Which bus service do you think is the good one..

Before some years i had a thought that KSRTC is a nonsense service i
have seen many buses running only with only the conductor and driver
in it (yes i know its the minium requirement of a bus) and may be one
or two people .

(ooh english onnum sheriyavunnila malayalathilekku kadakkam)

athu mathramla KSRTC akey chalipidichu chapili chipilayayi oru look um
illatha vandiyannu

annu njane vicharichu Private bus a nallathe ennu

Pinneedu eeyideyayi rathriyilum mattu dhura yathrakal vannapolananu
enikku KSRTC yude mahathvam manasilayathe

ethu pathirathriyilum mattu jila kalilekku bus unde ... GREAT...

So i am writing the advantages and disadvantagesv of these two
services

Private Bus
Pros
- Great speed than slow KSRTC, Limited stop buses runs faster than
KSRTC Super Fast
- Runs in almost every area
- Bus will be clean without dust and good looking
- Concession card kittan elupamanu (for students)

Cons
- Thendikal alkare eranguthinu munbe double bell adichu vandi start
cheyum (chaadi erangandi verum), chilapol stop il nirthila. orupadu
dhooram kazhinjetey nirthu
- Long service anenkil aduthula sthalathekkulavare bus il
kayattila.avar students iney poley bus start cheyunna samayam vare
nilkanam


KSRTC
Pros
- A rootiley nirthuna ethu stopilekkum keyaram
- Bus stop il correct ayi nirthum, allukal erangi kazhinje bell
adikku, so eranganum keyaranu estampoley samayam unde
- driver mare maryatha reethiyeley odikukayullu

Cons
- Pattapoli bus ayirkkum
- potta color
- Eppolum nastathilanu..
- Getting concession card requeires lot of procedures


So what do yoou guys think ? which one is better ? post ur comments

As the title of this group is  nidhin"programing"@googlegroups.com why we are discussing about KSRTC.
Anyway we want to make this group active.
Let me come to the topic.
 
I have not much experience in KSRTC and its just because I living in EKM. Obviously here is KSRTC bus but not for travelling inside city.
I support the opinions of Nikhil.
 
But one thing. Its easy to get consession card for students but its not an easy thing to get into that. They dont like students and concession. And their behaviour is so harsh.
 
 
Whats the openion of others?

-> thats a relevant question ... when nidhin created this group he
named it nidhinprograming but i am think to use it as general whatever
the topic of the group is

also we do more than 8 hours of programming a day and i dont need the
same boring stuff

"I have not much experience in KSRTC and its just because I living in
EKM."

- if u want to travle to thrissur from EKM u will find train or KSRTC
is is only the way .. SO Vote for KSRTC in that case :-)


in between i am hoping others will reply on monday when they come back
to net after enjoying sunday

Be active guys .. give some time to talk and discuss

some people might be wondering why the receive such mail and from
there

that people click the below link

Also thomson do have any idea or can help to trasnfer this group to
something better ? i have a domain and webspace.

I hadn't get much more travel experiences with Private bus,but that
limited time I have a feeling that
KSRTC its the best...in the case of good behavioral attitude .

But I never complaint the private bus workers because they have their
own limitations for that
Private bus workers are giving much more importance to money,because
the daily
collection effects their life so deeply,in the case of KSRTC personals
there is no such case,thats why
they are free of mind and so casual to us.

I am not agreed with the opinion like KSRTC is best because ladies
need to enter in the back portion of the bus.Its very very
"kashtamanu". In kerala all roads are very very good(Not in gud
sense). So when people like us sitting at the back, i feel that
playing in sea..sooo game.

