sriram

:D i am thinking of experimenting the night service sometime. will do as soon as i garner some fake bravery :P

and as far as photography goes, i am strictly off street photography. As a professional photographer, i have to focus on my core genre. and playing with different genres, messes up my work :(

2011-07-21T14:16:27.209+05:30

oh is it so?..reverse mess up of already messed up bus services :(..and yes, as some ppl have talked here, i had traveled in night services many times. You won't feel anything different except the cost and stinky, spooky feeling it provides :).
Wish you write more about Chennai with some photos. I think, you can do it since u r already interested in photography.

Sriram

Thanks..

and yes, a yr ago i used to see that a lot.. but recently govt. tried to switch sides which didnt work out and then tried to switch back to the former seat system. this resulted in total hotchpotch. hence the there-is-no-seat-discrimination now :)

Very well written with lot of smirks :)..btw, as far as I was there, I observed that ladies seats were for ladies only..I have seen ladies demanding their rights if they see any gents occupying ladies seats. So mostly ladies seats were left untouched by gents. It was not 10-20 years before..I was talking about 1 year before.

2011-07-09T15:24:54.203+05:30

That's why I don't take buses. And if you are tall people hold on to you for support. And it is impossible to breath.

There's a Night bus service?? Huh!

Though i have travelled differnt routes by bus, offlate the only bus i take is 29C, either the normal one or AC, whichever comes my way

and i well, enjoy the bus ride... talk to random strangers
observe others in the bus and outside
watch some ppl try to get smart
and watch others get beaten up :D

2011-05-31T22:23:13.339+05:30

Madame, Me being a stickler to typography and fonts, construed that 23C-Cross as 23C strikethrough. (you could pronounce it as 23C dash) :-) :-)

2011-05-31T16:46:49.880+05:30

@rammmmm

hahahaha :D

Oh i didnt find the conductor part abnormal.. the bus is so crowded I won't ask them to move across and cause more trouble.. the ticket passing is quite easy for me actually.. and also i find conductors walking across even in crowded buses sometimes. so really can't complain either ways.

Rammm - blog sariya padikaliyo? i mentioned 23C-Cross as it is uttered (where the cross (which is a slash) runs from top right of the number 23C to the bottom left corner i cudnt get the slash in blogger so used 23C with a cut... :D

He He He He. Good intro to Chennai buses. :-) I can imagine you typing the post with your eyes arched and with a smirk, at certain places in your post. :-)

You didn't seem to mention the lazy conductor and his reserved seat and the ticket passing routine that used to be the norm earlier. Aren't there "cross" bus routes there? E.g. 23C-Cross as it is uttered (where the cross (which is a slash) runs from top right of the number 23C to the bottom left corner?)
