Bus Travel to Tirupur

Last week I had been to Tirupur.  While going  itself, I had a problem.  When I went to book to a ticket to Kalasipalyam, some brokers approached me to sell a ticket through their office.  I settled for ABT Travels (for Rs.460/- a seat)  and bought a ticket through an agent for  09:30 PM bus. I went there at 09:00 PM and I was informed at 09:30 PM that  the bus has been cancelled they will accommodate me in the next bus at 10:30 PM with originally allotted seat.  Finally, the bus came at 11:00 PM and I was not given the promised seat  but   has to settle for a  uncomfortable seat near the entrance.  In the early morning around 04:45 PM somebody shouted in Tamil to get down  in a junction  where they will put me in another vehicle to go to Tirupur.  It was horrible.  I don’t know the language and nobody was helpful there. This new transport fellow dropped me somewhere outskirts and told me to fed my way to the hotel very rudely.  There I have to shell out another Rs.80/- for an auto (who don’t have meters).  While coming back, I  took help from my supplier and he booked a ticket at KPN Travels (at Rs.400/-!!!), pick-up very near to my hotel and safe dropping in Kalasipalyam, Bangalore.
