But the guy next to him says i kept my hankie and my friend is sitting. The other guy retorted and told "Keep your hankie on Taj Mahal. It would be reserved for you." :)yogeshwarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424701784167701733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33279476.post-47486128788707503162008-09-23T10:18:00.000-07:002008-09-23T10:18:00.000-07:00@ Des - Oh! good! you dont need to type the sad em...@ Des - Oh! good! you dont need to type the sad emoticon along with 1994, everybody gets old everyday!<BR/><BR/>Also, I prefer anything, i travel more in bus coz thats really an awesome experience to meet people with different mindsets...

I dunno about Chennai so I can't comment on that. <BR/><BR/>Its not that I'm desperate on getting a seat. Its that I want them to understand that there isnt any reservation system right here, so that they wont try doing that later. [Hope so]<BR/><BR/>Gokarna to Kumta isnt that long. Reservations is not necessary. Its not a metropolitan or a cosmopolitan city. That can be adjusted coz there wouldnt be any traffic and you dont need to wait more than half an hour to reach your destination.<BR/><BR/>There is reservation in KSRTC, you can always book seats in KSRTC and there is no one to deny your seat like I do in BMTC, If you lend your seat, its purely based on courtesy [female or an elderly passenger]. If it is someone else, you can ask them to stand as you've reserved through KSRTC.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680403892036913002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33279476.post-47850363972024703252008-09-16T18:31:00.000-07:002008-09-16T18:31:00.000-07:00I think that for short trips, people shouldn't be ...I think that for short trips, people shouldn't be allowed to reserve seats - on intra-city trips that is. However, my experience in Chennai has been that no one has tried reserving seats. In any case, I'm used to standing, and don't really argue for a seat. If there's one easily available, I'll take it, but otherwise, whatever, not a big deal.<BR/><BR/>I was in Gokarna last month, and when I got off the bus at Kumta I found that people were dropping their bags into the bus through the window to reserve seats - I didn't particularly like it, seemed like a cheap thing to do. But then again, it's a long ride to the next stop, so it's not as unjustified.<BR/><BR/>That brings me to my next point - on inter-city buses (like the KSRTC ones), reserving seats is not so bad. My friend and I were taking the bus back from Kumta to Mangalore, and it's a 6 hour ride. Before the bus started from Kumta, I had her hold on to one additional seat for me so that I could visit the toilet. Had she not done that, I would have had to stand for at least a few hours, which isn't too pleasant. So, correctly or not, I justified that reservation of seats.Navaneethan Santhanamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123247487566198988noreply@blogger.com
