Buses are better on rainy days as all roads are flooded with dirty water. Moreover we don't get drenched with the other passing vehicles splashing dirty water on our office wear.
Deluxe service tickets are priced higher so the buses are not crowded and the seats are comfortable too.
Was disappointed to notice so much trash obviously lying uncleared since many days (highlighted in red under the seaters in front) even though it was 10.15am. I thought buses are swept clean at the bus depot itself before starting on the first trip of the day.
Another bus I traveled was so over-crowded with young boys hanging on the window railings with one foot on the foot board at the entrance and another left dangling freely. These boys perform all kinds of stunts in running buses to impress the ladies and girls who have a view as the ladies' seats are allocated the left side in all buses! Some have had falls quite serious and at times fatal. When will they learn that their lives are precious to their parents and not at all worth these silly antics to impress all and sundry on the heavily traffic ridden bumpy Chennai roads.
May they get enlightened enough not to risk their dear lives for any reason or person.
Mahalakshmi.
