I don't want to put the nice bad words that I would give for the KPN. Sometimes I feel, is this travels is operated by some goons (they way the driver and cleaner behaves)? I frequently travel to PALANI. If one has to reach anywhere in between Coimbatore to Dindigul via Pollachi, Udumalpet, Palani and Oodanchatram, well they are all left out with only one choice KPN!! No direct train, no other direct service government service or private service.

Points that I would note:

Exactly in between 2 to 3 am the bus stops at Salem petrol pump to fuel the bus, at the same time some guys jump to the top of the bus to load and unload parcels. Sometimes I feel this service is for public or for parcel? Then on my sleep is lost, after that every 45 minutes or so the bus stops at several stations, and same loading and unloading routine happens.

Then goes and parks the bus in the side lane of Dindigul bus stand, which is the urinal lane. Even I'm sleeping, suddenly feel the catastrophic bad smell and jump out of the bus until it moves!

They lack the minimum common sense in operating a service. They have to understand that a parcel service cant be run from a 10X10 size rooms. Keeping all the parcels on the road blocking whole traffic. And the pity is how some ones valuable parcel is left on the road until its loaded in the bus.

They have no value for their customer, for their life (at the mercy of driver, several times watched the driver standing up and driving while overtaking when there are speeding vehicles opposite side) and for the customers properties!

These days I'm avoiding KPN as much as possible, by going by train.
