    Address: Tumkur

    Hi KSRTC,

    My name is Lokesh, every day i will travel from tumkur to banglore and same day will return banglore to Tumkur becase my job is in banglore.

    On 11/05/2023 at 11:40 pm night me and my brother we were waiting in Jalahalli cross bus stand to travel to tumkur.

    Around 11:45 Shivamogga bus KA14F0067 came and we enter the bus.
    Conductor asked ticket and we said please give 2 ticket to Tumkur.

    Then Conductor started shouting, this bus is not going to Tumkur we will go via Ring road. You should ask before entering the bus, this bus is additional one and selam vehicle, only for you guys we cannot go to tumkur city like this he was argueing with us.

    Then i said Sir Tumkur is the District connectivity you should not say like this. This bus should enter Tumkur and you have to do entry in bus stand i said like this.

    After also he said, Driver is alone you should understand. like this he was argueing with us.

    After many conversation He gave the Ticket.

    I request KSRTC to Take strict action on This Bus Conductor and let us know why he is not allowing Tumkur passangers. Day time we have options but night time if busses are not enter the Tumkur city how to travel Tumkur passangers.

    Kundly revert the reason and let me know what action has been taken for the bus conductor.

    Regards.

      Address: Hubli to Dharwad

      Dear Sir/Madam,

      I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and disappointment regarding an incident that occurred on 19 May 2023 at approximately 11:40PM at night involving one of your bus conductors. I feel it is important to bring this matter to your attention.

      On the aforementioned date and time, I, along with my brother and my 6 months old baby, approached the bus numbered KA26 F7816 with the intention to board and reach Dharwad. However, to our dismay, the bus conductor on duty refused to allow us to board the bus saying the bus will leave from there after 12:30.

      Furthermore, when questioned about the route and destination, the conductor provided inaccurate information, leading us to believe that the bus would follow a specific route. However, after we boarded the bus, it became evident that the conductor has misled us. And it go via Dharwad only.

      We relied on the bus service to transport us to our desired destinations promptly and efficiently, only to be met with an uncooperative conductor who not only denied us entry but also gave misleading route information.

      I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against the bus conductor involved. It is imperative that your staff members understand the importance of providing accurate information and ensuring that passengers are treated with respect and fairness.

      Failure to address this matter appropriately may result in the escalation of this complaint to the relevant consumer protection authorities and the sharing of my negative experience with other potential customers.

      I trust that you will address this complaint promptly and take the necessary measures to improve your services..

        Dear sir/Madam

        My wife with 2 children's travelled from Guntur to Sindhanur on 17th may 2023 With ticket PNR Number H93744758, Bus No: KA37 F774. I regret to travel in KSRTC Due to rash driver who consumed alcohol and drive the bus very rashly and even almost hit the trucks coming in opposite direction twice and also quarreled with a truck driver once.
        Even the ticket collector argued with my wife after boarding the bus for not booking a ticket for my son who is 5years and 10 months old. I went to pick up my wife and children from bus stand at Sindhanur on 18th may 2023 morning and complained at bus stand about the issue but the staff at bus stand supported the driver and abused me. this type of harsh behavior is becoming common in KSRTC bringing shame to the organization and our state as-well.
        I wish you would look into this matter seriously and take corrective action to safe guard the passengers lives, public property and the Organization pride.

            Address: Ramalingeshwara Layout, Raichur

            With reference to the above subject and complaint on RTI as well as PG Portal by ref No. MORTH/E/[protected], I have been working as Manager in Raichur for a Rural Water Supply Project and I have booked ticket through KSRTC online booking vide PNR No. J93617060 for my journey from Raichur to Harihara via Non AC Sleeper at 19:01 and date of journey is 13.5.2023. I have booked seat No. 8 on the Assile side and before Window seat was booked but it was not showing the Gender. Later near Manvi one Lady passenger occupied the seat beside me and asked me to vacate the seat. The conductor also asked me to vacate and there was no seat available in bus and I have been asked to sit in cabin even after booking for sleeper. Normally ladies seats are highlighted with yellow colour and I am unable to find that it is booked by ladies. The whole night I was forced to sit in the cabin and the same day there was a return journey to Raichur and I have suffered a lot and am still suffering from back pain. Before filing a petition in such a case I am hereby asking for whom I have to hold responsible for such an incident. Please note the date I have travelled by Bus No. KA 19 F 3553. As the conductor and drivers provided me a seat in the cabin but I am fully eligible for compensation for vacating me from the seat. I will also raise this issue through Public Grievance and awaiting for favourable response.

