Hello!

Bus no: KA40F1419
Date:[protected]
Today, I boarded a bus from Bangalore to Chittoor. I paid 300 rupees for the ticket, but the actual ticket price was 215 rupees. When I questioned the conductor, he said the remaining change of 85 rupees would be given later. So, I also decided to wait for the change when I got off the bus.

When the bus reached Chittoor, I asked the conductor for the remaining 85 rupees, He suggest to go to shop take 20 rupees I will give 100rs like that. I agreed and went to a nearby shop to get the remaining 20 rupees. However, when I returned, the bus had left the bustand, and I had to use my bike to catch up with it.

I asked the conductor for the 85 rupees that were due to me, but he laughed and said I sounded like the telugu people's who haggle over just 1 rupee. He is using very very bad words ( ni amma ni denga ni akka ni denga, lanja koduku, gaandu maaro) like this . He don't know how to behave with passenger and also he don't not given money to two more passengers 15rs 10rs like this. How can I digest this type of words .basically I am from Andhra but I preferred ksrtc I never getting this type of situation before the the passengers are also scared about listening words from conducter .I already complained to helpline number but there is no proper response from helpline dept .I kindly request to take an action on conductor. This type of employees the ksrtc will get bad name sure.

                PNR No. J95795163
                On 15th September 2023 I traveled in the above mentioned KSRTC service.

                I was waiting at my boarding point Shantinagar Bus station from 9.45. I was not informed of the specific platform on which the bus will arrive. But I was provided with the conductor's mobile number. Boarding time was 22.10. From 22.05 I started calling the conductor to enquire about from exactly where shall I board the bus. Nobody picked up the phone eventhough I tried reaching several times between 22.05 to 22.45.

                Finally at around 22.45 I got a call from the same number asking me to board the bus. This being my first time at the bus station I politely asked him where to come. He shouted at me asking where I am and why I am not at the specific place. This repeated several times. He gave me local shop names, which given the span of the bus station I would not be able to find. I clearly told him in which platform I'm waiting. But he was shouting at me telling the bus is going to take off without me, ask someone in uniform and come if you want to board. At that particular moment I couldn't find anyone of authority to ask this question. I made queries to the local shop people and finally reached somewhere nearby. All this while the conductor was not at all helpful but also was very rudely and arrogantly shouting at me. After meeting in person also he continued the same. Blaming me on not finding the spot. He kept on blaming, shouting and arguing. I told him I was provided with your number for contact, then why didn't you pickup. He was avoiding whatever I was trying to tell him and kept on yelling at me.
                Despite the fact that I was not informed about the late arrival of the bus, the fact that I was waiting for the bus for almost 1 hour, I don't know how he had the audacity to threaten me that the bus will leave without me.

                I am so disappointed at the whole incident that I don't want to travel with KSRTC anymore. I regret the fact that I already booked a return ticket on the same bus.
                I as a consumer expect basic respect which I give to others in return in a conversation. He was arguing with me after failing at his own job. I did not ask for any personal favour or specific treatment. I expect the service worth for the money I paid. I request to take necessary and satisfactory action against such behaviours towards travellers. I hope no one else has to go through something similar.

                        This incident happened on 24.8.23 at 9am on my way to my office. while I was travelling from MG road from sangtrashwadi to Adarsh nagar where a KSRTC bus driver had stopped bus midway at Atal Bihari vajpayee chowk for 5 minutes on the mid road without any issues with the vehicle. there was huge traffic jam as it was peak hours for schools and offices. He was reluctant to take the bus on side. After 5 minutes he moved towards Barey Hill circle to stop again in the middle of the road to collect a parcel which his collegue in uniform had brought and kept casually chatting with him for 5 mins by making the traffic stop, . when the people confronted him, the driver of the bus the Ka 32F 2060 was not only arrogant but casually told the people that u can take photo and complaint wherever u want. No one can do anything to me..

                          I have travelled form Hyderabad to Bangalore dt.21.08.23 and PNR no: J[protected] Bus no: KA 57 F 3953)boarding point is at Jedcherla and scheduled time was 10.45 pm.

                          I have received a call form bus staff at 10.36 pm saying bus shall reach to pick point only at 11.20 pm and the reason is dinner time.
                          Secondly asking to reach diffent location to board the bus instead
                          of pick up location i.e. jedcherla bus stand.
                          I refused due to luggage and security issues.
                          Finally bus reached at 11.56 pm and the staff behaved very rudly saying that you should have come to suggested different location .

                          It is really something cant be digested by the customer .
                          kindly revert with appropriate actions taken.

                            My name is menaga, I live in nagasandra. Today evening by 7.15 pm I was driving my car with my kids. Was taking my kids to classes. Ksrtc bus no KA06F1174 hit my car by taking a unnecessary diversion. This was between nagasandra metro station and 8th mile signal. I got down and asked the driver to see how badly he had hit my car, and he told that he will park the bus aside and come. But he drove the bus without stopping. My car was hit on the right side near the door when I am with kids. He stopped only as I honked so high. I wanted to take proper action on the driver and he has to pay for the damage happened by his carelessness

                              Was travelling from tiruvannamalai to Bangalore. I entered a ksrtc bus as I was travelling alone at 10.00 pm and had to reach majestic and catch bus to hubballi. I asked for a seat next to a lady passenger. Though there were ladies seats vacant, they were all given to gents, each of them sitting occupying the whole of three seats. I would not dare sit next to them as i felt uncomfortble and had faced misbehaviour by male passengers.
                              Though i asked for a seat next to a lady, the conductor did not dare empty the ladies seat occupied by male passengers. I was finally offered the seat of the conductor.
                              It.pains me that ladies are not receiving the minimum safety that surely has led to male predominance.
                              Females are more sensitive and cannot move along like men atleast in such circumstances.
                              Will this mge be given importance and safegaurd women ? This is a question tp all males.. will you allow your wife or daughter sit next to a stranger male under such circumstances????

                                  Hello, I'm a regular traveller from Puttur to Mangalore and I have to travel to Mangalore after office hours. But there are no busses to Mangalore between 18:20 and 19:00. Can imagine the rushing crowd when the bus arrives at 19:00? Its a tragic situation that between these 2 popular places there are no busses during that time and for regular office workers to wait for 40 minutes after their hectic work, can you imagine the patience it requires?
                                  So I hope the department looks into this issue and handles it with the solution it requires.

                                    Today I booked bus ticket for my mother and by mistake I had given my mobile number for OTP. I booked ticket in the name of my mother and I sent booking confirmation message to her mobile. She has aadhar card for for her identification. When bus came to our stop for pickup, conductor denied her to claim bus and used very bad words in local language even for me and thrown my mother's bags. I have mentioned below journey details here for your reference. Kindly take action on him and I need to know the status of this issue.
                                    He need to apologise with my mother and me.

                                      I am travelling from Ernakulam to Bangalore. I booked ladies seat no.11 on 5 Aug, 2023. The passenger who sat behind me was completely drunken and not in consciousness. It was difficult to sit infront of him the drinks smell and sometimes he put hand on my seat. I informed conductor. He even didn't change his seat. And he asked me to sit for sometime and once other passenger leaves he will provide that seat. Please don't allow drunkens behind the ladies seat. It's very difficult to travel. A kind of harrasment against women I felt.
