APSRTC DWARAKA BUSTATION, VISAKHAPATANAM
CHARGING OF HIGHER PRICES

I have visited APSTRC Bus station (main) at Visakhapatnam to send of my family on 17.8.2008 around 9.00 am.

I have purchased one drink bottle from the cool drinks shop situated in APSTRC BUS STATION which mrp prices is Rs 25.00 whereas the shop owner has charged Rs 1/- extra saying that it is extra charge in APSRTC Busstation. I have asked for the display of price list which the owner has refused to show. I have approached the station manager to confirm about the extra price charged. The station manager has confirmed that there are no extra charges. I found out that none of the business people are displaying the price list in front of their shops and on enquiry it is noticed that all the shops residing in the APSRTC Complex are charging extra amount.

I have been facing this problem whenever I visit the buststaion to see off my family members.

Daily thousands of commuters are travelling and the extra charges collected by the vendors unauthorisedly runs in thousand of rupees. It seems that most of the officials in the busstation know about these charges.

Because of this, neither the State Govt is benefited nor the consumer is benefited

Actually the venderos should sell their products less than the MRP price where as in the bus station they are selling at higher prices.

I request the authorites to look into the matter and see that all the vendors should DISPLAY THEIR PRICE LIST IN FRONT OF THE SHOP and help the Public at large

By doing this APSRTC moto of serving the public will be achieved

I once again request the higher officials (Station Manager)

look into the matter personally and see that the price lists are displayed in front of the each shops, immediately
