I had booked a ticket and travelled in in your fly bus number ka 57 f 2886 (Scheduled from manipal to bangalore international airport) from suratkal to kempegowda bus station, bangalore on november 8, 2018 vide pnr:j73273655 with trip code 1900cdpbial. As per the message received, the mobile number of the crew is [protected]. The scheduled departure from suratkal was 20.45.
I am senior citizen of 62 years of age travelled along with wife. I am a regular traveler in your bus since 40 years and have a high regard with the organization particularly with regard to punctuality and contingency plan. However, i had to share my displeasure meted out by your crew and also pecuniary loss suffered because of irresponsible and ill-informed crew members of that particular vehicle.
1. Though the scheduled departure of the bus was 20.45, the bus reached the stop late by well over 25 minutes. Addition to that the crew members stopped in a different place away from the regular bus stop causing inconvenience.
2. Finally, as bolt form the blue, to my dismay your crew members refused entry to me to the bus as i was carrying a small can of coconut oil. I used to carry the oil in my earlier trips also and nobody had refused so far. When i told him that this being edible oil and not in the banned list as per the ksrtc web site, the arrogant crew members blatantly said that you have to disembark or keep the oil out and get in to the bus. As i had to reach bangalore, i had no alternative solution and therefore i left the can in the road side and travelled in the bus. When i told him that i will make a complaint he replied that i can complaint with anybody, and i have the instructions for not to allow but do not have the documentary evidence. Because i left my can of coconut oil on the road side, i suffered a loss of rs. 2000/- being the cost of oil.
3. Therefore, i request you to give clear written instructions to your crew members and compensate me for the pecuniary loss suffered by me.

    The bus which starts at 8.30 from bangalore to calicut shows reaching time as 1.30 at sulthan bathery. But the fact is that it holds two times as one hour in mysore and 20 minutes in gundlepet. What is the sense behind stopping frequently at two places for? It takes more time and never reach the destination on mentioned time. Which makes at most difficulty to the pasenger. Neither i nor i will suggest a person to travel in thus bus

      Hi, i have send an email to '[protected]@ksrtc.org' regarding my refund amount for failed transaction but no response. I called the account team but no one picking up the call. I called call center multiple times but couldn’t able to talk to any one as it always says all the customer care representatives are busy attending others.

      I have booked the ticket online as a guest user.
      Transaction got failed but amount got deducted from bank account.
      Here are the details. Online transaction reference no: ob33821351
      Maild : [protected]@gmail.com
      Transaction date: 25 th october 2018

      Even after 7 working days this amount is not refunded to my account. Please do the needful to revert the money,

          I booked a seat in the Karnataka ksrtc bus from Kottayam to Bengaluru. When I booked the ticket, there were only 2 window seats. I booked seat no. 44 on the left which was just in front of the back row . When I boarded the bus I see that seat 44 is the seat in the back row next to window seat. The bus conductor has no information. What happened? Don't you think passengers should be kept informed about such changes?

            I travelled from panaji to hubli on 4th nov in rajahamsa 230pm bus and reached hubli around 715 and found out that the bag (With name mysore tarpaulins on it) which i had kept in luggage compartment (Backside) of the bus was missing. Conductor had no clue who took it. He called few people and said he cannot help more.
            Kindly make sure to mark the bags with seat number or name and give it to right person at the end point.

              This complaint is regarding the bus conductor in the bus ka-57-f-2023.
              This bus's destination is bypanahalli metro. But it takes different according to the drivers mood. When i asked the conductor will it go via my destination he said no, and i had to get down half way, but later it went through that place only in front of me. My concern is why is it taking different route. And why is the conductor giving wrong information. The passengers usually have complaint on this.

                Hi i m writing regarding driver behavior when i asked bus to stop @kit hassan circle in tiptur @2.00am. I have seen all government buses stop at kit college. When i asked whatever wordings he said is not acceptable. He said if something happens he will be responsible they will ask him. What that means he s sure that something will happen if only ladies travel in night. He would have said it's too late we will stop @bus stand. Instead of that whatever wordings he used is wrong. See only ladies traveling means as per convenient they stop bus? If i thought to take bus since bus stop s near my house, then they won't stop what will alternative arrangements i will make suddenly. Lf something happens that time can i held driver as responsible?
                Either bus stops should be defined properly or they should inform before when we ask.in my cases both didn't happend and driver behavior s not correct.

                  Hi Team,
                  Conductors are not issuing any tickets for short distance between city bus stand to vibrant bus stop, 303 and 307 buses.
                  Most of the people travel between metagalli to vikrant but due to short distance they don't give tickets so requesting u all to audit this route

                      I've been using the volvo from byapanalli metro station to vydehi ttmc for quite a while but every time the ticket is charged from swami vivekananda metro and extra money has to be paid. The conductor when confronted gave 2 options pay extra or leave and get another bus. It's not just a single bus that does this, it's the common con committed by every conductor on that route
                      Hi, there are very less busses from kollegala to Bangalore in early morning (4:30-5am) via maddur . Even though busses are allocated some times busses will come but not all the time. Hence people will be waiting in hopes it will come. Can you please look into it. If not every day can you provide more busses on Mondays ?
                      Thank you

                        Sir/ madam,

                        I am lvr satya prasad working in hpcl in mangalore. On 28.10.2018, m at around 1330 hrs, there was karnataka sarige bus passing on mangalore hassan road near kadaba/ subramanya road turn overtakes a biker very rudely and rashly because of which my vehicle maruti baleno had to be taken off-road to road shoulder thereby vehicle undercarriage hits the road. I felt that ksrtc should arrange safety classes for improving the road safety.
                        Unfortunately i could not capture vehicle number because our vehicle about met with an accident leaves only damage to vehcile.

                        I urge your goodsleves to take necessary action on all those drivers.

                            Respected sir/madam,
                            Myself dr. Ashwin a passenger from mangalore to kasargod met with a situation when i was about to sit on a seat where something was written in kannada which i couldn't read. It was a ladies reserved seat told by the conductor.
                            If it was written also in malayalam or at least in english language i could have read that. So i request you to take necessary action for mentioning the reservations in english language also in the interstate buses as the other state people won't be knowing kannada. As per my knowledge karnataka srtc is the best and ranked first government transport corporation in india.
                            So expecting your action and reply as early as possible.
                            Thanking you. Yours sincerely,
                            Dr. Ashwin sabu

                                      I had reserved 2 ticket kozhikkode to bangalore depot in airavath on 22/10/[protected]@21:07 from kozhikode-bengaluru pnr no. J72802587, trip code 2107kzkbng, bus number: ka01 f 8523. Route was not mentioned in the ticket. We were standing in front of thamarassry police station which are usually pick up point. After received the scheduled message half an hour before from departure time i tried to inform that we will get in the bus from thamararassery. But the conductor said that the bus is going via vadakara, kannur which is not usually going 99% buses. Hence we couldn't catch the bus and lost lot of money and time. So i kindly request you to refund the ticket amount.

                                        Sir! I was stranded in davanagere bus stand for 3 hours, as i requested the conductors to confirm that we will be made to alight in ksrtc bus stand, but a few of the conductors bluntly refused to do so, saying they will not go to bus stand, go to bangalore directly on bye pass road! We 2 aged persons find it so difficult to get down outside' the city limits and go home. Even tmk depot buses do like this! We will not get an auto after 10 pm kindly take some action to avoid the inconvenience to tmk passengers.
