I booked Ultra deluxe bus from hosur to Chennai, instead UD they have given normal bus and they force to travel in the normal bus saying a stupid reason" The bus is full of bugs and it went for service" Every one was fighting but the supervisor is not at all responsible at all... .Since its a sunday night we havent got any another bus and no other option. I cant forget the Night which i travelled in a hell. I never ever go in TNSTC again in, my life for ever.

        I traveled on[protected]:15 PM from Nagercoil to Chennai by 295UD. The bus left Nagercoil @ 2:15 PM. The bus would have to reach Chennai @ 2:15 AM the next day. But it reached @ 9 AM with traveling time of 19 hours. It was the torture for the passengers. The bus was not in proper condition to ply for long distances.The authorities are requested take action.

          Today morning i took the bus in punnam chatram for going to karur.The bus fare is Rs 6 i had gave Rs 10 to conductor.He said no change and he will not give balance rs 4 to me.One of my friend also travelling with me he gave correct amount RS 6 to him.THe conductor has much coins in his cash bag.He was not willing to give changes to passengers like me.Many of them said these types of issues abt the conductor.If there is no change means we can tolerate.Purposly he is doing like that to all.Pls warn the transport employee and advise not to use bad words to the passengers.

              Dear Sir
              My Son was traveling from Tambaram to Thiruvalam ( On the way to Chittoor ) on 12th Jan 2014 at 9.00 AM from Tambaram. But while leaving board also was with Chittoor and nobody informed the bus will go upto Kanchipuram only. But while issuing ticket, Conductor refused to give ticket upto Thiruvalm and informed that the bus will stop at Kanchipuram for a while for change of driver and conductor. Conductor informed all the passenger those who are traveling upto Chiitoor can wait in the bus stand with luggages and children. After dropping the passenger the bus was gone out from Bus stand and it didn't turn up for atleast 2 hours till then all the passengers were standing in the bus stand. After about 2.5 hours the same bus has come back and the conductor changed the board to Tambaram and left bus stand. The entire officials are to be punished for this irresponsible behaviour. No one is responsible for any thing. At Tambaram itself the bus board name was mentioned for Kanchipuram, the passengers should have taken some other alternate source to go upto Chittoor. Who are all responsible for this should be defenetly punishable otherwise I will go to Consumer Court. Already private buses are dominating and if the services are so poor from government then you have to totally close these transport offices.My son spent about 8 hours to reach Tambaram to Thiruvalam with lot of mental worries.

                        Coimbatore, This morning(19/10/2013), I have boarded at Ghandhipuram in government bus and got ticket to reach GN Mills, I gave the conductor (Rangaraj) 10 rupees as the fare is Rs.4.00. He told that he would give the balance amount later. After few minutes, I asked him the balance 6 rupees but he didn't respond me. The second time when I asked the balance he asked for any change and I gave him Rs.1 and he gave me balance Rs.7 (one five rupees note (look very damaged) and an two rupee coin). So I gave that damaged five rupees note back to conductor and asked for better one. After that he was roaming here and there and was not responding to me. I asked him many times for the balance and he was just staring at me. I was insulted by him many times as many other people around me were watching. Actually he was giving the balance to all other passengers and I was the one cornered as I have given him back the damaged five rupees note (Earlier given by him to me). Finally at the last stage where I have to get down I asked him again for 2 times for the balance. I got the balance. I was worried by this kind of bad service. Bus no: TN38 N 2710 Bus Route : 32G (Ghandhipuram to Vellamadai) Boarded at : Ghandhipuram on 19/10/2013 at 11.30 am Conductor Name: Rangaraj

                            Usually on sundays, From Mettur to Chennai i didn't get tickets. If i go on friday to get ticket for sunday they ask me to come on sunday. if i go on sunday they told all tickets are booked on friday itself. Conductors and Drivers itself giving the tickets to their relatives or known people. Please bring a online registration. This is very difficult for us to get a normal bus and go to chennai. Please consider this as high priority issue.

                              Hi sir Im Manjunath working in electronic city Bangalore . I commute daily using tnstc bus. I dont prefer a ksrtc bus just coZ I wanted my Tn govt to earn revenue. I had a worst experience today when I commute to Bangalore from hosur. I got it in to a Salem to Bangalore bus in hosur. Daily I pay rs 30 for commuting to electronic city Bangalore. But today conductor mistakenly printed a 38 rs ticket for a other passenger in the place of 45 rs ticket. So he somehow cheats me saying this s special bus so u have To pay Rs 38 .which is actually for a different stop . And I denied coz daily I pay Rs 30 for commuting. But the conductor was rude to me. And made me get down in a empty place . I had To walk 2 kms for a bus stop to catch a bus. This is ridiculous. I pay all my taxes . I pay IT road tax. Everything . But a common man like me got insulted like by this incident. I have failed to note the conductor name. But I have bus number and the time of commuting BUS NO TN 30 N 0676 TIME OF BUS DEPARTURE IN HOSUR IS 9:50 PM DATE 19/09/2013 BUS ROUTE : SALEM TO Bangalore I hope I Will get a prompt action from your end.

                                  I am traveling in route no 131UD bus from chennai to Arantangi on 7th sep 2013. I would like to appreciate the driver, because of his patience and dedication in driving such a worst bus ever. Also i an not sure how people are commuting in this bus daily which is in terriblle condition. First the bus don't have sackupser on both rear wheels. Second windows are not movable and static. To add pain to the butt when we were traveling it started raining, and we took shower while traveling. It was a nice experience and new one too. Not sure will some one take necessary action..believe that AMMA will address this issue which is big pain for middle class people like us

                                    It is really very poor, bad performance by the SETC site for the last three days (Today is 6th Sept 2013) & this problem still prevails. We (people) are not able to book ticket stating SERVER BUSY, TRY AFTER SOMETIMES for consecutive third day. Also we are not able to compliant about this in toll free number (getting busy tone). What to do now? What is happening in SETC? Are the insider in corporation booking tickets for their convenience in sight of coming Vinagar chathudi, Diwali holidays. Do not mistake me, for this harsh words. Because, all the happenings are mimic like this only.

                                    It still happens to me. I'm not able to book any tickets in SETC bus. When we choose set, payment gateway section is working and when i select source and destination place, it shows many buses with available tickets but when i try to book, the page is not getting loading properly. I got the below type of messages. Still the issue is persist. Kindly fix the issue permanently.
