Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation [MSRTC] Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir / Madam, We have been facing this problem of Normal Buses with Nim-Aram Board not taking Mouda Stop on NH 6 on daily basis. On 23.09.2013 at 07.45 am when i asked bus-conductor that bus no: MH40/D8146 is (normal red color bus) then why it is not taking Mouda stop then he replied that this is Nim-Aram Bus. This has been happening with Bhandara Depo buses at Morning hours & Evening hours. Our Concern is if it is Nim-Aram Bus (Ashiad) then condutor should take Ashiad fair from passengars travelling in that Bus, but they recover only normal fair & do not allow Mouda passengers to travel in normal buses with Nim-Aram Board. All other depo like Tumsar, Sakoli, Nagpur, Gondia does not put Nim-Aram Board on normal buses. We request you to look into the matter & do the needful at the earliest. Awaits yr kind reply. Yours truly, Uday Parate 606, 6th Floor, B-Wing, Lokmat Bhawan, Wardha Road, Nagpur - 12 Cell no: [protected]

Dear Sir/Madam,
I want to lodge complaint with regards to ST bus driver,from route Malad West SV Road.
Bus Details:
Destination: Shrivardhan (ST Bus)
Bus Timing : 7.30 am at Malad West

We were waiting for Bus from 6.45 am as we want to go to our village.
As bus timing is 7.30 am from Malad.But ST bus driver did not stop at bus stop.
And even we called Borivali ST stand depo for such case and ask them to stop that bus(shrivardhan)
at kurla.
As my dad is senior citizen of India.
Repect to be given and need to obey some kind of
discipline from Bus driver.

Hope such case doesn't happen to anyone.

Dear Sir
My self Santosh Patil from Sajani village of Kolhapur district is daily travelling from Sajani to Kolhapur for service and official work. It has been observed that, many times bus conductor Ajara to Ichalkaranji, Gadhinglaj to Ichalkaranji, Chandgad to Ichalkaranji, Kurundwad to Kolhapur, Nrusinhwadi to Kolhapur (excluding Radhanagari to Ichalkaranji and Gaganbavada to Ichalkaranji) are not allowing passengers to enter in the bus. They are stating that, this bus is not ordinary bus and will not stop at small villages in between.
Time and again I raised this issue at different platforms (including controller of Kolhapur division and Ichalkarnji depot), but they are also not willing to solve this problem and keep on giving false reasons. Conductors are not even bother to controllers and disobey their commands and do not stop at our villages. This make every day quarreling with conductors and create mental stress for all villagers. Senior citizens are facing problems, as they are unable to read nameplate and conductors did not board them for small bus stops.
One thing is that so called attitude of conductors lead to increase the private transportation and peoples are now not willing to travel by ST bus.
Conductor does not stop in-between even though bus is empty.
I hope you will take proper action against these culprits and hope we will get justice.

Yours faithfully,
Santosh Patil,

I am a Female working In Satpur MIDC, My official timings are from 9.00 am to 6.15pm.
In the morning I take the bus for Satpur from Nashik Road, between 8.00am to 8.45 am and there are regular buses to Satpur at that time.
In the evening I dont get the direct bus from Satpur to Nashik Road from 6.30pm to 7.15pm, so I take break journey From Satpur to CBS and then Shalimar to NashikRoad,
I reach Shalimar by 6.45 pm but i dont get bus from Shalimar to Nashik Road upto 7.30pm.
Since its a peak hour there is heavy rush during that time and its very difficult for a female person to get into the bus.
Most of the times the bus just slows down and dont hault making the passengers run for it, which may also cause some serious accident.
I request you to please look into the matter and do the neatful.

No bus facility provided to common people in vasai from papdy market (Naka)to naigaon station
Subject : No bus facility provided to common people in vasai from papdy market (Naka)to naigaon station
Dear Sir
I am a local resident of papdy , vasai West ,(Mumbai) ,Dist : thane 401201. I and almost all people travel from vasai to Mumbai for job I have been traveling for last 10 years . we have to take a auto from papdy to naigaon station everyday as there is no public transportation facility at all in this area .as we leave to work In the morning and come home late at night there r no auto available in this area to go to our house. As the rate of hire a auto is sky high here.
The common man can not afford this kind of rate to travel to work everyday . and I am been facing this problem from last 10 years I have complained many times but there is always no response from the authorities. As if we r cats n dogs o them they don’t even see that a man who has to go to work early in the morning he has to walk 1 km till the main road just to take auto to station. and the frequency of auto is very very very low we have to wait for 2 hours just to take a auto to station.
I am disappointed because your Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation in vasai as they r not providing any public service which is very much problematic to the general public n this has to be changes so other people donot suffer the thing that I have been going through from last 10 years
To resolve the problem I would appreciate your I would pleade to the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation to provide a bus facility to the general public from papdy to naigaon station..
I look forward to hearing from you and to a resolution of this problem
Yours sincerely

