Respected Sir/Mam,
I am writing this to bring your attention to a serious issue which I faced today while travelling in a DTC Bus (Bus no. DL1PD4757, route no. 154). Today at around 12:35 PM, I took a bus from my nearby stand (Village Akbarpur Majara Last Bus Stand), the bus is showing its route by showing its route no. 129 (Jhingola Village to Old Delhi Railway Station), I sat in the bus neither the Driver nor the conductor told the passengers that their time of work is over and they left us at Akbarpur Majara Crossing. I have already taken the ticket from the Chartr app. They parked the bus there and asked us to take a new bus. So, as I have already taken the ticket, I waited for about 15-20 min at Akbarpur Majara Crossing, and a Bus of route no. 154 came. I hurriedly boarded the bus as today is my exam at 3 pm at Kirori Mal College. I didn't take the ticket as I have already brought one and informed the conductor about the same (it's same as usually buses stopped working due to technical issues and then we shifted to a new bus with the same ticket), everything is going good, until 3 Ticket Checkers boarded in the bus from Alipur underpass, and one asked me for the ticket. I showed him the ticket which I took before in the 129 route bus and explained that the total 3 buses are stopped at Akbarpur Majara Crossing and I have already taken the 15 rs. ticket in Chartr app. I showed him the Ticket and also mentioned that the time is clearly visible on the ticket and I am saying the truth. I also showed him the video I shoot on my phone, in which its clearly visible that buses are stopped there. But they didn't listened me and forced me to pay 200 rs as fine. The lady conductor of the bus also refused to admit that the buses are not there but everything is clearly visible in the video and the screenshot I took in the Chartr app (clearly visible buses are standing there). They all seemed to be illiterate guys as they spoke in rude and in a disrespectful way. They are just literally forcing me to pay the fine or otherwise I leave the bus. I am in such a hurry because I had an exam at 3 pm and already running late for the same. I tried my best to assure them that I'm an honest guy by showing him the all tickets I purchased through the Chartr app recently. In the end, I avoided the quarrel with them and handed over 200 rs. to them. This whole incident is very shameful. As a student of a reputed college and a responsible citizen i know all the rules & regulations and respects them. Due to this incident, I felt very ashamed in the bus and I even ended up getting more in my examination. I request the Delhi Transportation Authority to take a serious action against this corrupt behavior of employees. They must be punished for such a shameful and unprofessionalism act. It will be kind of you if you let my money back to me, because I'm a student & respectful citizen of India, and it's a hard earned money of my parents.
(I'm attaching all the proofs in this complaint and expecting a positive response from your end)
Sincerely
Himanshu
