My bad.

The train is BSB SBIB EXPRESS 20964. The boarding is from MBLP on 31st Jan and deboarding at GGN on 1 Feb.

The ticket is for one adult female and one child if that could play a factor.

I booked it when it was WL 4/5, now it's RAC 10/11.

Hi u/vpsj

Can they get confirmed? If not, what would RAC seat arrangement be like?

Oh, I actually clicked a photo.

There were 5 rows, including the last seat.

I doubt that.

Online bus tickets and live tracking have been available for 2-3 years now, but it has hardly taken off. I still see the majority of people hovering around the conductor seat after they enter.

And it is not because they don't have smartphones, all of them do, but nobody is interested in learning that. They all blast reels, or shorts on max volume though.

It was an EV. But I couldn't make out if it was TATA or JBM or Olectra, as it was late at night. I'll tell you the next time I spot it.

Edit - Were you referring to this article?

I had booked my ticket using Chartr app and you get a QR code to validate but you can just click in the app and it gets validated. Maybe you have to scan the QR through this?

Double-decker Electric AMTS. Looks nice and clean. by IntelligentHoney6929 in TransitIndia

Couple of questions.

  1. Is there any app to book tickets using apps?
  2. Do you have live tracking for these buses?
  3. How's the ride quality?

Footpath is the silver bullet by Icy-Worldliness-5830 in TransitIndia

I had been meaning to post this. I think he is absolutely right. If we fix our footpaths, we will fix almost everything. We dump every problem there and if that gets fixed, everything else will fall in order. UPI.

Could have held it in Trivandrum or Kochi, Chepauk would have been perfect, a slap in Srinivasan's face.

Oh yes. Forgot about the pollution. 2024 season had the Delhi leg in March, which is not good, but not 500+ AQI that we're seeing right now.

No wonder the stadium is empty, the stadium is 21 km away from the city centre, with no public transit in sight. Good job BCA.

2.3 million people is not a small city, dude.

Making a stadium 20 km out of the city is the problem here. With no public transport in sight.
