I know I am diverting from my topic of giving only technology content in this blog but I really need a space to express my anger and need a solution to this.

Small suggestion to all those people who travel by bus frequently for outstations. then read this blog. Yesterday due to heavy festive season rush I got a private bus ticket(OMER travels) before a month. My travel starts like this: I was taken to afzal gunj(charminar area) in a van, pushed me in a small compact room, above all it was raining. I waited there from 9-11:30 for my bus to arrive, few ppl got furious, there was a fight n every person in that room was pushed outside the room. Everyone got drenched, there was no conclusion for the fight at all. I paid Rs 1550/- for the ticket to travel which is a double the cost of the whole journey. There were people who paid more than 2K for the same travel. 2 buses arrived after a long wait which didn't even seem like a volvo. I went and sat in my seat, I saw a guy in my next seat. I just asked him, Sir this is ladies seat. He said this fellow gave me the ticket an hour back.When I went down of the bus to ask him about my seat, I could see he had lot of ppl shouting at him as he sold one seat to 2 ppl. I went and asked him that my next seat is not given to ladies. His answer was so wat? I really want to thank the guy next to me for his co-operation and sensibility he asked few ladies to exchange with his seat. They didn't give blankets, bus was freezing.Topping to all, bus stopped in the middle of a forest. A guy comes shouting sab log utaro, Yeah bus abhi mumbai jayegi. For a while I thought bus got hijacked... :) But the guy said u need to go n sit in the other bus. All of the passengers started a fight with the driver and his answer was , Ur luggage is already kept in other bus, How early you go n sit there v ll start early. There was no way out so we started moving to other bus. I saw few people were coming from other bus and moving to our old bus. I asked one girl where r u going/destination. She said she need to go to Hyderabad. Then it clicked me that these people hired a bus from repective location, exchanged the passengers from the buses and brought back to where they started. I just felt some person feels he is too intelligent, and I want to teach that intelligent jerk who played with 120 people in the whole journey. Please suggest what can I do. I took the ticket from my fellow passenger, thinking i could do sumthin
since we cannot sue the travels and waste our time and money, i would have kept the ticket as the most memorable journey of my life...
ReplyDeleteomer travels is always like this.
ReplyDeleteOnce when i was on board, from bangalore to hyderabad, we had similar experience, the bus condition is pathetic and it stopped near anantapur. We paid around 1500 for the tickets.
So some people got furious and broke the windshiled and LCD of the Volvo bus. I dont justify what they did, but collateral damage is good enough sometimes
lolz jyotsna. I hope this will be one of your memorable experience which you can share always with your friends ;)
ReplyDeleteYou can sue this guy in different way but for that you need to sue many more days and nights which is not worth. So just forget it.
