Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [Ksrtc] — poor bus facility & bus quality.

Address:

Uttara Kannada, Karnataka

I am a frequent traveler from honnavar to talguppa so as to catch a train (16228) towards bengaluru.

There were earlier two buses plying from honnavar to sagar, i. E @ 4.15pm & 5.15pm. But surprisingly the 4.15pm bus has been cancelled & we need to rely only on the later bus. Much of the travelers would here be to catch the train in time without much hussle. But due to some wrong decision its quite uncomfortable to all the passengers to reach the destination in time. The reason is a cranky driver & the honnavar ksrtc depot manager, who had cancelled the 4.15pm bus & put all the passengers into trouble to reach their destination in time.
The destination is around 74 km with a charge of rs 83/- the time to reach talguppa would be around 2 hours. But unfortunately, i had a nightmare travel (Ka-17 f-1576) on thursday, 20th feb 2020 where we had a driver who drove so well that he took more than 3 hours to reach talguppa (5.15pm to 8.16pm) wherein my train was scheduled at 8.20pm... Just feel about the tension with the travelers especially the families & ladies relying on this only bus. Similar situation with the passengers who had train from sagara.

Please take appropriate actions so as to ease the fate of the travelers plying this route.
1. Two buses required as scheduled earlier.
2. Proper bus driver well versed in ghat section driving. (The bus travels via jog falls & kargil).
3. Proper schedules & drivers maintained.
4. Any mishap with the bus during the journey, no back up since no follow up buses along this route.

Thanks & regards.
