This is about the poor maintenance of setc ud bus running between Chennai and Trichy. Few of the seats were only in good condition. Some of them are completely broken. The conductor doesn't have a answer, he simply regret. Take some action to look after the maintenance of buses that too running long distance.

Sir, I took a bus with my ailing mother (A21 – Express) from Chrompet today (21.08.2013 at 05:50 PM) (Bus no: TN 01 N 5745). My mother is 60 years old and we went to Chrompet to consult a doctor for her ailments. After boarding the bus, I asked the conductor to give me two tickets to Vandalur Gate Stop, he gave tickets of 9 rs. each but said the bus won’t stop at Vandalur Gate stop and I with my sick mother have to get down at Vandalur Zoo stop and catch another bus from there. Since, all buses except ultra-deluxe ones are required to stop at that bus stop, I asked him why he won’t stop there. For that he says he won’t stop there and if I want I can go request the driver to stop. I asked him why I should request the driver as Vandalur Gate is a compulsory stopping for this bus, for that he replied the bus will get late if he stops there. He further said that it will get late for them if he stops the bus at Vandalur Gate. I asked him whether the bus is for passengers to get to where they are going or for Drivers/Conductors to use as they wish. For that he said that he won’t stop the bus and I can do whatever I want. He didn’t stop the bus in Vandalur Gate and me and my mother had to get down at Vandalur Zoo stop and cross the road and catch another bus from there to get to Vandalur Gate. Three passengers other than us were also travelling to the same destination and they got down at Perungalathur itself since the conductor and driver harshly told them too that they won’t stop at Vandalur Gate Stop. Government have erected boards in the bus stop at Vandalur Gate that all buses except ultra-deluxe ones should stop in Vandalur Gate but not many drivers/conductors follow it. Buses are for people’s travel only and if driver’s and conductors doesn’t stop where they should then what is the point in government running buses? Drivers/Conductors like these think the bus they drive belong to them and passengers should not raise any questions against them. This is not a one-off incident and it frequently happens at our area. This has become a problem for people residing in our area as we have been forced to wait for white-board buses to come (which is not frequent) to travel from/to our stop. Ladies and elderly persons suffer a lot due to this. So, I request you to kindly take action against the above mentioned staff and take necessary action such that all buses stops at our place (Vandalur Gate). Yours Sincerely, K Sasi Kumar, Vandalur-48.

Hi,Good day!!! There are 4 Ultra Deluxe services starting from Chidambaram to Chennai as per the online portal. But out of the 4, 3 buses are new UD and one bus alone is a Super Deluxe instead o[censored]D service. This service usually starts @10PM from CDM to Chennai. This bus will be started at anytime in the 4 timings during night times.We are paying UD service charges in booking online, but we are getting a Super Deluxe bus class service. The seat condition is very bad and no push back. Yesterday when I travelled, there is a heavy rain and passengers seated near to window faces to stand whencome at night times eventhough they had made an advance booking.

I even complained the same to drivers,conductors running that bus, and with the ticket counter(SETC @ CDM), and also complained to Cuddalore head office. No positive action taken yet

It will be great if all the 4 services starting at night can be provided with UD service daily/atleast on Sundays where more people is travelling. Else, please change the service to Super Deluxe in online so that we can book accordingly. The charges also not getting refunded for plying a Super Deluxe services.

Looking for your positive response.

I usually board the bus 100 C (Cheranma nagar to Gandhipuram) from mani school at 8:10am. The bus arrives at Gandhipuram and then leaves to Cheranmanagar via Ganapathi. The bus driver Mr.Shanmuganathan was driving the bus today(06,Aug,2013). It is the usual practice of him as not to stop the bus at bus stops. Also he reaches much earlier to Gandhipuram bus stand and leaves from there earlier too. The bus timing mentioned in the time sheet at Gandhipuram is arrival at 08:20am and departure at 08:25am. But he usually reaches by 08:15am and leaves immediately.

I'm the regular passenger of that bus and board regularly from mani school travelling to vinayakapuram. Many time he will not stop the bus at mani school busstop. He stops only at the signal, if the red signal is turned on that too at the right side. If there is green signal he never stop at the bus stop. Not only at mani school, this happens in all the bus stops which is associated with signals.

I've found this behavior annoying as i am forced to switch two buses and get an auto or taxi to Vinayakapuram from Ramakrishna mills or wait for for another 40 min to get another 100 C.

This is not for the first time but it happens regularly. Today he repeated the same in spite of he noticing that the passengers are waiting for this bus. Added to that he reached Gandhipuram and did not stop there even for a minute.

An immediate action is required to stop this activity. Either he need to follow the timing and stop at the bus stops or if he is not willing to stop at all bus stops he can be changed to route buses where frequent stopping is not required or either he can be posted to route where frequency of buses are more.

Only two 100 C bus is running in that route and as it covers a remote area many people depend on those two buses. If we could't board into that bus as particular time we need to wait for another 1 hr to get another bus. We require a change in driver who can maintain the time and also stop at all the bus stops.

We request the TNSTC department to take required steps to provide correct service for passengers.

