| Address: KSRTC, Bangalore, Karnataka |
I travelled from Pondicherry to Bangalore on 9th July 2022.
KSRTC Bus PNR: J88438793
Bus no: 1215
The bus departed from Pondicherry at 9:30 PM on 9th July 2022, Saturday. The bus did not stop anywhere for a break. I went to ask the co-driver for a stop to use washrooms at 12 AM. He had stopped the bus a couple of times for male passengers and himself who wanted to pee on the side of the roads. However, when I requested him to stop near some washroom, he said it wasn't possible and that the next stop would be Krishnagiri which was around 2 hours 45 mins away. On requesting him to stop at some pretol bunk/ hotels on the highway. He said there is no such option and that he can stop the bus if I was ready to pee in the open. His exact sentence was "open alli hogithir andre, bus nilistini".
Not just this, the co-driver was rude and unpleasant thorught out journeyr, during boarding and de-boarding as well.
The main driver was better and was slightly more understanding.
But the overall experience was a terrible one.
