[Resolved]  TNSTC — Bus not stopped in the bus stop

Address:

Tamil Nadu

I usually board the bus 100 C (Cheranma nagar to Gandhipuram) from mani school at 8:10am. The bus arrives at Gandhipuram and then leaves to Cheranmanagar via Ganapathi. The bus driver Mr.Shanmuganathan was driving the bus today(06,Aug,2013). It is the usual practice of him as not to stop the bus at bus stops. Also he reaches much earlier to Gandhipuram bus stand and leaves from there earlier too. The bus timing mentioned in the time sheet at Gandhipuram is arrival at 08:20am and departure at 08:25am. But he usually reaches by 08:15am and leaves immediately.

I'm the regular passenger of that bus and board regularly from mani school travelling to vinayakapuram. Many time he will not stop the bus at mani school busstop. He stops only at the signal, if the red signal is turned on that too at the right side. If there is green signal he never stop at the bus stop. Not only at mani school, this happens in all the bus stops which is associated with signals.

I've found this behavior annoying as i am forced to switch two buses and get an auto or taxi to Vinayakapuram from Ramakrishna mills or wait for for another 40 min to get another 100 C.

This is not for the first time but it happens regularly. Today he repeated the same in spite of he noticing that the passengers are waiting for this bus. Added to that he reached Gandhipuram and did not stop there even for a minute.

An immediate action is required to stop this activity. Either he need to follow the timing and stop at the bus stops or if he is not willing to stop at all bus stops he can be changed to route buses where frequent stopping is not required or either he can be posted to route where frequency of buses are more.

Only two 100 C bus is running in that route and as it covers a remote area many people depend on those two buses. If we could't board into that bus as particular time we need to wait for another 1 hr to get another bus. We require a change in driver who can maintain the time and also stop at all the bus stops.

We request the TNSTC department to take required steps to provide correct service for passengers.