Dear sir/mam',
I work in a private organisation, an mnc named Honeywell automation India Ltd. My company has provided me laptop for my official works and I regularly carry my laptop during my site visits to various places like salem, karur, cuddalore. Today I started to salem from trichy for my regular site visit at malco, mettur by tnstc bus, carrying my office laptop with me. I paid the usual ticket fare of rs.85 towards travel from trichy to salem and got the ticket.The bus conductor asked me to take ticket for luggage charges against carrying laptop which weighs less than 3 kgs, a dell latitude e6410 model. I refused that since I have been travelling carrying my office laptop for years. He showed me a rule book mentioning luggage charges for computer, monitor, keyboard n other accessories. I explained him clearly that the computer meant a desktop n not a laptop. He refused to accept without any reasons and dropped me down from the bus at a remote bus-stop at an unusual time of 3.40am, returned the ticket amount and took away the ticket from me. This seriously undermines the purpose of laptops which we use for its portability.It raises questions on the improper understanding of the bus conductors and the revenue spent on educating and training them by the government. Requesting the concerned organisation to clarify and notify of any new rules imposed on luggage charges for carrying laptops

Respected Sir/madam

A government bus plying to chennai from vandavasi, stopped at the stop of poonammallee on 13/07/2013 at around 3:45, bus registration tn 09 8103 (supposedly vfrom vandavasi depot) and the conductor of the bus told only people travelling to koyambedu having re.4/- change can board the bus. He abused in a very uncivilised manner, using utmost foul language and pushing the ladies who had boarded down the footboard. I want some immediate action to be taken against him.

when I got inside the bus through front door ...conductor yelled at me for not entring through back door ...being a Female I felt more comfortable at front ...as the crowd were less there ....I don't understand why he shouted for that ....I payed for ticket also properly ......from Chennai ...adyar signal bus stop to rto thiruvanmiyur ...11:20 am..pp19x....tn 01 n 8246...

While Travelling from Salem to Vijayamangalam (comes Under Erode District) i have noticed that passengers Travelling from Salem whose destination point after Perundurai will be considered as Travelling from Salem to tiruppur irrespective of the place they get down. And i enquired the conductor about this , his reply which irritated me was we dont have proper tickets books, so we are issuing full(Salem to Tiruppur) tickets. I felt that the reply given by conductor was irresponsible. So i want the TNSTC authorities to look in to this and provide proper tickets. Because we dont want to pay for the place which we dont travel.

I booked a eticket (Rs.301) on 8.3.13 from chennai to karur (bus no. 429UD) at 8.05 pm . Actually the bus start in chennai cmbt at 8.45 pm and they take printout of passenger list at 8.02 pm , so my name is missed in passenger list. they alloted my sheet to unreserved passenger. i picked up only in perungalathur only. the conductor checked my name in passenger list. it was missing and another passenger(unreserved passenger) hired in my sheet. The conductor not accept my ticket and i forced to take new ticket(Rs. 255), and i travelled without sheet. Totally i paid Rs.556 for travel with no sheet.The whole night i m not sleep well. It is very irritated to me. Is there any possible to refund my money?
i found the printout time of the passenger list while i checking my name in passenger list which is shown by conductor.

Buses arriving from rural areas are parked on PH road in Arumbakkam creating havoc to the traffic in the morning hours. this must be stopped by authoritieso .the drivers park the bus on the road and go to the nearly tea shops for theis breakfast. Polices do not have the courage to take action because transport dept. do not respect polices as their union is strong.

Govt. Should take necessary action.,

Dear Sir,

Sub: Bus service not good and Mentally affected by travelling in the TAMAILNADU STATE TRANSPORT CORPORATATION from Salem to Bangalore.(TNSTC Corporation: Salem).

My name is Saravanakumar V. My house address in Bangalore is #46/99, 1st main, Lakshmi sagar layout, Mahadevapura, Bangalore. My mobile number is 91-[protected].

Recently, I booked a bus ticket from Salem to Bangalore on 13/10/2012. The class of bus is Ultra Deluxe IS. Departure time of the bus was 23:59.
My Ticket No: BB376140 & the trip code is 2359SALBANDD01U.

Bus Number: TN30 N0625

As a passenger, I am not happy with the service and money collected from me with other passengers.

Problems in the bus:

* The bus was having problem in the backside wheels and having the problem with Shocking observer. During the full time travel the bus was Jumping and so much noise and rain water came in to the bus. The bus is not have a good control for Drivers.

* The gear box having problem, so the noise level were more.

* The silencers & Tool box from back side are making more noises.

* No complaint box.

* No First Aid Box.

The passenger travelled in the bus scolded more and they were not happy with the Tamilnadu bus service with this facilities. Also most of the peoples are murmuring that the KSRTC bus is more better than the TNSTC.

I travelled earlier in the same bus and compliant to the Conductor. He was saying that we are not responsible for it sir & go and report to the office(TNSTC Salem Branch). I did so by explaining the problem with the bus but no action taken care when i was travelling again on 13/10/2012.

Request: My request is to stop the bus service until the bus fully serviced (or) running in the route with new bus. And the same bus should not be run anyother route before service, The bus will kill many number of people travelling on the road including passengers. The Officers should be punished including RTO's.

(I request you to travel in this bus one time and take my compliant with more serious.)

Thank you Very much
Regards
Saravanakumar

Hi,
Sep 8, 2012 travelled from Bangalore to Salem by Tamil Nadu transport - Salem. The bus started in Bangalore at 10:30 PM.Once bus started to move from bangalore the bus conductor switched on Audio system with full sound. As a passengers we have given to request switch off the audio system or reduce the sound. But simply they ignored and abused who has given the request. They were speaking if you want to reach salem be quite and go to you sit. They used some bad words also. They are treating very badly. Till salem they didnt switch off the audio system. My sincere request would be tamilnadu transport corporation should take action to remove audio and video system from long journey bus. The bus no is: TN 30 N 1066.

We are not sure about bus conductor and driver's name. Please try to take action on removing video and audio system.
