Pay for a premium, but don’t expect anything here…
There is so much money can buy. But in Chennai, not a decent public transport. The so called “deluxe bus” was launched with so much fanfare that for a second, I thought Chennai has grown up. But not for long. Please see the pictures below. This is what you get for paying more for those duplex buses that ply around the city. Well, people make a better society no doubt, but definitely infrastructure has to be better for people to realize that it is worth the effort to make thing better. This seems to lack in Chennai – even at a time India and China are supposed to bring the world out of recession.

A very good post Lakshman! It's a pity that these so called Deluxe buses offer anything apart from comfort to passengers. The worst thing is that most of the times these buses travel like normal MTC buses by not closing their doors and filling passengers to the maximum. The worst part is that they do not even travel fast even when the road is empty. Note: This goes especially for the so-called Luxury buses 18A, 18B, A18 etc.
