It is said that there is no need to stand in line to book tickets in advance, you can get tickets easily, but when you go directly to the counter, there is no seat, you have to sit in the mudha, etc.
About 80 percent of about 2 million travelers who go out of Kathmandu Valley and surrounding districts are not happy without using public transport. Using this opportunity, the business of transport businessmen to make passengers suffer as much as possible and make them suffer under many pretexts, charging exorbitant fares and running on money is an old business.
Focusing on this topic, the editorial entitled 'Dasainka 20 lakh passengers, confusion due to non-opening of advance tickets' published in Kantipur was accurate. Now when the new government has been formed, there is no place to complain about the government. In such a situation, the transport business should take care of the passengers and make arrangements to take them to their destination easily.
The government has established passenger help desks at 14 locations, which should be implemented by the concerned transport businessmen, so that passengers are not cheated as much as possible. But the implementation aspect is very interesting. It has become a habit to bring trouble and suffering to the passengers by selling cheap tickets, carrying more passengers than the capacity of the seats, and selling double tickets.
Before Dasain, a meeting is held between the government side and the transport business organization. In that meeting, an agreement was reached between the government and the transport industry to reach the destination as easily as possible, keeping in mind the needs of the passengers. But the businessmen are not positive towards facilitating the passengers with the existing fare.
It is said that you don't need to queue to book tickets in advance, you can get tickets easily, but when you go directly to the counter, there is no seat, you have to sit in the mudha, etc. At this time, when the route permit is open, they have to endure the torture of driving vehicles of any condition, having two drivers for long distances, but never enforcing them, carrying passengers like sheep, and leaving them in the middle of the road.
At other times, it is fate to be forced to endure many such sorrows, sufferings and double ticket fee expenses. However, if you have to travel for the national festival Dasain-Tihar, you should at least have improved road conditions, vehicles in good condition, arrangement of two drivers in buses with a distance of more than 200 kilometers, good behavior of co-drivers, once you get the ticket, you can be sure of the travel date, destination and reach easily without hassle and stress! But on the contrary, the worry and stress of passengers not being allowed to travel even if the transport system is not in operation, when will there be a system in which the rights and duties of the passengers will be followed by removing the system that does not allow travelers to be cheated and mistreated even if it is in operation? -Gangaraj Aryal, Panini-8, Arghakhanchi
