Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation [TNSTC] Complaints & Reviews

I have travelled in TN 01 AN 0400 on 23-10-14 from Bangalore to Coimbatore. Conductor alotted Seat no 40 for me, which was located at the last. I tried to use the Push back in my seat, though i paid a sum of Rs 375/-, but i realized the seat was at the corner.And also i cant be able to lift my legs either Up or Down as the person seated before me have just pushed his seat back. The space was too stingy to sit. It was a bad experience for me for that 8 hrs till i reach Coimbatore. So please remove one seat on either side of the and make a good partition for a happiest travel.This is my kind request.

I have reserved the SETC bus to travel by 07:45am from Madurai to tirunelveli and i'm was waiting with my Wife from 07AM onwards at service pick up point station. The Bus ID is 1314 and i was waiting till 8:15 am. Then i went to the Enquiry department and asked for the bus details. I was informed to go to the Platform 1 where the SETC booking office is available, I went and gave the ticket and the information but the surprise part is I was informed that the BUS IS NOT AVAILABLE SINCE IT IS NOT UNDER THE RECORD” it is really shocking and amazing, I laughed and asked the worker that i have BUS ID, Transaction was made, ticket was booked, PNR number is available but simply he said BUS IS NOT AVAILABLE. I asked his name but the Person said he cannot tell his name because he might get in to trouble and he is begging me no to ask the name. I tried to take a photo of him but he refused. Then i came to the last platform where the Tirunelveli buses will arrive and asked the counter people he then with the kind hearted went to another Tirunelveli bus conductor and asked him to take us since the bus dint come. That bus conductor said he need signature from the Authority so that me and my wife can travel in that bus using this ticket. Again i went to Platform 1 and explained the same to the booking person in the counter and refused to sign in that ticket. Then i came to the Last platform and explained the same to the Officer, he then laughed after hearing all this and requested me to take another ticket and to travel in different bus. Since i was going for my Thala diwali celebration to Tirunelveli i took tickets finally and boarded another bus. I have ran two times from platform 1 to last without any positive answer and wasted nearly 1 hour by making my wife sitting alone in the bus stand which i felt pathetic. Let me ask one thing, if this happened to any one who is a relative to MP or MLA or COUNCILOR or to HIGH LEVEL PERSON will the same response be provided. I got really pissed off and frustrated and i called all the Customer care no and SETC Service no to complaint on this but they gave lot of different different no to check with. No one is ready to give proper answer instead they tried to avoid me and to redirect to wrong person. I tried more than 1 hour and got tired of calling them. I need to get a proper response for this and i need a refund of my money.I have lost my reservation amount Rs.296, running all the way through platform 1 to last, time waste, energy waste. This is one of the very bad services in SETC corporation.

Dear Sir, TNSTC bus driver had hit our car at villupuram toll gate while we were waiting in the toll booth queue. Bus No. TN-58 N-2091 had hit our car at the driver side and left the place without helping us to lodge a complaint. Please take immediate action against them for behaving irresponsibly and driving the bus very rashly. Driver and conductor needs to be given proper punishment so that they should not do this again. Even the toll booth representatives were not helping us and no policemen nearby to lodge a complaint. I hope one day our constitution and law would be more friendly to common man and taking such issues seriously. thanks, Senthil [protected]

As I wish to inform that, I am visually handicapped, when I want to travel CMBT to velloe, there is no bus availabk in counter No:17 vellore. There is Hosur bus available I said I am handicappd the senior officer in counter instructed the conductor to issue hosur ticket and drop them in vellore. My husband is along with me as escort. they issued one housur and ticket No199507 Rs.46 . and 35 i.At kummanan chavadi the conductor allowed vellore tickets but not in CMBT. I wonder the officer at CMBT instruction is not followed by the conductor, being visually handicapped I was not charged with Hosur ticket instead of Vellore and Bagdur tickes being the respect to marruthirnalligal is cheated, , by the department before Deepavali Many transport officials are there induty. No proper buses available. Kindly take proper action against the officials even in CMBT. I will seek the help of Consumer forum for this if proper action is not taken at your end. Yours sincerely E Shanthi. ur ur

I have travelled a bus yesterday 5th oct 2014, which Route no -198. and Bus ID No. E-2389 The scheduled departure for the bus is 17:16hrs. But the bus has been started 18.00hrs. The seat which I booked is 28 and no permanent seat arrangement. Temporarily some thing made and push back lever itself not attached. Also all the seats back side no cover up and hanging inner parts....

