Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] Complaint

Hi,

We four office colleagues booked Rajahamsa Executive for Pondicherry trip for Friday, 26th 2017 the bus was scheduled at 10:20 PM for Pondicherry from St Johns Bus Stop pick up point. We trust KSRTC as its safe for girls and it was nearest pickup point as we stay near BTM.

We reached the pickup point at 9:30 PM. It was raining very heavily we were waiting and checking for our bus under Petrol bunk. We had hope the bus will come just delay due to rains and patiently waited and checked every KSRTC bus passing. At 1:30AM Rajahamsa for 9:20 pm reached. We had hope and we were standing under petrol bunk and waiting for our bus. At around 2 AM 10:12 Pondicherry bus came and we had still hope for our 10:20 bus. It became almost 3 am in the morning and there were few passengers waiting for the same bus.

Today, we called the KSRTC customer care to enquire about the incidents and then we come to know that the bus that we had booked was never started from the source neither the bus number was also generated.

As we had already booked the return ticket and unfortunately we have to cancel it and we are not getting the full amount back.

So, if you please take this issue as a priority and process the full refund initiation, we would be very grateful to you.

Mentioned below is the PNR details for both onward and return journey.

Bangalore to Pondicherry Dated (26th May 2017)- J64497750

Pondicherry to Bangalore Dated (28th May 2017)- J64497751

Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] ksrtc rash driving and colliding with vehicle

We were traveling in Innova near Banashankari bus stand in Bangalore around 7PM today, we were hit by a rash driving KSRTC bus KA-42-F-315.
It was traffic filled road impact was so high as vehicle got dragged 2-3 meters, headlight broken, side bumper got crushed inside.
Driver was not even bothered to stop and check what happened. There was 5 months old baby onboard.

If this type of worst driving on city limits is really annoying and drivers are so relaxed as propel can't do any thing because of system glitches.

Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] THreatening by public servant

To whosoever it may concern,
I today i.e 5 august 2011 boarded a bus ( no 271 A ) at 1 pm at B.E.L Circle stop for Malleshwaram Circle. I was asked Rs 11 for fare for which I gave Rs 20. The conductor instead of returning the change asked me Re1 which was not available to me then. Failing to give him Re 1 the person threathened me to throw me out of the bus if I failed to do it, All i want to know that whether is this the way you deal with customers or is that in their rule book to meet people with this behaviour. The bus registration no was KA 01 2100. I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN AFTER COMPLAINING NOBODY WILL MOVE THEIR ### BY THE DEPUTED PERSON (CONDUCTOR). INSPITE of his advice I STILL EXPECT THE CONCERNED AUTHORITY TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER AS THIS IS SERIOUSLY A CRIMINAL ACT OF A PULIC SERVANT. My ticket no was B39 364759 (for rs 7) & J11 032157. i DEMAND A APOLOGY FROM THE PERSON CONCERNED.

Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] Irresponsibility of Conductor for Not Stopping in Pick Up Point

I had booked a ticket for my mother in KSRTC - Rajahamsa Executive bus (Trip Code 2144BNGJMK) for 31st July, 2011 and specified pick up point as Navarang Park. However when the bus came and I was holding the bag and ticket and was waiting it to stop, the bus didn't stop at all at Navarang and nobody responded to the number mentioned in the ticket - [protected]. I then enquired at KSRTC ticket counter, Navarang and when that guy called, the conductor told the bus was just after Navarang signal and waiting. I, for the safer side, took the car and the bus was waiting after 3km from the pick up point! Luckily I had car so I could drop. If any lady is alone how she can go? City buses don't ply there and it is not safe to take auto at 10 30 PM. The conductor is highly irresponsible and he didn't even apologize for not stopping. Now it also loss for the KSRTC because now I don't feel like traveling in it. I am a regular commuter from last 5 years. Please ensure such incidents do not repeat in future and KSRTC has to apologize for the same. PNR No was J24794595

Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] Quality of the Volvo Bus

KSRTC (Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation) is generally known for prompt service and the quality of their buses. But unfortunately, I boarded a Volvo bus on 23rd June 2011 which was terrible (from Bangalore to Bellary). Other than "Volvo" written on its back, nothing about the bus was Volvo. The Volvo and Mercedes Benz buses which ply on other routes like Bangalore-Mumbai and Bangalore-Chennai are very good, but on the contrary, buses to Bellary are not well maintained. But the fare is equally proportional.

