Individual — Irregular/bunching of buses

29 C-White board buses from Besantnagar -Perambur, very irregular between 9.45 am-11am.When we enquire, the crew says traffic jam, and hence delay How 29-C deluxe buses, Tiruvanmiyur to Perambur alone are plying frequently, many times we have observed, There would be 4to 5 buses in Besantnaagar depot, the crew will not take the bus Once a bus crew starts, others follow immediately within a gap of 5 mins .thereby all the buses would have moved out., thereby bunching This results in empty buses subsequently and after all these buses move out, , there would be a long waiting period for another bus.. This happens regularly, time keeper has no control. in bunching of buses .Why cannot the buses leave in a gap of 15 mins.I have been asking for express/deluxe buses from Besant nagar in this route, which will bring better revenue.
Besantnagar, terminal operates 5E, 23C, 47.I have observed there is no problem with these buses, as they operate frequently, and even when more than 2 buses of each route is moving, still you cannot find 29 c, leaving the depot.Appears attitude of the crew, both drivers & conductors.Need to examine to rectify this anamoly, and monitor with a stand keeper.The crew does not stop buses at velankinni bus shelter, when proceeding from Besant nagar depot, instead they make passengers to run to board the bus to the drivers whims and fancy.Crew complaints, no collection because of free tickets for ladies in this route .You may consider ladies bus in this route without conductor, because free tickets, and for other passengers express or Deluxe services 29C.Pls. look into this problem and improvr services.

A senior MTC staff should physically be in Besant nagar depot, especially morning 8-11am and evening 3-8Pm to ensure improvement in 29c buses, and also a stand conductor, at Velankanni church stop to ensure all route buses stop at the shelter bus stop. The corporation has spent 10 lakhs for the steel bus shelter with advertisement, but no bus crew respects the corporation and public money spent for the shelter. The crew complains passengers are not standing in the shelter. This is because, the drivers soon after they turn, they do not drive the bus to the shelter.it is their casual approach.

Still bunching of buses happen, since, pressure on crew for number of single trips to be finished by the crew before their duty hours is over for the day Time keeper has no role or power, except he notes down the trips in and out timings.
All route buses from Besant Nagar depot, do not stop in front of the bus shelter near velankanni church stop. If you ask the crew, they say people are not standing in the bus shelter .If all route buses stop regularly at bus shelter, people will stand properly and wait for the bus. By not stopping at the bus shelter, these buses cause traffic jam and block vehicles, especially when there is a crowd.What happened to express /Deluxe buses on 29 C.
