Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation [TNSTC] — Parking of BUS at Terminal at Multiple Roads culmination junction.

Good Morning.

I am a Senior Citizen staying at Sriram Nagar ( Eswar Nagar ) Chettipalayam Road Podanur.

This mail is sent as a last resort to get a long time issue resolved.

This is a grievance pertaining to the Bus No 4 R/ S which runs between Eswar Nagar to Kathirnaickenpalayam ( beyond Thudiyalur).

The Morning Trip which terminates at Eswar Nagar Chettipalayam Road Podanur is terminated at Balaji Bakery at the entrance to Sriram Nagar Chettipalayam Road Podanur with the Driver parking the vehicle on the main Road and they leave the vehicle there and go for breakfast to Konar Mess at the location.

Inspite of repeated reminders to park the vehicle at the terminus point ( a little farther near Hotel Poongodi ) or at the opposite Bus Stop at location, the crew does not heed to the request .

Similarly since the vehicle is parked at the location, being a terminus, some citizens take to the freedom of being seated in the parked vehicle as the Bus is ready for its next trip starting from the Terminus ( of Eswar Nagar Chettipalayam Road Podanur) to its next destination. The crew object to this stating that the citizens need to get down and board the bus at the opposite location which is the Bus Stop.

The argument is agreed. But the Crew does not have the right to park the Bus on the Main Road, which is a crucial junction and being a multi roads culminating point, parking a vehicle near a Bakery ( adjacent to their breakfast location/ hotel ) for the convenience of the Crew is also an offence, which needs to be viewed seriously.

The Crew may kindly be advised suitably in the matter to

a. Stop immediately, the parking of the vehicle in front of Balaji Bakery at Sriram Nagar Chettipalayam Road Podanur
b. Avoid the problems created by the Public Transport carrier being parked at a multi roads converging point and accidents happening there
c. Get the vehicle Parked at the terminal point and facilitate the general public board the vehicle and be comfortably seated until the crew finish the breakfast at the hotel just opposite the parking lot which is at only a small walking distance.
d. Immediately ensure compliance of the request, which has been given a scant respect by the Crew of 4 R/ S Route Number operating from Eswar Nagar Chettipalayam Road Podanur ( especially at peak hour / Busy Hour of the starting time of 9 AM ) to Kathirnaickenpalayam beyond Thudiyalur.

The inconvenience caused by this communication is regretted Sir.

Can we have your kind attention to the matter and look forward to your favourable reply in the matter.
