[Resolved]  TNSTC — Beware of SETC conductors !. Good one !!!!! ( Don't miss it )

Address: Erode, Tamil Nadu

I want to share an incident which happened couple of weeks before in my
life.
I went to my native to attend a marriage and after attending it, me and
my brother were returning back to bangalore. It was Tuesday so buses are
free and I didn't book the ticket. We got a ticket in an Ultra Deluxe
bus.The fare is 175 rupees per person. I bought 2 tickets by giving 400
rupees. The conductor didn't give me the balance amount of 50 rupees and I
have asked him to return it back, but he refused and he started arguing with
me and literally told me that you cannot speak rules and at last he had
taken the ticket and gave 400 bugs back to me as if he is the owner of the
bus. That poor fellow didn't realize that he works for public.
I was shocked and I don't have any other way, so we have accepted it and
gave Rs 400 to get the tickets back. but some thing was hindering me. I
thought to do something about it and surprisingly I saw a phone number
written inside the bus, where we can place our complaints. I called them and
shared this incident. They told me that they will call me back in 5 mins.
After 3 mins the conductor came to me and had given me the remaining
amount and asked me to call them back. I felt really good and I started
sleeping.
Around 2:30 AM two checking inspectors entered in to the bus and they
found that the conductor was cheating like anything. He has given old
invalid ticket for 5 passengers.
Rs 1000 he was cheating on that day. Just imagine if he continues this for
years, how much will be the loss for government and public.
Last weekend again I went to my native and heard from my uncle that SETC
has started checking the tickets and conductors rigorously in reservation
buses. When I heard this I really felt that I have done something for the
society.

Thanks,
Priya