First of all, the author made the post very lengthy.But itz a big
subject having small small subdivisions in it.
I have a lot of experiences with both of these services
I will say some of my experiences with both the private and KSRTC bus
Both private nd KSRTC services has their own advantages nd
disadvantages. But personalIy felt some affections to KSRTC
eventhought I less travelled in KSRTC bus comparing to private bus.
Some of my finding by my experiences are mentioned below:

KSRTC Bus Service
------------------------------

1. Educated nd employed people prefer KSRTC more than private bus for
their daily travelling purposes.

2. Generally, there is no chance of greedy employees bcoz government
is giving salary to them.

3.Coductors r not so much interested in personal things of travellers
bcoz they dont need to get their personal love/affection

4. Students get more concession nd better travel facilities than
private bus

5. As every government matters, KSRTC is also having the same delay in
all its activities lyk repairing, issuing concession cards. We have to
fullfill a lot of formalities. We cant say wen the bus will break
down. And there is a deficiency for buses sometimes

6. Almost all KSRTC drivers r very careful in driving. They r very
experienced. Smooth driving nd all.they dont keep over enthusiasms. I
felt this thing wen i travelled continuously in KSRTC for a period of
approximately 5 months. But i ddnt felt it even after i travelled in
private bus from my 5 th standard. They r kind ofcourse.. but not all
of them... nd also not all the time..

7. Now i wanna say somthing in case of women reservation seats. KSRTC
conductors dont fear anybody. They will b always found in favour of
ladies.

Private Bus Service
----------------------------

1. Employed people prefer private bus only because
- They get the price of their tickets reduced sothat
they can make some profit monthly
- There is a large rush found in KSRTC purticularly in
the beginning of a week. There is also a crowd due to
the - unavailability of bus as needed

2. Bus employees are always greedy. They give importance to 5/10
rupees nd not to the humanity considerations. Of course... there is
exceptions..but very little.itz the fact

3. Private bus conductors are always trying to get the personal
affection of travellers so that they can make some permanent
travellers. nd they r always competing with employees nd travellers of
other buses for this purpose. They dont know wat they r doing.. poor
people.. I really feel pity for them

4. Behaviour towards ST students is very bad. But in this case they
know what they r doing. Some people says the actual problem is with
government that the rest of the 25% concession is not given to the bus
owners that the goverment is offered them. So private bus employees
think they r bearing the loss students.

5.There is not so much problems with the availability of bus bcoz
private bus owsers can make money only wen the bus is running. But I
faced a some of availability problems such as some buses r on
repairing phase upto a month with out giving an alternative bus. But
in this case the owner of the corresponding bus will hav a lot of bus.
Almost all cases are lyk that.

6. Some private bus drivers r celebrating by driving buses
competitively. Nd this casses so many accidents. Drivers r having less
experience.

7.Private bus conductors always fear men at night. They dont say a man
sitting in a woman's reserved seat eventhough she is travelling
without sitting whether it is day or night... but purticularly at
night..Even I will say eventhough am a woman. Private bus conductors
cowards... A lady is more more bold than them.I feel really really
pity for them..

Finally , I hav to say that I said all these generally nd ofcourse
there r exceptions

Any ways these r some thing that i understood from my experiences...
Wat u people say?

I think I need to say some points in the matter that Raseena said.
KSRTC is not saying that Ladies should sit in the Back portion. Only
thing is the reserved seats for ladies are put in the back portion. It
is also for the convenience of Ladies bcoz most of the buses has its
door on back. Another one is the problem of roads, I think that we can
make as another subject for discussion. Yes itz a problem that we have
less number of good roads. But.. suppose if the reservation seats r
changed to some where else from the back portion then men will also
say the same issue if itz supposed to b a common seat both for men nd
women. In this way, we may take it as a common problem for men nd
women. The problems with the roads is another issue that need to be
discussed as another single subject.

I noticed the thing that Thomson said

"As the title of this group is
nidhin"programing"@googlegroups.com<nidhinpr...@googlegroups.com>
why
we are discussing about KSRTC."

Actually we people have to think about it.There are so many chances
that we may need to face such questions any more. So I'm asking to
administrators that can u put any such meaningful names for our group.
It will b better for us to avoid such questions in future. Nd we can
discuss any type of matters without any constraints.

What the other members say? Whatz ur opinion?
