Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation [TNSTC] Complaints & Reviews

Sir i have booked a ticket in reservation counter Mannargudi, Thiruvarur DT today and I have request them to book seat number 3&4 but they are refused to book that seat numbers even though it is available. They said our higher officials instructed us it will be allotted to Disabled only. Is there any circular sent regarding this? I believe, conductors and the employees are joint together and do not book front seats till travelling date...

I was travelling from madurai to chennai. The bus is in worst condition the seats are not good they are broken and we couldn't travel properly. This is happening often. Bus number is TN 67 N0428. the window rods are rusty and it's dangerous near our eyes!! We need safety for us during travel and this should be taken under action and should be rectified!!

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to convey the Incident happened yesterday morning at TNSTC - Bus, to the notice of Concerned Higher Official.I am working in a private concern at chidambaram.I used to travel to chidambaram via Nagappattinam once in a week.Yesterday morning I travelled in a TNSTC - Bus(TN.68.N0307) from Ngapattinam to Chidambaram. The.The bus was taken sharply at 7.35.am. and reached Karaikkal at 8.45.am.They have taken 1 hr 15min to travel just 20km. I.I have asked the Conductor and Driver about this delay, and also asked them to refund my balance amount and decided to Quit my travel at Karaikkal itself, because usually other buses take only half an hour to cross this distance(20kms).Also they have displayed that the bus was Express and Charged Rs.50 as bus fare.I again asked about the delay and they have insulted me in front of all other passengers and also said that "Government buses will be going like this and No one can raise question against a Government employee, compliant to any Higher official if you can, we never bother about it" I just complained to the Tnstc Reporting officer at karaikkal, he too replied the same. I can't digest one thing, even-though they are not accepting their mistake, but insulting the common man, who point out their mistake.So I kindly request the higher official to take necessary action on them.I don't know their name, that's why I have mentioned the registration number of the bus and time.I also attached the scanned copy the ticket along with this mail. Due to their Lethargy I lost my One day salary due to lack of attendance on time.Kindly do the needful. With Regards, Mohammed Salimmalik S (A Common Man)

Dear sir,
In Chennai "SLF" bus service doesn't static based on it's Name board.like that WHITE board low FARE 4RS, in Green board low fare 6Rs.Blue(Deluxe), LED name board same as Madurai 7& 9Rs. so y this partiality consider by Tamilnadu Government have In high fare collect in madurai.consider as a request to reduce the ticket fare in MADURAI same as CHENNAI, Because Madurai is poverty level is high compare to Chennai.Chennai money sharing or Turnover is huge.so consider as request to reduce City Bus fare to Madurai people.

This Friday(8/14/2014) I had to face several issues when i travelled a round trip from chennai to vellore and vice versa. I booked a AC VOLVO bus at 2pm from CHENNAI to VELLORE and a return bus from VELLORE to CHENNAI at 6PM. (I had to pick some one from there and return on the same day).Below is what happened Though the schedule departure of the Bus 502 was 2pm from CHENNAI, I did NOT find any bus in that time(I was waiting at the bus stoppage from 1.30PM ) . The bus came around 2.45 PM and the conductor argued about that it is not the time to board the bus.I boarded this bus and I reached VELLORE around 5.30PM. I returned back to the bus terminus at 5.55 PM. I didn't see any bus . I asked the time keeper about the bus and he asked to me wait. I waited for 1.30 hrs. Finally 1 volvo bus(502) came, but the conductor asked us to board the next bus as they will not allow any reserved passengers. Then the next bus came after 10 mins and the conductor again argued that it is not 6 PM bus . When I checked time-keeper's copy of the bus timings, it had a bus(502 volvo) departing from VELLORE at 6pm . Inconvenience at it' best. I came before 6 PM at new vellore bus terminus, no bus was there, I waited for 1.30 hrs and the conductor was not allowing us to enter. After that They allowed me to board the bus after we argued for 30 mins. I reached chennai around 11.45. In the middle it started raining and the place where i was sitting, water was leaking out and we became wet also. SO there is a list of all the issues I had to face: 1. Bus was not punctual. 2. Bus was not there at the scheduled time of departure when i had a reservation on that time 3. Rude behaviour of conductor. 4. Very bad infrastructure of the "AC VOLVO bus " ... ac knobs broken and it leaks when it rains... I am lodging this complaint because i don't expect it from TNSTC as its a reputed corporation

