To the in charge officer of ksrtc.
Sir, even though particular seats are named under special categories like women old age freedom fighters, specially challenged in Ksrtc buses, these are occupied by other people. Especially women seats by men.
Please take into effect..

      I am traveling in 1p. M bus on 3rd of march. But the air condition in not working from the time we boarded bus. It’s been too hot inside and the bus is full. The reason we travel in airavata is because of it’s comfort and a. C but when the a. C itself is not in good state why should we pay so much for it when it feels like a normal karnataka sarige bus.
      This is against the law. If there is no action taken i will have to take the next step.

        I tried booking a ticket in ksrtc.in from Bangalore to thalassery, i was taken through online banking where 1039 was deducted but the seat is not booked. I didn't receive a confirmation/failure message on booking but money was deducted. To check on this, i called the customer care, took the number from ksrtc portal. i was kept waiting for more than 15min in the call to be answered by any customer care executive but my call was not taken by anyone in customer care. I could not find any way to reach out to ksrtc to get my money refunded. I want my money refunded. OB reference number of failure booking is OB42441960

          Address: Bidar, Karnataka, 585401

          I travelled from bhel circle, hyderabad to bidar on 29/2/2020. The ticket was charged with ₹140. When asked conductor shyamrao he said fare was increased to ₹170 per ticket to hyd. Then i asked in that case from fare from bhel should have raised from ₹131 to max 135 and not ₹140. Today 2/3/2020 i am going hyderabad so fare has not raised.
          It’s just to raise their own collection tickets are being over charged. Best part is bus no on the ticket and the bus you travel too will be different.
          My question is how you are going to stop the over charging in government buses as i have experienced. I can send you the photo copy of the ticket, please provide me mail to contact

          The fare from BDR-HYD has not increased and is only 166/167, but there is no logic of increasing the from BHEL TO BIDAR from ₹131 to ₹140. I just want to know the reason of increase in fair. As said earlier the bus no on ticket and bus I am traveling doesn’t match today as well.

          I was travelling from gudalur to gundalpet in Karnataka state bus, I had given 500rs to conductor, he told he doesn't have change and he miss behaved and mentally harresed me... Am personally and mentally been harresed in front of other passanger bus number :KA-14-F-0060

              Hi

              I travelled from marathahalli to kundhanahalli gate in a bus which goes to itpl. The probably time could be 1.00 pm.
              The driver received money for myself and my friend but didn't give the ticket. After few mins i asked again he said he will give but didn't give me till i got down. Same happens for the person who sat near me.

              I think it is putting the passenger at risk in case of checking and also cheating the government.

              The ksrtc should take appropriate measures to overcome these.

              Thank you.

                  Ksrtc bus, from mysore to bangalore.

                  I am a doctor working at mims, mandya.

                  The conductor of the above mentioned bus, on 1 march 2020, at 8 am, kicked off my luggage with his foot while i was trying to board the bus. This behavior is unacceptable.
                  We use public transport for convenience. We pay for it. We are not anybody's slave here.
                  Kindly look into the matter and request you to take a strict action.

                        Dear sir/madam,

                        Instruction your crew members to behave properly. My home is in lakkasandra. I've requested to stop the bus in lakkasandra bus stop but your crew member told can't stop. This is not bmtc bus.

                        After so much argument only he stopped the bus. He's telling after st john's, only shanthi nagar is next bus stop.

                        Please instruct your crew members of all the ksrtc buses to stop in all the bus stops as per the passanger request inside the city limit.

                        Note: investigate and reply to this concern to continue your service.

                            I am a frequent traveler from honnavar to talguppa so as to catch a train (16228) towards bengaluru.

                            There were earlier two buses plying from honnavar to sagar, i. E @ 4.15pm & 5.15pm. But surprisingly the 4.15pm bus has been cancelled & we need to rely only on the later bus. Much of the travelers would here be to catch the train in time without much hussle. But due to some wrong decision its quite uncomfortable to all the passengers to reach the destination in time. The reason is a cranky driver & the honnavar ksrtc depot manager, who had cancelled the 4.15pm bus & put all the passengers into trouble to reach their destination in time.
                            The destination is around 74 km with a charge of rs 83/- the time to reach talguppa would be around 2 hours. But unfortunately, i had a nightmare travel (Ka-17 f-1576) on thursday, 20th feb 2020 where we had a driver who drove so well that he took more than 3 hours to reach talguppa (5.15pm to 8.16pm) wherein my train was scheduled at 8.20pm... Just feel about the tension with the travelers especially the families & ladies relying on this only bus. Similar situation with the passengers who had train from sagara.

