[Resolved] Southern Railways — IMPROPER WORKING OF ATVM AND LOSS OF MONEY | |
hello sir... As a citizen of india i would to bring to your kind notice an incident which happened early in the morning setting off a mood off tone for the whole day.I had to travel to Guindy from St.Thomas Mount in a local train in Chennai.Calculating the rush present at all hours at the ticket counter i have purchased a SMART CARD for my family.On Sunday my daughter had to attend an Competitive exam and early morning to avoid the rush i swiped my card for ticket. Once the transaction was over my amount of Rs.8/- was deducted but the ticket didnt print. When questioned about the railway authorities people in the ticket booking counter gave a very irresponsible response. When i shouted at them in disgust of the happening they insulted me showing faces and using a false slang. When asked for refunding of the money or issuing another ticket in place of the money i have lost because of the smart card they denied as well people inside came out and switched off the machine. They very carelessly said i[censored] have any grievances just inform the station master we will see to it. when informed the station master also gave a very cold response.I again purchased a return ticket standing in the queue to attend the exam. There was no proper response as well i request the railway authorities to refund the money to my account. If there is a proper response then i would wish to submit my smart card number privatley in mail.Thank you,.waiting for the complaint to be attended. Was this information helpful? | |

Here is another similar story!
This morning I used my Smart Card SR 0146235 the ATVM Kiosk, East Tambaram Railway Station. After making my selection for a Beach Return ticket the machine and gong through the entire procedure, the machine deducted Rs. 20 but did not dispense the ticket!
In the meanwhile a person who facilitate at the kiosk arrived and used the same card at the 2nd machine installed there and generated the ticket. As this was a fresh transaction an additional Rs. 20 was deducted from my account. I was frustrated but could not complain to anyone and moreover I was in a hurry.
In the evening when I tried to get a ticket from Egmore to Beach Jn. using an ATVM at Egmore Railway station the same incident was repeated and I had to stand in the queue to get my ticket. In the process I lost Rs. 25 from my card!
When I informed the ticket issuing clerk about this incident, I got a big broad smile and asked me to lodge a complaint. The cost of the smile was Rs. 25!!