So, how good is this? We pay a premium (Rs. 502 for just 313 Km distance) for the so called luxury service but end up being disappointed always. KSRTC needs to act swiftly on this.

Raghuram Marur

Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] Denial of Seats against Reserved-Confirmed Tickets regarding

I T.S. SIVASANKAR booked a ticket in KSRTC – Rajahamsa class service From Bengaluru to Madurai on date of journey 16th November 2010 (the ticked was booked on 26th October 2010 thru' approved booking counter).

I was allotted seat no.s 23, 24 and 25 for my family (2 adults and 1 child). And I received confirmation – sms too for the same.

On the day of Journey, I was surprised to see that our seats were occupied with somebody and they showed their respective tickets. I was told that some technical error happened and my ' Reserved – ticket' was Invalid since the PNR was not appeared in that Trip sheet.

We were detained from the bus and none was there (Shanti nagar Bus station) to address our query.
The 'so called' in charge Mr. Sheriff (not sure about the name) 'advised' us to travel in a Volvo a/c bus by paying the difference amount or Cancel and Claim for refund money.

That too he was not assured us whether we might get seat or not in that bus. We as a family had to reach the destination next morning for the auspicious occasion of our family. We agreed for the difference amount paying -negotiation. (what else we could do in that drenching rain with a family, Sir ?)

We got seats in 10.45 p.m Volvo a/c bus to Madurai, Of course we paid the difference, addition amount of Rs. 860/-

My queries as follows,
1.Why did my advanced booking 'Reserved Ticket' was deny to travel ?
2.What was the reason and who is the responsible behind it ?
3.Whom to approach in such circumstances ?
4.Why I was asked to pay the difference /addition money to travel in Volvo a/c bus since the mistake was not mine.
5.There was No half (child) ticket in Volvo a/c bus it seems. The conductor collected 3 adult -full ticket money.
6.If we were not got seats in that Volvo a/c bus, what could had been done for our journey ?

Above all we failed to reach destination on time and obviously we missed such important family occasion. The depression and stress what we had on that rainy night, Could anything compensate ?

Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation [KSRTC] Mistake and Cruelness of Conductor and Driver

Dear Sir, (To whoever it concerns)

This is an unexpected incident that happened to me while travelling from Bangalore to Hyderabad on July-4-2010.
Bus Timing: Departure: 8:40 P.M. - Arrival time: 8:00 A.M (next day)
Bus Number: KA-40 F - 352. (RAJA HAMSA)
Bus Seat Number:32
I reached Bangalore Majestic Bus-stand at 8:38 pm as there was heavy traffic on the way towards majestic bus stand. I stood in front of the bus and started waiting for the conductor. I gave the ticket to the conductor as my ticket was already booked in advance, he said me that he will mark the ticket and will give me back. I requested him to give back the ticket saying him that you can collect the same from me after I am seated in the bus. He said he will mark and give me back and went inside the bus to mark it. I was waiting at the same point .i.e outside (front of the bus) where I gave him(conductor) the ticket so that conductor could return back the ticket in the same point of place. After a while, I saw the driver and told him that conductor has took the ticket from me. he told me that conductor is inside the bus and asked me to collect the ticket from him. I went inside the bus to get the ticket and demanded my ticket back from the conductor. To my surprise conductor is telling me that he has gave my ticket back but he has not given the ticket back at all. I am very sure he has not given me the ticket. he humiliated me a lot in front of other passengers. That was not enough from him, I repeatedly asked him that you have not given me the ticket but still both driver and conductor started fighting with me. They said they cannot allow me to go in the bus without ticket. Conductor agreed that he has taken ticket from me. but he said that he cannot allow me to go in the bus without ticket. He took me to senior inspector I explained all the things to Senior inspector about it but for my fate Even he said the same that they cannot allow me to go in the bus without showing ticket. Could anybody explain me how will show the ticket which is not given back to me?. I told the Senior Inspector to check the name of the passenger in the trip sheet and match it with my ID card (PAN Card). But he was not convinced at any point.

I am working professional, I have a very important meeting to attend next day in the office. I cannot afford to miss this bus as all others bus are
full and there was a strike next day. I was forced to pay the ticket for the paid ticket for the same seat once again. JUST REQUESTING THE AUTHORITIES TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST SUCH CARELESS CONDUCTORS. Requesting all my Friends to be cautious while traveling in the KSRTC bus as you could face the same problem like me.
