Hi all,
Please find below conversations of the issue we faced and request tnstc for handling this issue and processing for refund of rs. 890 approx.
Background: we booked ticket in tnstc bus for travelling on 17th april, 19.
The boarding point was mentioned as cmbt and departure time is at 8.45 pm.
Me: we tried calling conductor to inform that we will be boarding at perungalathur as we are nearby tambaram but couldn't talk due to network issue.
And, finally contacted conductor at 9.30 pm and informed that we will be boarding at perungalathur
Conductor: but the conductor informed that the bus waited for us till 9.30 pm in cmbt and he allotted the seat to other 2 people which we booked and also informed the depot.
Me: when we requested conductor to clear our booked seats, he said he can't do that and asked us to stand and travel in the same bus.
I said, we have booked the ticket and why we should travel by standing, he said he can't do anything on this and asked us to talk to cmbt depot and 2 seats in another bus.
On 17th, all the government bus were full and heavy traffic was prevailing in the chennai city. How can i travel again from perungalathur to cmbt and further explain the issue to tnstc depot officers. I will reaching at midnight around 12 pm as i was till 11 pm waiting for the bus which i booked.
Conclusion:
(I) this really kills the passengers like us.
(Ii) the conductor job is to check with passenger for arrival before departing the bus and in my case, i did not receive any call.
(Iii) 2 people who did not book the ticket travelled in my seat without confirming with us by the conductor of our travel plan on the day
(Iv) request the tnstc to process for refund.
