On Nov 10, 2023, due to the weekend, the saptagiri express bus was completely booked, except, I only had a middle seat left in a 3 seater.
While booking, the yellow seats on either side was shown, indicating ladies booked it. So i booked the empty middle seat.
To my surprise, a male has boarded to sit along my side. It was a night journey of 6hrs, and seats in apsrtc express bus are too congested without even a divider in between..
However, I have approched The bus conductor to adjust else where. She has been rude and unethical, shouting at me, to silence me down to sit my reserved seat, and that she would see later. There are mutiple stops and most of the seats are still empty. So i sat in one of empty seats, yet she started yelling at me, to sit in my reserved seat, and people will board in next stop in that seat.
However, i tried requesting two gentlemen to exchange seats. Thankfully, they agreed to it, and we started to exchange seats.
The bus conductor, started yelling at me, whats my problem to sit in assigned seat. Being a lady conductor, she did NOT display a bit a sensibility or responsibility to understand my problem.
The seats are too closely binded that its too difficult to share with a male passenger even for few minutes.
Firstly, its mistake of apsrtc booking system, that it displayed wrong status that two ladies booked, where in real, a male passenger has booked.
Secondly, the bus conductor, being a representative of apsrtc, did not have minimal responsibility or empathy to understand the passenger's issue, that too a women's, night travel.
All throughout bus, she was cursing the passengers, and yelling at them too.
This is not acceptable behaviour for a passenger, and NOT reliable enough for wen to travel, if this is the way the conductors react.
Please look into thjs, and help rectify the system errors and make sure conductors are reliable enough.
FYR,
