all bus drivers stooping d buses for d passengers but that makes d pedestraints to struggle those who r waiting to cross d roads while crossing as they r stopping d bus before d pedestrian crossings.. if so pedestrients have to wait till d buses taken off though no vehicle behind d bus comes .. but if d bus drivers stop d buses after pedestrian crossings it will be useful for d pedestriants to cross and look any vehicle comes before crossings.. pls think yourself and act accordingly and make it as a rule..it might save d lives in certain circumstances..

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

I had booked ticket in setc, ultra deluxe bus on oct18 2013, fri 9.25pm bus. Most of the seats are damaged and window glasses were broken and no window locks. it was not worth an ultra deluxe . When We asked the conductor about this, he didn't respond at all and refused to give the complaint number. In future pls avoid these buses because they are not safe as well. I have attached my reservation ticket details with a big hope I am writing this complaint. Please take necessary action. Regards Dinesh, [protected].

Hi,
Am Priya .An 18 years old college student from Trichy . I would like to let u know about the incident happened today while travelling from trichy to tanjore . The conductor of the bus ( TN.45.N 1963 ), i have noted him many times while travelling in tat bus . it is an express bus ( kumbakonam ) . He wont give the balance money to the passengers and if they ask for their money he vil start shouting at them as if they had commited a mistake . And today it happened to me .He din't give my money .And also his behaviour was not gud with me and also with other girls travelling in that bus . please make a note of it and take serious actions.

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.

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.

I have booked tickets in tnstc through my login on[protected]. one ticket for Trichy-Chennai travel on 6th september (PNR no T5537182) and two more tickets for Chennai-Trichy travel on 9th september (PNR no B5537323). Now i want to cancel both my tickets. Once i logged in to my account... There is no booking history of the 3 tickets i booked. It says no valid tickets available to cancel. I have those tickets in hand.. When i called the customer...

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...
