Transportion System in Chennai

I am seeing a lot of improvement in transportation system in Chennai.like A/C bus being introduced and the closed door buses which reduces footboard travelers, new ticket receipts in express buses but I don’t see any difference in this despite all these changes the big trouble makers are conductors. I would like share an instance happened with me… Yesterday at mid night 12.30 am I was waiting for an auto to arrive but none turned back long….. fortunately (may be unfortunately) I saw a bus coming and got into it I had to go to parrys the conductor was already tensed

The game starts now!!! I don’t know why but with a rude voice he asked “enga ponum” (where do u want to go?) I said parrys. Again with same tone 4.50 give me exact change or else get down. I gave him 10 rupees he said no change I argued I have given 10 rs not 100 he didn’t accept, then again i searched all the pockets and found a 50 paise thank god I gave him 50 paise but even then he said no change we started arguing he was rude and I also had to be else u can’t survive in Chennai.

I asked him to show his bag there were lots of 5rs coins in it. I said ok give me 5rs its ok I don’t need that 50 paise but he refused I said ok give me 5rs ticket n give me the 5 rs balance but he is saying if I give u the change wat will I give to others….. I thought come on its already 12.45 am u can only expect devils at this time in chennai. Then I said leave abt the people getting in the bus later first give the change to me then to others.
I don’t want to argue with him anymore coz its already 12.45am and I don’t want to mess up things I calmly said ok give me the change in the last stop if u have, else its fine in a soft tone (kabbi kabbi Chennai mein Gandhigiri be chaltha hai..) he gave me ticket n also the exact change.

I am not complaining abt the transportation system… this will happen when there is a human intervention…

I have been to Singapore for an onsite assignment and my stay there was for 5 months. The Traffic and Transportation system is one of the most I admire keeping aside Singaporean girlsJ. I have used e-money transaction in banks but something of similar sort was also used for transportation there. The ez-link card which is used for transportation is like a Debit card + access card. When you enter and exit the train stations and bus just tap… jakas all done no big queue.. no irritating conductors.. perfect maintenance of scheduled services… when will chennai become like this. I wish and hope our transportation system should change soon.
