[Resolved] Sangita Travels / Jayam Travels - Madurai & Chennai — Scam bus service | |||
Please be cautioned if you are booking tickets by Sangita / Jayam travels for the first time. They charge 5 star rates for a crap service that they operate in the name of bus service. 7th of May 2010 I travelled to Madurai from Chennai and was charged Rs 750 for an AC bus that had AC defect and the driver had just driven the bus from Bangalore to Chennai. Since the bus was not fully booked it was started at 1:30AM instead of 10:30PM, the bus stopped almost at all important points inside Chennai for 15 min to bring in passengers. Finally the bus reached Tambaram at 3:00AM and all these after tough verbal duels between the passengers and Jayam Travels representative who was in the bus accompanying it till Tambaram. Since the driver had driven the bus from Bangalore just before this trip he started dousing while driving and to avoid him from sleeping some of the passengers had to sit next to him and keep him engaged. Finally we reached Madurai at 10:30AM in the morning. I had taken a promise not to travel by this bus service any more. 12th May 2010 , I had to travel from Madurai to Chennai and approached a Travel agent who is known to me very well personally to book a ticket and had specifically told him not to book by Jayam / Sangita travels , I was given the assurance that the operation of Jayam Travels from Chennai is crappy whereas from Madurai it is one of the best after a long discussion I was convinced by my friend to try Sangita / Jayam once more this time on a Volvo AC bus (which had defective seats / AC etc..) , bus started at 10:30am , alas what a mistake I did the same thing repeated , seat selling went around Madurai and continued till Trichy , we reached Trichy at 1:30AM in the morning and bus left Trichy at 2:30AM , just before Chengalpet at 6:30AM bus broke down and we were told that it would not move beyond Chengalpet , as I had to go to office that day I boarded a government bus and reached Chennai. I suggest anyone wishing to travel should consider the below choices 1) Train If no booking available 2) Bus service run by KPN , ABT , Parveen. If no booking available 3) Government buses. Never try fly by operators like Sangita / Jayam Travels etc. Was this information helpful? | |||

Subject : Bad Experience with Sangitha Travels
Trip Information : June 20th, 2011 (Sunday), 10PM trip from Madurai to Chennai; Sangeetha Travels booked at Jaya Travels
Details :
Bus Fare was Rs.850 and the ticket description showed that hi-tech 2+2 35 seater A/C bus
I dont know how they are defining this??? it was just an ordinary bus with A/C. It was not even a Air Bus, i was able to hear the shock absorber sound (actually not shock absorber, its spring), it was such a good old bus
Even a sleeper A/C bus wont cost Rs.850
Bus started at 10:30PM from Periyar Bus Stand (instead of 10PM)
Diesel was filled and the bus moved from 11:00PM (instead of actual time 10PM)
Driving was very rude/rash, i was almost flying (When asked him to drive slow, driver said, its almost late, and he has to drive fast ; this is how accidents happen)
Extra persons :
1 person was sleeping in the path,
3 persons were present in the bus cabin including a mature girl
2 ladies were given last seat and were allowed to sit with men
Men booked with women sharing the nearby seat, i cant understand how booking happens!!!
A boy got into bus in Dindivanam, he was giving money to the cleaner... I dont know whether this is authorized with Bus Owner!!!
It was a very bad experience travelling in bus... Finally, it was a bumper lotter for the bus owner and it was a bank robbery for the customer.