                            Please take appropriate actions so as to ease the fate of the travelers plying this route.
                            1. Two buses required as scheduled earlier.
                            2. Proper bus driver well versed in ghat section driving. (The bus travels via jog falls & kargil).
                            3. Proper schedules & drivers maintained.
                            4. Any mishap with the bus during the journey, no back up since no follow up buses along this route.

                            Thanks & regards.

                              I am travelling from belagavi to hyderabad by airawat bus no 2276. Pnr no. T81778714. Dt 20th feb 2020. It is 11:07 pm now and the driver and the conductor refuse to switch off the blue led lights saying it is an order from higher authorities and the ladies might face problems... My question is how i am supposed to sleep with these supposed to be night lights on? These blue led lights are very bright and i can hardly sleep.. This is my second trip by ksrtc. My previous travel was very comfortable as there was no issue like this. My last travel was on 16th feb 2020 from hyderabad to belagavi. Bus no 2275. Request your early action on this

                                Manglore depo has no bus in rout o[censored]ppinangady to manglore.
                                So many passengers are struggling in following route.
                                Buses are not put in the route because of people from private busses are putting more pressure on depo manager.
                                Students, elders, handicap people are not able to use their right of passes given to them.
                                Please solve this issue. Put busses in
                                Uppinangady to manglore route this will solver many passengers problem
                                Thank you

                                    Vayu vajra bus route no kias-7a bound to hsr bda complex does not stop at military dairy farm bus stop. Instead the driver mr ramzan stopped the bus in middle of a 4 lane bellary road highway and expects commuters to cross roads in busy traffic to get into bus. The bus conductor mr ashok justifies this by stating busy traffic for not coming to bus stop.. Today a senior citizen couple almost risked their lives crossing traffic to get into bus before it started moving. On being questioned the conductor was rude and unapologetic. This happens daily at military dairy farm bus stop especially with vayu vajra buses. Request the concerned officials to address the complaint with due attention. Thanks

                                      My son and i traveled to coorg in ksrtc - airavat club class 8 am bus from bangalore to kushalnagar on saturday, 15th feb 2020.
                                      This was one of the most scariest bus ride of my life as we found our driver falling of asleep while he was driving.
                                      My son noticed this as we were sitting in front seat 3 & 4. I was so scared i immediately asked the driver to stop the bus and wash his face. He said he did not even have water to wash his face. When i said i can give him, he said there is a hotel close by and he will stop there.
                                      I kept talking to him after that and asked him how he can be so irresponsible and can kill us all. He said the department is over working him, he is not given enough time to sleep well as his duty ends late midnight and starts at 7 am.
                                      The funny part is, it was a one man show. He was the only man collecting tickets, loading the luggage and driving the bus. He had lots of advantage due to this as i could see he was making money from some passengers who wanted to get down in the middle of the journey. He was also letting fruit sellers in ramanagara to enter the bus and sell so that he gets free packets of pineapple and cucumber to munch on.
                                      He was driving the bus at 40 and 60 as he was feeling sleepy. Bus left the station on time at 8 am but i reached kushalnagar only at 4.15 pm, yes there was a traffic jam till kumblagode as there was a minor accident and we wasted 1 hr 20 mins.
                                      He even rammed into a scooter near hunsoor as he could not apply breaks at the right time as he was falling asleep. Luckily nothing happened to the lady in the scooter.
                                      Kindly look into this matter very seriously and remove this driver from this route and never put him alone as he takes advantage of it. At first he was constantly on the phone talking to his family members about some money lending problems. Talking on the phone is also dangerous. He is too old to do a one man show too.
                                      If this is not resolved and i see him again in that bus, i am taking up this complaint to the next level and will be using other social media too.

                                        I am from sira - 572137 and frequently travel to bangalore. It is really hard to get a bus to bangalore and tumkur on monday mornings. 100s of students travel every day but still bus facility is so bad that students have to miss classes sometimes exams. Controller is rude and receive no response when asked about any service.

                                        This improper and rude behavior of ksrtc sira bus stop controller is making everyone to suffer and especially students. Students have done many strikes but no results ☹️. There is no proper person to whom people can reach out to. Looking for proper action from you!.

                                        Thanks in advance!
