Address: Karaikal, Puducherry |
Unfortunately, I happened to travel in PRTC bus from Karaikal to Coimbatore on 13th April, 2015. The bus moved out of Karaikal bus stand. Few passengers boarded on the bus after some distance. The Conductor of the bus demanded them to purchase a ticket for their small kid. They replied that their child is below the age of three. The Conductor is not ready to believe it. An arguement taken place there. I was observing and replied to the conductor that while booking tickets in the booking counter, the counter staff are not ready to issue Half ticket. When we demand ticket for a child below the age of 12, the clerk issue the ticket with the age of 13 in order to collect full fare. It is very peculiar to see that a Government bus transport company violates the rights of a child. A Child has the right to get seat, when the ticket is purchased with full or half. They can not say that only half ticket is purchased. When I spoke with the conductor about this matter, he started using abusing language without any manners. The conductor (Senior with blue shirt) with angry informed me that I have to complaint this matter only to the booking clerk. He is also scolding the PRTC authorities and the counter staff that to without any respect. PRTC management should take steps to punish the drivers and conductors who use abusing language with the passengers. Few drivers and conductors are spoiling the image of the Corporation Was this information helpful? |
