Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation [TNSTC] Complaints & Reviews

Complaint1 : I am college student.. my native place is Cuddalore and am now doing my B.E in Coimbatore. I will travel to cuddalore in SETC bus service available from cbe to puducherry.

There are two routes to reach cuddalore
1.cbe->salem->virudhachalam->cuddalore->pondy (bus route no:839UD)
2..cbe->salem->panruti->cuddalore->pondy (bus route no:842 and 842UD)

for the last three months the buses via route 842 and 842UD is passing through virdhachalam ONLY so we cant able to get down at regular stop in cuddalore and They forced me to get down at Cuddalore bus stand... we argued with that conductor but he didn't responded properly . Because of this cuddalore passengers suffering lot for this.

Why should we plead the conductor to do his duty.

Hi,

Subject: TNSTC villupurum transport bus not stopping at busstop.

On Friday, dated:[protected] Time(10.00AM) journey (from pondicherry to chennai), the bus from Pondicherry to chennai of TNSTC villupuram transport Bus No: TN32 -N - 2375, did not stop at the new Ekaduthangal busstop. I argued to the conductor there is a stopping at Ekadduthangal and even the SETC buses are stopping and there would be a time keeper even. The conductor refused to accept and didnt stop at the required stopping. They forced me to get down at the signal before the required stopping. This was even brought before the Time keeper who was standing there, and he was not ready to respond properly.

Why should we plead the conductor to do his duty.
Would welcome if this complaint reaches the rensponsible incharges.

Regards,

Hemalatha.

Sir,
I am John Joson J from Bangalore. I went to the Satellite Bus stand in Bangalore to see off my Aunt and my cousin who had come over to my place for the holidays. They were on their way to Gudalur on the bus which was scheduled to leave by 23:30 to OOTY. we were there by 22:40 PM. The conductor said the bus will leave by 23:30. As we were waiting the conductor of the bus switched off the lights in the bus and said the driver was drunk and the bus will start only by 5:30 in the morning. I informed the conductor that i will file a complaint. During this time the driver in Lungi (an attire worn in South India when you go to sleep) came drunk and asked what was happening and the conductor pulled him away. I called the TNSTC Coimbatore division # listed online[protected]. I told the person on the other end about what was happening. He took a note of the information provided and also asked me to submit a written complaint addressed to the General Manager - TNSTC coimbatore division. Then the conductor came out after sometime and said the bus will move by 00:00 AM. There were 6 passengers in the Bus. The bus finally moved by 00:50 AM. The Bus # TN 38 N 1486. The Bus Driver Name Govindan (i dont know if it is true as it was given by the Conductor).

Thanks & Regards,

John Joson J

i travelled in TNSTC bus from chennai to hosur, it was a TNSTC ultra delux bus, i travelled in the night, it was the the most terriable journey in my life, it started itching all over my body, something was biting in my hands, legs, neck etc then due to itching there was swelling all over my body, later i found it was the moota puchi(its a insect) that insect was hiding in the seat corner and its biting is terrible, i was in hell that night

its because the buses are not maintained and cleaned properly, these kind of problems are also there in privateb omni buses like mettur travels, kalai magal travels, kpn travels ets

Yesterday (29th Oct 2008) I travelled in Ultra delux TNSTC Salem depot bus from Madurai to Hosur. It was much crowded. The moment (9:45 PM) bus entered into Arappalayam bus stand in Madurai it got full, luckyly I got one seat. Driver and conductor allowed passenger only who want to go to Hosur and they said fare is Rs 220/-. After 10 mins the bus was about to move the conductor started issuing tickets and he mentioned ticket is now Rs 350/- those who are not willing to pay this amount they can get down. Everyone the bus refused to pay that price, I asked why this sudden increase in rate, they replied the order is from their higher official, I asked both driver and conductor to take me to their official, they took me to their office room. There one person (name I dont know) said the order came from Salem Depot, if passengers are not willing to pay they will cut the trip. And they refused to tell me under which rule they increased the price.


I have the ticket for Rs 350/- with me.

Bus Number : TN 30 N 0380
Time : 10:00 PM
Date : 29th Oct 2008
Driver Name : Krishnamoorthy
DNo : 2731
RNo : 69628


Please let me know can we make a full stop for this issue?? I am ready to give my full support to carry over with this issue.


(This kind of incident may happen in many places, and we should not encourage this in future else in later point of time the cite bus conductor also will increase the fare dynamically if he finds more crowed)
