The website and mobile application of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) malfunctioned during the past two days making booking tickets difficult, several people complained. While netizens attributed it to the Shakti scheme, the KSRTC said its servers had crashed due to a technical issue and it has since been rectified.
Nikhil Sharma, a passenger in Bengaluru said, “After I reserved the seats using the KSRTC app while making the payment, I got a message that the transaction had failed. I tried multiple payment modes, but the result was the same.”
Another passenger, Pavithra Suresh, said, “At least 10 times I tried to log in but the website was not responding. Later, I had to book tickets on a private bus.”