Sir/Madam I am Lenindurai ([protected], [protected]@hotmail.com) residing in neyveli block-19, Dated 27/7/2014, 3/8/2014, 10/8/2014Conductor is not allowing to sit in any of the seats in front up to seat no 20, Though i come early. Speaking in abusing words which is irritating. Though these seats are empty the driver/conductor of theses bus services are not allowing any of the passengers. i have requested the driver/conductor for the seat in front as i have come early. They refused to offer and abusing which is totally unacceptable. They do not know how to speak to passengers. They are allocating these seats to their friends/relatives but not to us. Please take this in priority and resolve this issue. Further the bus service that operate at this time is not under reservation.

I boarded the SETC bus from Pondicherry to Bangalore on 3rd August @ 22.30. Early morning today(4th August) around 4 to 5 AM, we all shaken up by a thunderous sound and then realized our bus got hit the tree on the opposite direction of the road. There were screaming of people for help and then we realized, that there were no EMERGENCY EXIT or no marking to this effect in this bus. I was seated in seat no 15, and the seats before me got jammed or broken. The conductor got seriously injured and was lying down the seat with blood all around. 5 passengers got seriously hit and one who couldn't move or even shake his right leg and a lady's face was seriously injured. However the driver came down the bus unhurt and instead of helping the passengers or conductor, he simply collected his bags and belongings, came to the left side to pick up the conductor's cash box and then no trace of him. We passengers helped each other to pull out the conductor down and carry down the very seriously injured young men. Passer by where kind enough to tell which place it was exactly (Jayadevi 15 kms near Krishnagiri) and helped the accident victims by calling ambulance. 108 help came only after 45mins to 1 hour. Other passengers who were hurt minorily were treated after some time by another ambulance which came, By now we could see the driver around us with all his belongings and no remorse to what happened to his passengers. Only when I went up to him and asked whether he will be arranging another vehicle or stop the vehicles passing by to transport the balance passengers, he has no response to me and then only calling the depot. With no other help coming from this driver or the police vehicle there, passengers started to move one by one by arranging our mode of vehicles and happen to travel standing from the accident spot till Bangalore carrying the accident trauma in mind. It shows the very lack of training during emergency or attitude still our Government bus drivers carry towards the work or passengers and the quality of seats provided, which couldn't resist to these types of impact. SEAT BELT could have saved many people getting hit in their faces/head. Not sure when government is going to put in these safety measures for its passengers. In a hope that this be made to the notice of the executive team to take action and prevent such accidents future or when such incident happen, at least what can be done to quickly save people & their lives.

I have booked tickets for me and my friends in TNSTC SETC bus from Chennai to Coimbatore on 25th July 2014. Since it late for us to reach Koyembedu Station on time, the respective bus conductor sold our tickets to someone and they were misbehaving with us without giving us the allocated seats. Since they did like this to us, We had to take another bus from there which it made us to pay 700/head and it came up to Rs.5600 totally. So for travelling alone we spent nearly Rs.10000 because of this SETC conductor behaviour. Please help me in refunding the amount.

He is the senior citizen, but he doesn't know how to behave with passengers. NOTE: Remaining passengers had carried and showed their E-ticket during checking time, but conductor didn't ask for ID proof for checking with none of passenger. Then what he is checking in the paper. The same i had showed in my Mobile", he refused and talking rubbish. Kindly advise him. Your immediate action will be highly Appreciated.
