But we had an unpleasant experience during our return journey.
We started journey on stipulated time. But as we reach Mudumalai Forest gate, (reached at 12:15 mid night) we have been told that “Can’t continue the journey due to Forest Security on High court Order” We both were shocked by this and along with us there are other Six KSRTC buses stopped on this reason.
Then finally got to know that –
The Karnataka High Court’s judgment on June27, 2009 — banning night traffic ( 10:00PM to 06:00AM) on NH 212 that cuts through Bandipur Sanctuary —Since the road passes through two other adjacent sanctuaries — Mudumalai in Tamil Nadu and Wayanad in Kerala — the verdict, in effect, extends protection to these sanctuaries. Actually it was declared for monitoring vehicle movement through sound hiding inside the bush.
Due to this, we were supposed to stay in the middle of the journey; it was so inconvenient that we could not sleep properly because of mosquitoes & other creatures. Later we started in the morning 6:00AM, because of this we both could not go to office on that day.
But our question is -
1. Even though KSRTC is aware of this matter, why it is running its buses in the night?
2. Why passengers are not informed about this?
3. Why KSRTC not understanding the problem of Small children & old aged people
4. Anyhow buses will halt in the middle of the forest, if something happens who is going to held responsible on that?
5. Why KSRTC want to take up such risks?
6. Why can’t KSRTC block the ticketing for night journey buses?

Vijaya

Koyambedu Bus Terminus Platform No 1, 100 Feet Road Jawaharlal Nehru Salai, Koyambedu, Chennai, Dharwad, Karnataka, India - 600107
The scheduled time was 20:05, an hour later at 21:00 a bus to kannur arrived, to our surprise when we approached the conductor he said this ticket is for the earlier bus which is cancled.If you want we will drop you at Mattanur which is our route or you can go and get the ticket canceled. On approaching the Traffic Controller in charge the reply also was the similar, If you want you can travel by this other wise you can cancel the ticket, we are helpless we cannot do anything. This was the decision by our manager to club the service to the earlier bus to this service.I am really surprised this is the kind of service we deserve after paying for it. Imagine the plight getting down 30 to 40 kilometers away in the midnight and take a alternate bus. I cant imagine if it were my family was supposed to travel.The similar expereince in the same route another 10 days back.I was on the same Kannur bus departing at 20:00. Just after Mysore there was some trouble with the clutch, The drive manages to take the bus to gudalur depot workshop. It was around 2:00 in the midnight, and unfortunately the night shift mechanic not available, we had to sleep in the bus untill early morning 7:00AM till the mechanic arrived.
Who is responsible for these kind of services and whom should we reach to complain about these inconvenince.
The conductor and the Traffic controller said we are helpless we cannot do anything. Would they accept the similiar service inconvenince.I tried to reach on the enquiry numbers that were on the back of the ticket of which none are active.
Is this what we deserve for trusting the service.
