Route, fare details missing in Kovai buses
New Indian ExpressCOIMBATORE: Passengers travelling in both government and private town buses in Coimbatore alleged that most buses operate without essential information such as route maps, ticket fares, and designated stops. Misusing this, conductors of some private buses that are operating in the city routes are charging additional extra from passengers who may be unaware of the ticket fare. K Parthiban, a passenger who took a private bus from the railway station to Gandhipuram last week, told TNIE that when he asked for a ticket, the conductor gave him a Rs 10 ticket when the actual ticket price was just Rs 5. All this is because the bus route map, stage details, ticket fare, and complaint numbers are not displayed in the bus.” C Sivakumar, another passenger told TNIE, “A private bus that operated from Perur to Sitra, did not have many seats.
