[Resolved]  Mtc, Chennai — Non-stopping of buses

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

There used to be a prolonged struggle for the city route buses that ply from the city to stop at the Vandalur Railway Gate Bus Stop. In spite of repeated complaints and representations the MTC authorities never issued orders for the stoppage at the said bus stop. However due to persistent efforts of the general public and other welfare union activists, the MTC issued necessary orders to their crew members of all services, except the Volvo AC service to stop the buses at the Vandalur Gate Bus Stop. Except a very few crew other do not stop the bus at the bus stop. Non stoppage of the city route buses at the said stop causes a lot hardship to the regular bus travelers and to the people who miss the trains either way. Almost all the crew members are very adamant and they just override the instructions issued by their own authorities and skip the bus stop. If reported for non stoppage the authorities simply say that all buses do stop at the said stop, whcih is not a fact.

If the MTC crew are not interested in the stoppage at the bus stop, I would like to request the MTC authorities to utilize the vacant and unused land that is available on the left side of the down slope of the new over bridge constructed and opened recently, to put up a new terminus and a few new city routes convenient to the travelling public could be operated from this new terminus.