I booked 2 tickets in Sheetal A.C bus which is run by MSRTC (Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation). Below are the details :

Trip Number : M10206
Ticket Number : 12175101
Transaction Id : MCIT[protected]
Date of Journey : 08/03/13
Bus Service Type : AC-SHEETAL
Service Start Place : SHIVAJI NAGAR PUNE
Service End Place : NASIK CBS
No. of Seats : 2

Pune to Nasik journey is around 6 hours by the bus. After around 2-3 hours, AC got off in the bus. All passengers were facing intense suffocation inside the bus as windows cant be opened in AC bus. When we complained to driver regarding it. He said that he is also trying to switch on the AC but unable to do it as AC system got broken. However just before entering in Nasik (Around 30 min before Nasik), driver took the bus to a petrol pump and filled the diesel. After filling the fuel, AC system started working.
It shows how all the passengers were cheated and were forced to face intense suffocation for around 3 hours. Driver told lie that AC system got broken however it was not working as there was no fuel in bus.

1) Passengers faced so much trouble, suffocation on traveling in AC bus with AC not working although they paid fare of AC bus. So all of the passengers should be returned the difference fare amount between AC and non AC bus.
2) It looks like MSRTC administration dont give proper attention on the bus before leaving the bus stand that bus has proper arrangement for travelling like fuel, extra tyres or tool box.
3) If MSRTC administration takes proper care then it is the driver who just for making money by saving the fuel, made all the passengers troubled so much.

MSRTC need to take strict actions regarding such incidents. It was a small route of 6 hours so it was bearable by passengers. If it would have been in a bus of long route then it could be be very very troublesome.

I am really very disappointing with your the services of MSRTC. I was in the impression that only Private bus operators do like this but even MSRTC which is a Govt company doesnot differ.I am so sorry to say that in future if i need to travel anywhere then MSRTC bus will be the my last option.

HI i had a reservation for msrtc semi luxury bus from swargate to thane at 22:15 from swargate.i had boarding from brahmin chowk aundh.i waited till 11pm and then called msrtc office many times and finally at 11.20 they answered and told me that the bus has left from swargate and the number was 7510. at 11.30 the bus crossed from besides us and even after repeated shouts form myself and mr mane the stop attendant at brahmin chowk the bus did not stop.
then i had to take aswamegh and pay 355 for the ticket and go to dadar which reached at 1.30 am on 24th. and that time the trains had stopped so again had to pay 280rs for rickshaw form dadar to thane.

so in all i had a very bad experience and was left stranded and had to spend 3 times the amount of money of the ticket to reach my destination.

can someone do something about this

Dear sir,

I am govind gaike age 58 years, I booked bus tickets at 3 pm on 23-nov-2012, for myself with my wife, daughter & grandson of 6 months (reservation seat nos 3, 4 & 5 and ticket nos are 211343, 211344 & 211345)in barshi to pune bus departure at 16-45 on 23 nov 2012. There were other 5 passengers who booked tickets in that bus. When bus came late to bus stand at about 17-30 and then it was cancelled because of not enough passengers are there.It was not an extra bus, it is regular /Daily bus from barshi to pune timing 16-45. We have been told to get down from the bus and there was no parallel arrangement done.Then the same bus was routed to pandharpur where fairly good no. Of passenger available. It was tremendous inconvenience caused to all o[censored]s. It was question of bus service, faith & its commitment towards passenger who belives in msrtc. Please look into matter & revert with suitable answer.

Thanking you,

kind regards,
govind gaike

Hello,

Sir,


September 23, 2012 22:00 I travelled from Karad to Maitri Park - Mumbai by Ordinary Bus
instead of Semi Luxury.
I did not get any refund from bus conductor.
Due to some resons I was not able to carry printout of reseerved ticket and
even after requesting many times bus conductor Mr K T Kalaskar forced me
to buy a new ticket of Rs 309 though I have shown him Mobile SMS and
ID proof. Even Mr. P S Tonde from Satara depo- in charge was not also
helpful.
Having no choice of buying a new ticket the total travel cost me 361+309=
Rs.670

the new ticket I bought have following details.
sr no. 054268 24/09/2012 00:28:18
night express
Karad to maitri park
Rs 309
0109805 K T Kalaskar KRD 00031.


It is my humble request please consider my case and refund me appropriate
amount ie Rs 354.

