Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation [MSRTC] Complaints & Reviews

Today i am travelling from pune to nashik.
I booked the msrtc's shivshahi bus.
It is from shivaji nagar to nandurbaar at 9:30pm.
The ac vents are not cleaned also the filters are not maintained because plenty of dust is coming through those vents which are leading me to suffocation.
Also some kind of black layer is formed on those vents.
Kindly avoid this bus people.
Kindly take serious action on this issue.
Otherwise someone with asthma will die here.
Kindly take some serious action.

Sir,
0n 19Th February `19 at about 3.05 PM, I was waiting for the buses to go to Thane station at Bhiwandi By- Pass Junction . The bus no MH 05 -S 8233 did not halt although the bus was having plenty of places. Just adjacent to this bus another bus of Bhiwandi - Thane Route arrived but this also did not halt. I could not take the number of this rogue bus, but you can take the number along with MH -05 S- 8233 just 5 mts plus or minus time of departure from Bhiwandi .
This is a very bad offence done by the Drivers and conductors. That is because (i) The Staffs in uniform feel that they are the bosses of the public (ii) They feel that by taking the passengers they are showing kindness to the passengers and don`t understand that the passengers pay their salaries (iii) They also must know that if the MSRTC removes them from the job they will not get any other job at any place.(iv) They should take the lesson from the BEST Staffs that 10-15 years before the drivers and Conductors used to take upper hand with be public and now it is in the verge of closure. (v) The one of the main reason of the MSRTC buses running loss because of such negative attitude of the Drivers / Conductors (vi) The over all Mis -Management in MSRTC that they are unable to control the errant drivers and conductors who are directly linked with the people.
Hope The Management of the M.S.R.T.C will train the Drivers and conductors of these two buses .

Dear sir
This is to inform you that i m travelling with my two children from mangon to pune... I hv reached mangaon at 5pm. I hv asked controller about the timing for pune bus he told me the timing 6 pm. So i have waited till 6pm, when bus arrived at stand i was just taking the bus suddenly bus conductor stopped me at the door saying that there is no place in bus and standing is not allowed. I have requested bus conductor that i m alone with two children plz allow me as it will be too late for me after this. But he was so rude not ready to listen anything... Then i hv gone to request controller he just behave very irresponsibly saying that i can't do anything if conductor is not allowing!!!
I want to know that why he is sitting there if he is unable to give proper solution.
He should take the responsibility for passengers travelling.

Controller name - mr pawar
Conductor name - don't know khed pune
This is my humble request to increase the number of local st bus instead of shivsahi.

Dear sir/madam,
I am travelling always with MSRTC and when i want to go outside of my village i am booking online by our MSRTC portal but problem is that when i am travelling pune to Natepute there are only two busses are available.

Thank you.

नमस्कार
मी आता माळीवाडा अहमदनगर बस स्टॅन्ड ला असून मला कान्हूर पठार जायचे असल्याने तशी चौकशी केली असता बस 12 pm ला होती मी चेक केला असता ती बस 11.45 am निघून गेली होती,
तुमच्या रेकॉर्ड ला तशी एन्ट्री पण आहे हे चौकशी अधिकाऱ्याने मला 12 ला दाखवले पण बसची नियोजित वेळ 12 अशीच आहे मग त्याठिकाणी हे अधिकारी काय करतात
जर त्यांना काम जमत नसेल वेळा पत्रक समजत नसेल तर घरी पाठवा ना
माझ्या समाधानासाठी वेळ बदलली आहे असे सांगण्यात आले
पण मग हे अगोदर पण सांगणे शक्य होते कि कामावर असणाऱ्या अधिकाऱ्यांना पण याची माहिती नाही
मग प्रवाश्यांना का चुकीची माहिती दिली जाते

असाच अनुभव काल 6 pm ला पुणे नगर श्रीरामपूर विनाथांब बस ला पण आला
अगोदर बुकिंग प्रमाणे आसंक्रमांक दिला जातो तरी त्याचे नियोजन आणि अंमलबजावणी संबंधित वाहक किंवा इतर कुणी केले नाही आणि दखल पण घेतली नाही परिणामी काही जेष्ठ नागरिक पुढे बुक सीट असताना शेवटी मागे बसली
या बाबतीत वाहक चालक बुकिंग ऑफिसर यांनी काहीच दखल घेतली नाही
संबंधित अधिकाऱ्यांना जर काम नको असेल तर त्यांना घरी पाठवायला काहीच हरकत नाही

सदर अनुभव हेच सांगतो की संबंधित अधिकारी आणि सरकार यांना प्रवाशांची काहीच काळजी नाही
बस चा प्रवास हा सर्वात असुरक्षित होऊ पाहतोय ...

