Bus-kkul Mazhai

On a Rainy Friday Evening, I was traveling in a Chennai MTC bus - 19B from Thoraipakkam to Saidapet. That bus was one of the supposedly called deluxe buses. They have nice seats with lot of space between 2 seats. Dunno, if it for good or bad. The bus has good lighting with big windows and with nice window panes. Good holders on the railings at the top of the bus for the short people to hold on to. The bus will be really good on those sunny days giving air/breeze (though not fresh) ...

It started raining heavily when we reached near Tidel Park. It was raining, not just outside, but inside the bus also. In the last two rows of the bus it was pouring a lot. They were holding a umbrella inside the bus. It is a brand new deluxe bus, but look at the conditions. The glass pane at the top of the window was loose and had moved down, making way for the rain to enter the bus. They charge us with double the bus charges, but I guess they dont spend a single paisa for maintaining the bus conditions.
