MTC Group — s 81 small bus erratic schedule

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600075

Small bus no. S 81, that runs from pozhichalur to chrompet had 4 buses running. But the service was reduced to 3. Again on a day to day basis 3 buses are not operated. Either 1 or 2 that too only in the morning hours – first half. Second half the bus is diverted to other routes.

Route no. M 52 that runs from pozhichalur to hasthinapuram, durga nagar, guduvancherry as big bus.
Many times small buses, especially s 81 are diverted to operate from chrompet to hastinapuram with the number m 52, resulting in no s 81 at all.

The frequent conductors and drivers informs that it is the chrompet bus depot branch manager mr yuvaraj is diverting and stopping services of s 81 for simple reason that there is no representation from the local residents who must come and meet him with request to continue the service. Not sure how and why a depot manager can take decisions to divert bus run by government. Collection can be gained only if bus runs properly and on time. Else how can people wait and commute in this route?

S 81 runs via pammal nallathambi road, which has only this bus for elders, school goers and women. Many times people wait for the bus for hours together especially at chrompet without any information whether the bus runs or not.

I request your immediate intervention and put back the service back into normalcy and ensure that a minimum of 3 buses runs at any scheduled time.
