TNSTC — Buses not running at proper time between Mettur & Dharmapuri

Address:

Salem, Tamil Nadu

I usually be travelling between Mettur and Dharmapuri. I am always facing problem like on friday night I will never get bus to Mettur and I have to wait for more than 1 hr or 1 hr 30 mins. I find buses very rarely around 8.00pm to 10.30 pm. Mostly only one bus depart to Mettur at this time range. If we inquire about this to the available TNSTC supervisors, they would respond in a offensive manner or they will tell 'Bus vandhathan!'. This is not happening in recent time it is happening for months and years. If it is special occasion then thats all, we have to wait for atleast 2 hrs for single bus and that too they will tell only people going to Mettur should get in and it will not stop between Thoppur and Mecheri. As most of them waiting for Mettur are farmers, these TNSTC staffs treat them very badly and they too try to beg them to stop in some place, but no courtesy. There will be so many Mettur buses come from Mettur to Dharmapuri, they will redirect them to Salem, even if there are so many people eagerly waiting for Mettur. I have lot of issues to report here like, few of the mare, 1. No proper timing for buses to Mettur and Dharmapuri 2. Conductors unethical offensive behavior 3. Not stopping buses in all/passengers needed bus stop Also on Sunday morning, from Mettur to Dharmapuri, there is no bus till 5.30am. It is really too much as previously they use to operate on bus from Erode to Dharmapuri via Mettur around 2.30am in Mettur, but now a days this bus is not at all coming, Another bus around 3.45am departs from Mettur, that bus is also not coming in these days. Another bus starts arounf 5.00am from Mettur, this bus is the first bus to Dharmapuri from Mettur. Please look into this issue, really this annoys many of them who are traveling for some business purpose, work related, marriage, etc. As a whole I just want you to monitor how buses are being run between Mettur and Dharamapuri.
