I was travelling in ka 01 fa 1811, 360 b towards atibelle where the conductor doesn’t have change and asked me to get down on the next stop. I even told him that it would be okay if he give me the change before i get down. Aren’t they suppose to have change almost everytime??? That person is so cruel.
Then i hopped onto the next bus, the conductor does not have change either. But he went to a shop to get the change. How sweet and humble!
So many differences!!

        Dated 18.08.2019 around 6pm near nelmangala toll. We where in toll line suddenly from another line ksrtc bus ka57 f-2742 came to enter our toll line without following q system. During that time they hit our car and went. Since it was raining heavily we didn't come out of car and checked our car condition and even didn't stop the bus for further discussion but took photo of that bus for reference.

            The bus (Airavat club class, semi sleeper, bus no:ka 01 f 9164) in which i was traveling was having a leak near the a/c vent which made my whole journey from kerala to bangalore really uncomfortable. The leak was due to the raining. I have been availing this bus service for past one and a half years and i never had this experience. My seat number was 37. Many other passengers also had this same issue.
            KA 11 F 0192 this conductor is miss behaving with passengers and talking bad words with the passengers plz kindly take action against this conductor

              I am travelling in a/c sleeper bus, belgaum to mysore with my family (8pm bus on 17th august 2019, trip code :2001bgmmys, bus number :2083, depot :belagavi). One of the seats is completely wet, conductor told that probably while washing the bus the window was not closed. How one can be so careless, why there are no standatd procedures for washing the bus. How the washing people can be so insensitive. How to travel in the bus whole night in such condition. We pay thousands of rupees for comfortable travelling, and thiis is the service we get from irresponsible, careless, apathetic, insensible, cold people from ksrtc.
              Any concerned authority is reading this forum? Can i expect a reply?
              I have booked from THIRTHAHALLI to Bangalore on 10-8-19 PNR no is J78238656, trip code 2130. But crew have not picked up the passenger from pick up without even informing thesingle passenger. Please refund and respond quickly

                Hello sir/ madam, i'm a passenger travelling in ksrtc general passenger ka 06 f 1228. I'm traveling from bangalore to shimoga. I got into bus by 1pm & is supposed to reach shimoga by 7.30 max 8.. He says 9pm.. Really it is going very slow stopping the bus in each n every road. When there is high alert on terrorist activity in bangalore this conductor is not even checking the goods dumped by some outsider for delivering the parcel. And is bargaining and taking more money for delivery. More than passengers, bus is full of parcels i don't know how much he'll give to the government and he is so rude with us. Normal traveling time is 6.30 to 7 hrs. Acc to him it's 8 hrs now, bcs of all these additional works done by him. I request you to kindly look into it. Thank you.

                      Tried to post this complaint to the email id mentioned in the grievances forum. ([protected]@ksrtc.org). It could not be delivered since the email is non existent and has been rejected.

                      Below is the full email drafted by me.

                      This is to log a formal complaint regarding the losses occurred to me against pnr j78270999, trip code 1705bngmum.

                      I was scheduled to board from swargate, pune at 7 30 am to mumbai on 15th of august 2019 with my wife.

                      I had spoke to the crew on 14th of aug and they had asked me to contact them on 15th morning to confirm the arrival time. Despite multiple attempts to contact the crew (Between 6:15 am - 8:00 am), i didn't receive any response from their side as the phone was ringing. During this period, i contacted the customer service to get a solution regarding this issue. They gave me a number (Which is claimed to be pune helpline number). Even when i tried that number, there was no response from their side too. I recontacted customer care service, but this time, they were not able to connect my call with a customer care agent.in midst, i tried to contact the crew. Since there was no response from the crew & customer service, i was forced to hire a cab to reach mumbai since i had a flight scheduled. After 8 30 am, i received a call from the crew member to inform us regarding their arrival at pune. By this time we were already in the cab heading towards mumbai. When i asked him regarding the reason why he did not pick the call, he claimed that he was sleeping due to the overnight drive.

                      Please note the fact that the bus was scheduled to arrive at our pick up point at 7 30 am. And he didn't pick the call till 8 am. It would have been a bit helpful if he had taken the call and informed us the status.

                      Overall, this has been an extremely disappointing experience for me and my wife which brought financial loss to us. I demand from the concerned authorities to provide me the complete refund of inr 722 as compensation.

                          I had cancelled my e ticket on 8th August 2019 from Mangalore to Thrissur scheduled on 9th August 2019 which was booked on 6th August 2019. I received message saying they would initiate the refunding process and an amount of ₹452 would be credited to my account within 5 working days. It has been 8 days since and I have not received my refund. PNR number is J78257472. I am attaching the screenshot of the message.
                          Please look into the matter. Hoping for a positive and early response.

                            Reference to the above subject i request you to arrange a special bus non ac sleeper/ac sleeper on festival occasion at around 9.00 pm from majestic.

                            Because all the other normal routine buses will be booked 1 month prior for which later we will be not be having the seats to book.

                            So please look in to this matter and try to arrange some luxury buses with reasonable fare.

                              I booked two tickets from kunnamangalam to mysore for 15 august 2019. The booking was made on 14august2019. the provided OB reference no. is OB4646864 and the tickects were amounting to Rs.537. The tickets were not confirmed as the transaction failed but the amount was deducted from my account at the time of booking. I request you to check the same and refund the amount deducted during the transaction as soon as possible as the tickets
                              were not booked but the amount was deducted. Hope this gets resolved soon and i can get my money back within the shortest possible time.

                                  As bus number ka25f2956 giving service from dharwad to savadatti due to heavy floods the road has been changed and renewed stages are already updated in their ticket issuing system the conductor and driver not stopped bus to any of the bus stops. And the bus was running almost empty. When a raised a question to conductor he was mix behaving. This is why ksrtc in loss.
                                  Need immediate action on this.

I tried reaching ksrtc customer care but there is no response in any of the customer care numbers. It has been 4 days and not one of the numbers mentioned is reachable. Please resolve the issue and refund the full amount.
