I would like to raise a formal complaint with SETC about Bed bugs on their busses. If they are not able to control the Bed bugs in their busses better they take back their service.

I had been repeatedly informing the conductors of the busses and no response till date.

My sincere advice to every single person to avoid taking up SETC busses for transport....
