On 12th January unfortunately I had travelled through an APSRTC Bus from Chennai to Hindupur on a reserved ticket.
When the Conductor of the bus adviced the passengers to have tea at Bangalore Bus Stand, I too got down from the bus, leaving my luggage behind in the bus, including laptop, which was given to me by my company. I was literally behind the Driver and Conductor while taking the tea, but to drop the cup there in the dust bin, I went aside and on my return, to my surprise, there was no bus. I searched for the bus around the bus stand for half-an-hour. Finally, I came to a conclusion that the bus has left without picking me up.
Normally, the bus driver or the conductor shall always makes sure that all the passengers got boarded back into the bus, who are alighted for tea.
Immediately, I called my people in Hindupur and requested them to collect the luggage from the bus. Later, I had taken another bus to Hindupur, but the stupid Conductor of that bus instead of helping me or assuring safety for my luggage, insists on buying another ticket, though I was having ticket up to Hindupur.
When my people approached the staff of the first bus, they claim that they were waiting for me for half-an-hour somewhere outside the bus stand, instead of their waiting on the same spot for one minute maximum, they were just bluffing.
Thank God, I got my luggage including my laptop intact, at least. But, nobody knows how much tension I would have passed through over four to five hours of gap. I was much worried about the laptop, because it was official.
See, what type of irresponsible people that we do have in APSRTC?
Must say there is no such worst organisation in the world as worst as the great APSRTC. They must at least from Tamil Nadu RTC.
