I had missed my train and boarded a KSRTC Bus ( Airavat to Hyderabad)…

Reported on December 18, 2013 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #38587

I had missed my train and boarded a KSRTC Bus ( Airavat to Hyderabad) in Mekhri Circle. The conductor said 2 seats are available and one I boarded and settled down, I was asked Rs. 2100/- for 2 tickets, I paid the money and only when I received the Ticket from him I came to know the Price of 2 Tickets is Rs. 1,782/-. I questioned the conductor and he said, he needs the money for giving the seats ( Which is totally false as the seats were empty and no further stops in Bangalore). This was not a bribe and more an extortion from me of Rs. 300/-. I was travelling with my wife and it was late in the night hence could not question more publicly.

Date : 13-Dec-2013
Ticket Number: 127300
Time on ticket : 21:12:14
Boarding Point : Mekhri Circle
Ticket Price : Rs. 1782/- for 2 passengers
Paid Amount - Rs. 2,300/- This was extortion than Bribe from a stranded passenger.
I can also send Scan copy of the Ticket. I would like the authorities be informed to stop this extortion in KSRTC buses.
