APSRTC
E-ticket was on mobile was not accepted

I boarded a bus from Chennai to Anantapur without a ticket print, instead I had that in my mobile, which I reserved for much earlier. To my surprise, the conductor was not even keen to look at the ticket message in my mobile.

He was just reiterating that I need a printout of the ticket. I tried to explain him that what ever information the ticket carries was in my message.

I pity that in a technologically advancing country like ours' we are still hanging on to the stupid old paper proofs.

Then I went to APSRTC help center in Koyambedu Bus Terminus in Chennai to seek help. I requested them to provide me with a ticket, on showing my message. They laughed at me, telling that a ticket is needed, but not a mobile message.

When our government institutions are in such ignorant situation and turning a blind eye to the technology, WHY ARE WE BEING FORCED TO SEE AWARENESS ADS, PROGRAMS AND MAILS ON NATURE LIKE "SAVE PAPER, SAVE TREE, SAVE EARTH"!!!
