I had booked tirupathi-kalahasthi package through ksrtc website in which there was an option to book for kstdc package.
Trip was cancelled by kstdc since there was no minimum number of passengers for the trip scheduled on nov16.
Its been almost one monthe they have not issued refund whenever i call them they are saying its processing but still i haven't received the amount 7700

After calling n number of times and emailing them there is no response from ksrtc or kstdc.

      I had booked a bus from tirupathi to bengaluru on dec 7th 2019.
      Pnr#j80484612
      Bus no: f 3596.

      Due to traffic jam near tirupathi bus stand i could not reach on time and was delayed by 15 mins. My schedule reporting time was 18:15 but i reached 18:40. I requested the driver to wait, unfortunately he was abusive and did not wait for picking up the passenger.

      I understand that i was not on time but being abusive is not acceptable. Also, i'm a regular traveller in ksrtc bus from hubballi to bengaluru and vice-versa.in many cases, i have seen passenger coming late and we waited for him to board the bus.

      It is really unacceptable to not wait for devotees who visit spiritual places like tirupathi and shirdi and are delayed by unforeseen circumstances.

      I would like you to take corrective action against the conductor and also request you to refund my bus fare.
      Scamster by name rajshekhar called me from [protected], saying he is from KSRTC and tried to get my details of card using cvv. Be-careful of such scamster as they are reading our consumer complaint and getting our registered mobile number.
      The driver of non stop bus from Bangalore to mysore dropped us all of 12 passengers after crossing mandya district. In highway he started stopping many other buses and asked them to take us without a reason. Also Forced us to get into other bus creating much havoc & problem

          On 05th september 2019.

          The seats are unconfirmed but the amount of 950 ₹ got deducted from the bank account.
          Bank support team has confirmed (Via email) that the amount is successfully deposited into the ksrtc account (Photos of the email attached).
          But, ksrtc support team is telling that they have not received any amount (Refusing to send email for the same) & are not refunding the amount.

          It's been 2 months since the amount got deducted and i didn't get the refund yet.

          Please help me to get the resolution.
          Thanking you.

            Hi,
            I wanted to report of rash driving of ksrtc bus of number ka57f1617 on date 1st december 2019 near chittor bypass. The road is under construction and narrow, there is no scope for overtaking. But your driver is doing very seriously rash driving and it's a very narrow escape from accident. I have followed the bus for 2 kms and all through the way he was very rash. Please take feedback from passengers of the bus as well. Within those 2kms he was about to do 3 or 4 accidnets. Every one on the raod was scolding your driver. I got respect towards ksrtc and i am a regular user of your services for long travels like pune.

            Thanks and regards

              I tried to book ticket from ksrctc website. The money 391 got debited from account but the website showed transaction error. I want a refund of this money and my ticket also didn't get booked. My ob reference number of failed transaction is ob40796344. I want a refund for this amount as soon as possible. The website holds no record of failed transaction this is disappointing.

                Website: www.consumercomplaints.in

                The ksrtc bus driver didnt stop the bus on the the main bus stop in assaigoli, mudipi, mangalore, as he was overdriving other private bus and told us people (Who were in the bus stop) with a sign to hog on to that private bus! Everyone in that bus stand were pissed including me. And the worst scenario, i was late for my certain something. Very disappointed on ksrtc people and this isn't the first time this happening which is why i wanted to register this complain.

                      Sir,
                      I am Shivasharanappa, I booked a ticket, for journey date 27/11/2019, from Mumbai to Kalaburagi boarding time 1600hrs at Mumbai and arrival time will be 0455hrs on next day.
                      I have to attend an important work on 28/11/2019, I thought it's better to travel by government enterprise bus service, but it's an worst experience that the bus is operated like an city bus and not maintaining any given time schedule.
                      I requested the driver Mr. Mohamed Gouse sab, who is operating the bus to please maintain the time. His feedback was very worst and he quaralled with me .
                      But after hard talk by driver, it is understood that daily it will be operated in this fashion only.
                      Necessary action to be taken in this regard and compansation should be given to passengers, for wasting thier valuable time.
                      And also proper training to be given to driver, how to behave with fellow passengers.
                      Hope necessary action will be taken in this regard

                        I am hariharan from bangalore, i booked a ticket today at 6:16 am from shanthi nagar to gudalur for a business trip. I almost paid 5 times and the amount got deducted, however, the online ticket was not generated due to which i lost my huge amount.

                        I request the team to refund my amount.

                        Below are the details

                        178328 - rs -1242.

                        Total = 2205 + 1242 = 3447 (Refund)

                          I boarded bus in the kr puram bus stop towards to kolar, conductor had collected rs, 67 instead of 52 and arguing with passengers like there is no kr puram stage included, tickets will starts from majestic only.
                          Please requesting you to look into this concern and try to solve the issue,
                          Because not only this bus many busses runs to tirupathi has been doing same thing.

                          This is regarding uniformity of Bus fare. Some of the buses charged Rs 51 for Hiriyur to Chitradurga. Example Koppal depo Bus which is arrived at 700 AM.Bengaluru to Yalburga. Most of the Depo Buses charged only 50
                          Concerned competent authority to do needful action for uniformity Bus fare.
                          We have student bus pass but many buses which allows passes are not stopping in our stop.we are not able to reach our destinations

                              I had booked a bus from hassan to bangalore. The bus number is f799. Trip code is 1201ckmbng. It was airavat club class.
                              1. The first seat do not have a proper handle.
                              2. The bus got into trouble from kunigal and moved at 20kmph speed.
                              3. This is the same bus i am travelling for the second time and it is high time that ksrtc does proper servicing
                              4. I had booked a flight at 7.30 p. M. The bus was supposed to reach at 5.15. But it was still at kunigal at 5.00
                              5. And there are no proper services for the bus.
                              6. The seats had got rusted and the movement of the seats were very tight.
