Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation interstate AC bus service
Charging excess

I was on an urgent journey travelling from Calicut, Kerala to Bangalore on the night of 7th June. There were no seats in any of the Kerala state transport corporation buses and the reservation time at an outlet of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation was over. Since the agent at the Karntaka SRTC outlet told that there are seats available in the AC bus starting at 9. 30 which was going to start in 20 minutes, I approached the conductor of that bus (Reg No: KA 01 F 8512). He told that two seats are available and I should pay 500 Rs. When I received the ticket, I found out that the charge printed was Rs. 440. When asked about this, he told that in case I am going to argue, I would not get ticket. Since there was no other bus and I had to reach urgently, I had no other way, than paying Rs. 500. I found him taking Rs.500 for Bangalore ticket from another travellor who but did not question.