Dear sir,

I had booked e-ticket from satara to mumbai central for journey on february 18, 2019. The scheduled departure of the shivshahi bus was at 06:00 hrs.

However, there was no bus in sight until 06.30 hrs. When enquired, the person manning the departure booth (Controller) replied that he has no information or control over the shivshahi buses as they were contracted. Several times he tried to contact the contract manager, but the calls over mobile phone were not received. The poor fellow was utterly helpless.

Who has control over contracted shivshahi buses?

It is brought to your notice that this is not an isolated incident. This is regular experience of shivshahi travellers. The replies passengers get is 'we don't know anything and we have no control over contracted shivshahi buses.'

Who is responsible there?

Kindly forward this email to concerned department for appropriate action.

May i expect a reply to this email?

Dear sir,
I am extremely disappointed due to our conductor service and their arrogant discussion with lady passenger who willing to travel till Shirwal( Dist. Satara) at night 10.00PM. I requested, pleaded to conductor to permit me to travel till Shirwal as it was too late to catch bus after office work which is located at Hinjewadi phase III. But he denied and talked very arrogantly and rudely which was unexpected and uncultured in our society. He talked like" mi Tula English madhe nai marathit sangto ki nai mhanunach". I agree that it's rule but we can break certain protocols in such situations as our ladies travellers safety is important.
Hope you will intervane and warn or instruct conductors regarding this.
I will wait for your response very early.

I would like to add note that many of our conductors truly taking care for ladies passenger though there are such unexpected, exception cases. Thank you to all of those personnel's who are helping and caring but against such arrogant persons action to be taken.

Yours faithfully,
A Lady passenger

Today at about 2.15 pm kallam latur bus driver did not stop his bus bearing no. Mh 25 b1789 at dikasal. I give him signal he saw me but went away. That bus is from latur. At that time bus was half empty but driver was in hurry. This type of thing is not expected from driver of msrtc. So i request officer of msrtc to take proper action against the said driver

This bus stop don't have any facility for public. This bus stop don't have washroom nor drinking water for public.

Public don't have proper shed or shelter to protect from sun or rain.

There is no basic time table available for public.

Staff over here say anything without having much knowledge.

In next month summer will start and public have face heat.

I hope this complain is taken under right consideration.

Awaiting to see improvement. Thanks

On 17/02/2019 bus conductor of talegaon to fauji-ambavade of talegaon denied me to give tickets to ghotawade phata and made me to unboard in a halfway. I am a regular passenger of that bus and i knew it has a stop of ghotawade phata. He is always being rude to passengers. I have seen other conductors of the same bus accepting passengers for that stop.
Please do take action as soon as possible.

With great dissatisfaction and with huge dissappointment from behaviour of staff of mstrc - vallabhnagar pune office.

Today 16/02/2019 i went to book ticket to alibag for my father who age 69.

Madam at the counter first took more than 15 minutes to respond upon asking same she misbehaved and didnt present ticket.

If this is respect for customer where in bold letters written customer is vip is all wrong.

As the bus ticket was of rupees 14, i gave the 100 /- and asked for change but he gave me 80/- rupees back and ignored me whole the journey when he was supposed to give 6/- back. This incidence if of today when i travelled from kit college kolhapur to bindu chowk kolhapur. I request you to look after it and gave my money back. As this has become usual thing. Bus no. Mh 09 cv 0471. Time 5:50 pm on 16th february 2019

12-02-19 shivshahi kalyan to swargate in the morning. Gear problem with the bus and it got delayed for an hour.
13-02-19 shivshahi swargate to kalyan afternoon 1 pm. Same problem detected at wakad and all passengers including 80 year old women were made to get down for replacement. Conductor don’t know which bus is to be replaced. The bus which was to be replaced didn’t have diesel. So again we are travelling back by the old defective bus to kalyan. Nobody in the state transport department knows anything about it. Is the st playing with the security of passengers?
