Dear Sir,

I regret to bring this to your knowledge that we are experiencing various ticket pricing patterns when we travel in the bus.

For example, in same bus traveling from Peramanalur to Salem, sometimes we are asked for 37/- as ticket and sometimes 55/- . This charges are when we travel in a Byepass rider. How can same route have different pricing..? When we ask the conductor we are told that it is a special bus. Just tell me based on the crowd in the route, TNSTC plans for special buses but why at special fares.

Another instant is when we travel in bus to Bangalore from Salem, The normal charge is 80/- per head but sometimes we are charged even 135/- to 140/- telling that it is a special bus.

This is really a complex situation where all passengers after getting into bus have to pay to the conductor and move on But I think some displays should be kept inside the bus itself showing final prices.

Am greatly hurt by these patterns in such a rate of inflation how can a person like me from middle class manage to travel in govt buses. When we prefer govt buses mainly because they are at affordable prices.
