Redhills to Tambaram - Route no 114 A/c Volvo

The aircon volvo proved all detractors wrong. Most of the people scoffed at the idea of starting a volvo ac bus from Redhills. Redhills is a suburb in the northern fringe of the city. Apart from its location on the nh, it is also a major market for rice from british days. It is a meeting point for ambattur, tiruvallur, nellore and the eastern costal villages.

MTC started with four buses. The buses are full even during non peak hours. During peak hours, one can get  a seat if lucky. When the first four buses started, the conductors were polite and smiling. Now the ac buses have become full and overflowing. Conducors have become rude and have started doing crowd control!!! Yelling, snapping, goading has become part of life like in the normal non ac buses!

Like in the case of all other bus services, the timings of the ac buses from Redhills are kept as a secret by MTC. They challenge the traveller to find out or pray its their lucky day!! The patronage could be up by atleast 30% if the MTC were to atlest give "indicative" timings!!!!
