[Resolved]  Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) — Extortion

Address:

Mysore, Karnataka

As usual for weekend today I traveled from Bangalore to Mysore my hometown, When i boarded the Raja Hamsa bus (KA 40 F 400) I did not know that I will be in the worst kind of service, the bus is an old model bus and unluckily only back seat were free, to add the bus was really smelly. I work till 12 AM in the night and will reach my room around morning 1.30 AM, so I will sleep for few hours in my room and leave for Mysore, The main intention of taking Raja Hamsa is that I can sleep peacefully with the recliner seat and reach Mysore with non-stop service.But today it did not happen the same, along with being the old model bus which is still in service, every hump we passed was like playing on the trampoline and finally couple o[censored]s asked the driver to ride slow so that we don't go up and down in our seat. second thing was that the seats were loose and being old model bus it did not have shock absorber or whatever it is which is there in the new Raja Hamsa so all the way we were like swaying here and there as if we were in the cradle which not only destroyed my sleep but also gave back ache and head ache.and It was a clear rigging and extortion of 180 Rs. The regular red buses were overtaking us and couple of good Raja Hamsa buses also passed us half empty.My question is what the hell anyone would still approve these old buses to be in service. to add we also reached late since we were going slow and I believe the driver was smoking beedi's because more than two times en-route we smelled beedi smoke inside the moving bus.Totally pathetic service and now I know why people will stone and set fire to public transport vehicles when there are strikes or riots.