                Last night I have travelled in KSRTC BUS from HYD to BNG. There are lot of small cockroaches at the passenger seats which caused sleepless night for me and my 10 year old daughter. How many times I tried to throw from the seat they were coming while we were sleeping. When I asked for seat change, I was told that cockroaches are there in entire bus. Request you to take the action immediately and make sure the passengers' journey is safe. Below are the bus and trip details.

                  The above mentioned itinerary was to depart from the destination at 1 pm but the bud arrived at the bus stop at 1.30 and the staff said that there is fault in the bus and can’t continue with the further route. And they don’t have replacement . This caused a great deal of inconvenience in my further commitments both financially and emotionally

                          Dear Sir/Madam,

                          I am writing to express my disappointment and concern regarding the unavailability of buses and the severe overcrowding issue I experienced during my recent journey from Kushtagi to Lingasugur on the afternoon of Friday, 12th May 2023.

                          According to the information I received, there was a bus scheduled to depart at 4:15 PM. However, despite patiently waiting until 4:55 PM, the bus failed to arrive. It was disheartening to observe the lack of adherence to the published time chart for bus availability. This lack of punctuality not only inconveniences passengers but also raises questions about the reliability and efficiency of the transportation system.

                          To my dismay, when the bus finally arrived, I discovered that it was already filled to capacity. Passengers were compelled to stand throughout the entire journey, resulting in an uncomfortable and unsafe traveling experience. Considering the number of individuals left stranded due to the overcrowding, it is evident that there was a significant oversight in the planning and organization of this particular route.

                          I kindly request that the appropriate authorities take immediate action to address these issues. It is crucial to ensure the timely arrival and departure of buses as per the published schedule. Additionally, measures should be implemented to avoid overcrowding, such as arranging additional buses when necessary or increasing the frequency of trips during peak hours.

                          I believe it is essential to maintain a high standard of service for public transportation, as it directly impacts the convenience and well-being of the passengers. It is my hope that my complaint will be thoroughly investigated, and necessary steps will be taken to rectify these problems, preventing them from recurring in the future.

                          Please find below my contact details for any further communication or updates regarding this matter:

                          Name: Aravind Reddy

                          Yours sincerely,

                              Hello This is Akash
                              I am travelling to koppal from Bangalore in ksrtc bus,
                              Due to election they are charging the fare like anything
                              They took 500/- per ticket
                              And that too not computerised ticket
                              They gave me plucked tickets.
                              This is not good,

                              Government says us to Vote
                              But government only taking advantage of this and collecting more money

                              Please give me justice for my travel.

                              Thanks and Regards
                              Akash

                              I called customer care
                              They said leave this bus and go in private bus and it was very rude.

                                  On 09.05.2023, due to election, the government has taken most of the buses. Therefore, we passengers faced a problem to go to Tumkur from bangalore due to shortage of buses. At last, we got one BMTC bus, which goes to Tumkur but the conductor is charging extra 20 rupees from bangalore to Tumkur. Usually ksrtc buses charges 80 rupees and now, bmtc is charging 100 rupees. This is truly harassment. We are paying for someone else's fault. Did we ask them to take buses for election? What kind of administration is this? You are going to loose so many votes due to this. We believed that government is helpful but what is this now? Why should we pay extra 20 rupees for not fault of ours? We are really disappointed from this. I am not going to vote to this government. Seriously!! Give us the explanation.
