Billyground, May 28: If you are visiting North and Middle Andaman, do not miss the chance to travel in Nimbudera Express Bus of State Transport Service. It seems that to promote Monsoon Tourism, the Transport Department has added new amusing service inside Nimbudera Express Bus, where one can enjoy Monsoon Showers, sitting right inside the Express Bus. According to public inside the said Express Bus, when it rains outside, it pours inside.
For department of Transport, operating Nibudera Express may be a fun but for general public travelling in Nibudera Express during rainy days is nothing but a terrible punishment.
Photographs available with Andaman Sheekha show that how difficult it is for general public to travel in the said Express Bus.
“When it rains outside, we need to open our umbrellas inside the bus or we would definitely get wet. Those who don’t have umbrella or raincoat have no other option than getting wet. The buses of STS are so old that even closing the window panels do not help,” said a passenger of Nibudera Express.
It is learnt that several times in past, PRI members of the area have demanded new Express Buses in Nibudera Route but for unknown reasons new buses are never sent in the said route.
Situation inside the Nibudera Express perhaps present the actual picture of entire Andaman and Nicobar Administration, where no one really cares for general public.
