stop and we had to call him. He stopped way outside the bus stand and started yelling us saying that we had to take his permission to use the washroom. Absolutely Ill mannered and no decency to talk. We had 4 bags in the bus. Please action. His phone number is [protected].