---

If you consider facts and practical problems this might be happen to anybody that printout of e-ticket is not available.
in this cases Mobile SMS should be considered as a proof.
In my case I was having proper ID proof (my driving license and PAN card) and I was ready to show conductor the Soft copy of E-ticket on my laptop.

Moreover MSRTC booking was made against semi luxury people are forced to travel by an ordinary bus (which was broken down due to some mechanical problem twice)
very painful and untrustworthy...

please suggest me is there any way to get my Refund back!!!

With great regret undersigned wish to bring following incident and expect action at your end.

Myself, SHAILESH SHENDE Ticket Number[protected], Transaction ID- MHCC[protected], Seat No.- 30 and my colleague Mr. LOKESH PRASAD SOTI Ticket Number[protected], Transaction ID- MHCC[protected], Seat No.- 28 had booked MSRTC E-Reservation Ticket online for journey from NASIK CBS to SHIVAJI NAGAR PUNE on 23-09-12 at 22-30 Hrs.

Due to traffic jam, it was not possible for undersigned to reach NASIK CBS on time, hence informed my colleage Mr Lokesh Prasad Soti who was at NASIK CBS and boarded the bus, to request Bus Driver and Conductor that myself will board the bus from Dwarka Stop instead of NASIK CBS due to jam.He requested the same to Bus Driver and Conductor but they were very reluctant to agree. After repeated requested they anyhow agreed.

I reached Dwarka Stop - The authorized Bus Stop Opposite to Petrol Pump, at around 10-20 PM well before the time and waited there for Bus to arrive from CBS. All other buses came and stopped there however the bus in which I have to board came there and without stoppage went forward very speadly overtaking other buses stopped at the Dwarka Stop. I tried to stop the bus but it went straight without notice. My colleage who was inside the bus was also asking the Conductor to stop at Dwarka stop and see for me, but Driver as well as Conductor was not in the mood to listen.

Moreover, my mobile phone was switched off due to phones battery got drained and I was not able to communicate to my colleage inside the bus.I was managing to call by borrowing the mobile phone of someothers.

Later it came to know that bus was stopped at location somewhere after Dwarka hotel for a moment, the location and bus I was not able to identified.

Further it came to know that bus is at Nasik Road stop, I asked my colleage to request Driver and Conductor to wait for a moment I am on the way to Nasik Road and can catch the bus in short time. He requested, but Driver and Conductor not agreed and left for Pune with
my Seat No. 30 vacant.

At Nasik Road I was alone, there were no other buses. All MSRTC buses were already fully booked.

Here I feel important to inform that myself and my colleague are responsible officers of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited Nasik and where on the official tour to Pune. I along with my colleague had to attend the official meeting at Pune in morning 24-09-12 anyhow.

I somehow manage to seet in Drivers cabin of overcrowded private bus and anyhow complete the horrible jouney of my lifetime from Nasik to Pune with lot of mentle and physical stress.

In view of the above, it is kindly requested to please take proper action against the defaulters and address the following

issues-

1. Refund of my ticket fare Rs. 255.20.

2. Action against Driver and Conductor for not stopping the bus at authorized bus stop.

3. Explaination in writing why bus was not stopeed at authorized stop and stopped somewhere else for which passengers are not

knowing.

4. Compensetion for all the uncomfort experience to undersigned.

Expect quick response.

I would like to submit my complaint about the bad frequency of ST buses on the Panvel-Thane route in the morning and the evening timings when the people leave for office and coming back from office.
The frequency is simply pathetic in the interval of 8-9:30 AM in the morning and 6-8 PM in the evening. This is the time when most of the people go to office and come back from office where there are very less buses and a lot of crowd. It becomes very hectic for us to reach the destination and that too on time. Sometimes even if the buses come on time, the driver wont stop the bus and just drive through and sometimes the driver would stop the bus very far where we cannot catch the bus.
Its almost a daily problem for all o[censored]s. Hope we get a solution to this soon.

Regards,
Kishor

Sir/Madam
In the next 3 years this place will have an internatonal airport- Navi Mumbai International Airport.
However, there is no public transport in the form of buses from MSRTC/NMMT to ply from Khandeshwar Station to Khanda Colony/New Panvel East and people have to rely on autorickshaws who charge exorbitantly and do not ply at all times of the day/night

There is an urgent need for a bus to ply from New Panvel East/Khanda Colony to Khandeshwar Station so that people have some means of affordable transport. The frequency should preferable match with the train arrival timings so that there is no waiting time involved. It will also help save fuel as private vehicles will then go off the road

There is a provision for a bus depot opp. Oven Fresh Bakery which can be developed immediately and thereby the authorities can give the residents a Ganpati gift by plying bus services immediately - NMMT/MSRTC/KDMT

The authorities are required to implement the same immediately
