Troublesome journey for private travels passengers

Nellore: Passengers of a private travel bus had a harrowing time on Friday with the driver simply stopping the vehicle at Tada as the bus has no permission to enter Chennai city. Komitla Bus Service began its journey in Visakhapatnam to Chennai on Thursday night. According to passengers, buses were changed due to repairs at Vijayawada and Nellore too.

When the bus had reached Tada on Friday morning, driver refused to move forward on the ground that they don’t have permit to enter Tamil Nadu. When the passengers confronted him, he said another bus was being arranged.

The hapless passengers had to wait on the roadside till afternoon for the alternative bus, but nothing turned up. Frustrated over their fate, the angry passengers reached Tada police station and requested the police for action against the management. As there was no prospect for any immediate relief, the passengers had to travel to Chennai on their own.
