[Resolved]  KSRTC — rude behaviour of conductor. misuse of another passenger ticket. pocketing money

Address:

Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu

Dear Sir, Today (24.12.2014) I boarded a KSRTC Bus at PunjaiPuliampatti around 8.25 p.m. to go to Coimbatore. I told the conductor that I have to go to Saravanampatti. After a few passengers getting down from the bus, I boarded along with another passenger. The conductor asked me to give Rs.38/- I told him that it is only Rs.26 or Rs.27 the actual fare and also I am a regular traveller. He did not accept my words. He showed me the ticket amount of Rs.38/- from the machine and demanded me Rs.30/-. I paid the money and asked for the ticket. He told that the reserved ticket of 4 passengers is handed over to the another passenger and I can travel on that ticket. I did not accept. Then he handed over the same ticket from the copassenger and asked me to keep. Again I argued with him that I should have been told at the time of boarding this PunjaiPuliampatti is not the stage to board. He is not accepting and asked me to get down the bus. I accepted his word and demanded for the refund. He gave me Rs.20/- keeping Rs.10/- for travelling some distance and asked me to get down. I demanded Rs.30/-. After some debate he refunded me Rs.30/- and I got down at a place where from both sides of nearly 1 km there is no bus stop. He scolded me after getting down. This is my bitter experience with Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation. I request the Corporation to take this note for posting a conductor who works for Corporation and do not pocket money in this way without issuing ticket. Inter state Bus should have some seasoned conductor to be posted. My Name is V. Sekhar e-mail ID: vaiyapuri.[protected]@gmail.com