This is reference to the PNR no - T8572198 Date of Journey 5 Oct 2014 From Chennai to Bangalore. The condition of the bus is really pathetic and worst. The Push back seat mechanism is very loose and it goes backward. Additionally the hand rest in the seats were broken. Tamil nadu transport should take some steps to check the condition of the bus and make necessary changes so that every passenger will have a peaceful and smooth journey. They have collected a total fare of 918 Rs. for two passengers but in return the service which we got from SETC is very poor. pathetic and troublesome journey.

I travelled from Tirupati Bus Stand to Nagari in the bus bearing bus No : TN 32 N 2001 which is travelling to Chennai(Coimbade Bus Stand) from Tirupati. The bus started at the time of 8:00 pm - 8:15 PM from Tirupati. While i was getting out of the bus in the Nagari, i forgot to get back my bag from the bus. So, I request you to trace my bag in the bus (Bus No TN 32 N 2001) and please letme know i will collect it. My Bag Color is Black With Gray. Thanks & Regards, N Prakash, +91 [protected].

Ticket Number: 00063666 JPT2 S0700341 Bus Number: TN30 N 1217 Journey: Salem to Bangalore Timing: started from Salem at 14:35 Date:[protected] Ticket Rate: 180 * 2 = 360 The bus people said that the bus is a Highway Rider - Flyover Service at the time of boarding, the same is written in front of the bus but they failed to travel in the flyover near Hosur and instead they went to Hosur bus stand and permitted other people inside the bus. I am cheated by their claims and even paid extra amount for the ticket (more than the fair of normal bus) .. When I asked the bus conductor, he said it's the usual thing. Authorities kindly look into this issue and take appropriate actions.

Sir i have booked a ticket in reservation counter Mannargudi, Thiruvarur DT today and I have request them to book seat number 3&4 but they are refused to book that seat numbers even though it is available. They said our higher officials instructed us it will be allotted to Disabled only. Is there any circular sent regarding this? I believe, conductors and the employees are joint together and do not book front seats till travelling date...

I was travelling from madurai to chennai. The bus is in worst condition the seats are not good they are broken and we couldn't travel properly. This is happening often. Bus number is TN 67 N0428. the window rods are rusty and it's dangerous near our eyes!! We need safety for us during travel and this should be taken under action and should be rectified!!

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to convey the Incident happened yesterday morning at TNSTC - Bus, to the notice of Concerned Higher Official.I am working in a private concern at chidambaram.I used to travel to chidambaram via Nagappattinam once in a week.Yesterday morning I travelled in a TNSTC - Bus(TN.68.N0307) from Ngapattinam to Chidambaram. The.The bus was taken sharply at 7.35.am. and reached Karaikkal at 8.45.am.They have taken 1 hr 15min to travel just 20km. I.I have asked the Conductor and Driver about this delay, and also asked them to refund my balance amount and decided to Quit my travel at Karaikkal itself, because usually other buses take only half an hour to cross this distance(20kms).Also they have displayed that the bus was Express and Charged Rs.50 as bus fare.I again asked about the delay and they have insulted me in front of all other passengers and also said that "Government buses will be going like this and No one can raise question against a Government employee, compliant to any Higher official if you can, we never bother about it" I just complained to the Tnstc Reporting officer at karaikkal, he too replied the same. I can't digest one thing, even-though they are not accepting their mistake, but insulting the common man, who point out their mistake.So I kindly request the higher official to take necessary action on them.I don't know their name, that's why I have mentioned the registration number of the bus and time.I also attached the scanned copy the ticket along with this mail. Due to their Lethargy I lost my One day salary due to lack of attendance on time.Kindly do the needful. With Regards, Mohammed Salimmalik S (A Common Man)

Dear sir,
In Chennai "SLF" bus service doesn't static based on it's Name board.like that WHITE board low FARE 4RS, in Green board low fare 6Rs.Blue(Deluxe), LED name board same as Madurai 7& 9Rs. so y this partiality consider by Tamilnadu Government have In high fare collect in madurai.consider as a request to reduce the ticket fare in MADURAI same as CHENNAI, Because Madurai is poverty level is high compare to Chennai.Chennai money sharing or Turnover is huge.so consider as request to reduce City Bus fare to Madurai people.
