    I had booked three tickets from hubbali to bangalore with pnr t74877620 date 4-feb-19. The ticket booking was done in official ksrtc website. One among the seats was selected as a single upper middle seat with seat number 24. As per the website 24 corresponded to the middle single seat but in actual 24 corresponded to a double seat. It is very uncomfortable for a passenger to travel in a double sleeper seat with another unknown person. For this purpose we always select seats using the layout that is shown to us while booking. Amidst of all the offers and discounts provided by private travels we relay on govt transportation to ensure a smooth travel journey.
    Request you to show the layout of the bus as it is in reality to avoid these kind of situations.

        Hi,

        We started from bangalore today 01\02\2019 at 8.30pm from bangalore and we are 2persons took ticket from bangalore to channarayapattna, we gave 400 hundred and the ticket charge is 308 rs for 2persons and we gave 10rs more and he returned 100rs (Not 102rs). Bus stopped next to kunigal for refreshment and unfortunately we dropped our ticket which is our fault we agree and some how conductor got the ticket from that location. Bas started and conductor came in search of thos 2persons who lost the ticket and he get to know that it was us, he asked us to take the ticket then we were ready to take and we gave 300rs to conductor then he went back and came back with our ticket itself then we asked him this is our ticket then he raised his voice and returned 200rs. He kept 100rs.

        Ticket number: 174849
        Bus number: ka06 f 1080for

          Hi,

          I wanted you to explain the problem which many o[censored]s are facing from many days due to less number of buses on weekends.

          Please arrange more buses on weekends (Friday) from bangalore to kolar as there will be a huge crowd on those days.

          People are facing serious issues getting into buses on friday evenings, which makes a huge terrific near tin factory causing lot of problems.

          Hope my concern will be satisfied:)

          Thanks,
          I was traveling from tiptur to Bangalore and the conductor took me and my mom in telling that there was a seats and when we came in there are no seats when I asked the conductor he was very rude and didn't provide a seat and told me to adjust and when we already bought the tkt we are helpless so plz have a look at this

            I traveled in this bus from thirupathi to bengaluru on wednesday 30th january 2018. Bus started at 3 pm from thirupathi towards bengaluru.
            Initially lookwise bus looks very good but the mechanical condition of the bus is worst and horrible. It is not me alone almost all in the bus felt that they are been cheated by paying to it.
            Especially the back suspension of the bus is horribly rattling and vibrating, almost all the push back seats back rests are automatically reclining back even without adjustments and we felt very uncomfortable.
            Driver was driving at very low speed, almost all luggage carriers were overtaking us.
            Overall experience was very bad and pathetic.
            Please take care of this. If possible return the fare we have paid for such a lousy experience.

            Thanks

                  Dear sir,
                  I am traveling from gadag to laxmeswar from your bus no. Ka 26f 890 at 8.15 am from gadag,. Wide ticket no. 101928. Bus was not having 2 window glasses. At seat no. 22-23 reserved for senior citizens. When i questioned conductor she told i have informed depot management to fit glass., but they did not take seriously. I even asked for blankets, she says.
                  Because starting 4 rows occupied by passengers, but back side all childrens ladies and kids where struggling to travel in this chill climate.
                  I hope you officers get privileged bus and seats to travel, but normal passengers give full money and pay for your mistakes, or taking it granted. Or not travel by ksrtc bus because you get cars for your family. But poor people struggle to pay even your hiking prices every now and then.
                  So kindly make it right for even common passengers.
                  Hope god gives you good knowledge to correct system.
                  Thanking you

                            I was traveling from dharmasthala to moodbidri by ksrtc bus on[protected]. I boarded the bus at dharmasthala. The bus was travelling from dharmasthala to badami. The bus registration number ka-29 f 1468 n w k r t c. The bus started at 3:20 p. M. From dharmasthala.
                            I asked to the conductor “is this bus going to moodbidri?” while boarding the bus. The conductor replied “yes. This bus is going to badami via moodbidri”. I boarded the bus and seated in front row behind the driver seat. Conductor came near to me and asked my destination station to issue the ticket. I replied “issue a ticket to moodbidri”. The conductor issued ticket to murudeshwar and forced me to pay rs.222. I asked him i am going to moodbidri and the ticket cost may be around rs.60. The conductor refused to take rs.60 and demanded to pay rs.222. He argued that what he had done is right. The driver and the co-driver added their voice and supported to the conductor. The conductor acts like a rowdy man. I disappointed from his behaviour. I informed him i get down from the bus at next station and catch other private bus to moodbidri. Suddenly he behaved like a cruel. He caught the collar of my shirt and abused with the vulgar word like “soolemaga”. I told the conductor that i pay only rs.60 that is the actual charge from dharmasthala to moodbidri but i did not have the exact change of 60. I paid rs.110 to the conductor and asked change of rs.50. Conductor took my ticket back at moodbidri and refuse to give change of rs.50. He forced me to get down from the bus. I lost rs.50 and suffered with harassment by the ksrtc bus employees.

                            This is the behaviour of the ksrtc bus conductor. How can a common man use ksrtc service?

                              I tried to book a e-ticket on[protected] from Kayamkulam to Bangalore through KSRTC's website using SBI Internet banking facility. The travelling date is[protected].

                              The amount Rs.1141.0 was deducted from the SBI account on[protected]. The transaction reference number generated is OB35324732.

                              I would like to get the ticket amount to be refunded and would like to know the status of the ticket - whether it is booked or not.

                                This particular bus conductor do not provide change and tickets for short distance travelling,. As i had observed several times he do not gives ticket for less than 50rs for regular costumers.
                                Please take a strict action on this conductor

                                Bus which was travelling from chikmaglur to hornad via balehonnur at 9:30am on 23/01/2019 on friday.

                                The conductor argues that he cannot give tickets for short distance and keeps the remaining change for himself.

                                I request the authorized person to take action on such conductors

                                  Its so frustrating to see a premium government like ksrtc having this kind o[censored]n-comfortness, un-cleanliness.

                                  I booked a sleeper (From-bangalore; to-hyderabad), last row, lower berth. Like every customer, i thought it will be neat and i'll be having a comfortable journey. To my surprise, that seat was utter unclean, so much of dust on the seat, glass window. That whole night i had a horrible experience with dust, smoke from below berth, so hot it was. I can literally feel dust falling on my face, hot smoke coming from below the berth. Could not even sleep for an hour. I got severe body pains, no sleep at all so much of distress.
                                  We are paying for a comfortable journey, this kind of experience is not acceptable at all. Very very frustrating & disappointed.

                                    We were in a bus travelling from hubli to hyderabad we are frequent travellers in this route and by ksrtc buses. Every time the bus stops at some remote village dhaba for dinner. The hotel is in pathetic stage with broken roofs, rats running around the food and kitchen. Any one who is councious of his health and food would not eat at this place. When asked the driver and conductor they said it is the order from his higher-ups to stop at this hotel. I request the authorities to take action on this and stop the lobby as it would affect passengers health in a very bad manner. Surprisingly none of the passengers are at this hotel apart from driver and conductor then you can imagine the poor state of the hotel.
