Address: 560103

Today morning, I was travelling in Karnataka SRTC bus. The bus number was KA 57 F 2113 and the conductor was a lady.
I gave her a hundred rupee note as I didn't find any change in my pocket.
And the conductor(which was a lady), asked me to give change. I politely replied I didn't have any. Then she rudely said I "Either you give the change or you get out of the bus." She made it sound like I was intentionally trying to travel for free.
I felt greatly insulted in front of all the other travelers. She made me look like a thief in front of all the travelers.It was very embarrassing. I feel like my whole day is ruined. She have no respect for others.
Out of luck I just happen to have one 10 rupee note somewhere in my bag.
What happened to customer is king? At least they shouldn't treat customers like dogs.
Please take necessary action against her. Ask conductors to behave.
Hoping for a good response.

    The driver of bus no: ka 06 0892 is being acting rudely towards the passengers as he has been given the duty of both driver n conductor and he is telling that the depot manager of tumkur depot will harass him if he don't pay certain revenue and also put in some charges of penalty.. So he is telling that till he gets the seats filled up he won't get ride us to bamgalore... Is this the way the corporation works? Or in which rule of your corporation u have stated this rule? Please take the necessary action to the driver and concerned people... He is also trying to scare away the people by overspeeding and rash driving please check the gps of the vehicle regarding this issue... And i need a copy of the action taken of this regard to the mail i'd [protected]@gmail.com or else it will be taken to the next level

              Dear sir/madam,

              Mysore to kanakapura and malavalli to kanakapura both buss are not given stop in thorekadanahalli (T k halli) stop even bus was fully free and passengers are requested for stop. They are least bother about the passengers. 8:00 am 8:15 am these two buses passes the stop. Their behaviour like they are the owners of public transport.

              Because of these people many passengers, students and employees are troubled like anything, hope this complaint ksrtc will take seriously and take action on these ksrtc employees.

              Hope further these kind will not repeat.

              Thanks and regards,
              Sushma
              Really disappointing, Didn't not received any replay answer from ksrtc? Then why simply giving complaint portal given if system not ready to take action. Feeling like ksrtc higher system only not good then how can we expect ground people work properly, its Ridiculous.

                I was supposed to board the bus from electronic city at 10 pm on 28th june. Bus was running late, (Friday traffic can understand).

                But the crew wasn’t picking up the calls, sometimes phone is switched off. Service we get from the crew is really bad.

                Finally boarded the bus at 11.45, was hoping the driver would compensate the lost hours by gaining a little more speed in open highways. But no luck, the bus was going like a snail. The co-driver was sleeping on the berth 1 and berth 2 lavishly. For some reason he wasn’t awake the whole journey and the other driver was driving the bus like it was a fully loaded truck.

                Highly disappointing

                  Dear sir/madam,

                  I have been observing from long time that ksrtc bus's stop for dinner somewhere outside city even for short distance.

                  I can relate to stop for dinner at hotels which are outside city that if the distance between 2 bus stands are long and if it is late night.

                  Right now i am travel to kushtagi from hospet. Bus started from hospet at 8pm and next bus stand is at kushtagi which is about 60kms. Hotels where still open in bus stand at hospet.
                  Now they have stopped at hotel sagar just around at 20km from hospet.

                  Why is this happening for long time for wasting passengers time even when it is for short distance?
                  What bus drivers and conductors are not encouraging hotels which are in bus stand?
                  If the employees of ksrtc does encourage then who will?

                  If you guys are not able to solve this issue or not in your hands then please let me know to where to reach out?

                      Bribe-daily ritual of what I call bribe taking in short routes. It deprives state of significant amount of funds. It is been 6months in banglore, I am travelling on a very short route from naghrabhavi to Chandra layout. I don't say all but most of them will try to give me back 2 rupees if I give 5 rupees.And very less people demand tickets when conductors are itself behave like this. Conductors used to fight when I ask for ticket instead of their ritual of bribe taking...they often site unnecessary reasons to forgo ticket culture in shortest routes...one of them is 'No change' .It is not about single citizen or single route...but in most of shortest routes, it is daily happening.So I request authorities to go for checkups in shortest routes frequently than in longer routes.Because, in longer routes conductors tend to give tickets but that is not in shortest routes.

Depot bus the driver is too bad it is an ordinary express it is not a non-stop bus he says that if he live in hoskote he will give give stop in chintamani. If we ask why he will say note bus number an complaint he doesn't have any fear about higher authority he is too worst ksrtc driver so i request the highest authority of ksrtc to resolve this issue and take action against the driver.

                            Today, myself along with my parents were traveling in KSRTC bus no. KA-57, F-766 from Pavagada to Bengaluru. We had a luggage bag consists of Ragi weighing 40kgs. For this conductor has changed Rs. 42/- and said that it is for 2 units of luggage. I tried to explain her that each person can carry 30kgs. If the luggage is above the limit, then they can change for the extra luggage. But she didn't accept my Attunement. I showed the rules of carrying luggage from the official website of ksrtc. https://www.ksrtc.in/pages/luggage-rates.html
                            But she didn't convinced. So I'm hereby requesting you to resolve this issue and repay me the excess charged amount. Else I may need to raise this issue in "consumer court"
                            Pls do needful.
                            I have enclosed the photo of the tickets and screen shot of the website for reference.

                              Dear sir/madam,

                              We have a bus stop in hmt for ksrtc buses but few drivers are opposing to stop by given some reason but the same driver stop in multiple location even after the bus is non stop to tumkur. I travel late night and it is difficult to come to home from others stops due to safety. I need corrective actions on this immediately and ensure future all tumkur bangalore are stopped in hmt

                              Thanks
                              Chavan

                                  The stoppage time is more then 10 mins in each and every bus stop from hospet to shimoga. There is no responsibility and they won't care for any one. They stop whenever they require. Please do take this issue seriously. The bus leaves from hospete to dharmasthala. It took more than 6 hours to cover a distance of 198km from hospete to shimoga. Please take this matter seriously. Thank you

                                        Der Sir/Madam,
                                        I am karthik here i want to goto mysore to srirangapatna on 23/060/2019.
                                        This bus strating point from cbs to srirangapatna (Ramaswamy circle) is also a stop to pickup or drop stand, i am waiting for 10:55 for this route bus 307 he came but didn't stoped on Ramaswamy circle, i call him and raise my hand didn't stoped so, i am 28 year old, if grand person if there on my situation or outstation person is there what should they do, like this irresponsible employee(driver/conductor) i want to dismiss that driver and conductor as per rules and regulations. I visit to main branch they not ready to give that bus no, we can't able to find out. You just go outside take one a4 ablank sheet write down on that give me they told like that not respond correctly. KSRTC management doesn't have a single sheet to write a compliment on that. We never give sheet. I[censored] write a compliment you buy it from outside, i never belive on if they take action so help me, any one doesn't face like this problem in feature so. I call to my srirangapatna friend and take that bus number, he gave that number please take some action on them as per government rules.
                                        Vehicle no is -----KA09F5219
                                        If i call to customer care also phone number not valid. In online also doesn't update correct phone numbers. Government services happen like this what they will do ther simple jobs.

                                        Each and every person doesn't burden like me.

                                        Thanking you
