Dear Goanetters I used to travel by kadamba bus whenever I used to go to Bangalore. The seats were equally very bad and sometimes did not move when I wanted it in a recline position. Once on my way to Goa suddenly the bus tyre got punctured. There was no spare typre and so the conductor went to get the tyre repaired and we had to sit in the dark and sing. The bus proceeded and then suddenly the driver found out that the suspension had given way and so they stopped the bus and tied the suspensors to a rope.Then I started to use the sleeper buses. Sea Bird VRL logistics were nice buses to look at. The other day that is on 3rd of May I along with my family and one month old grandson made a trip in sea bird from bangalore to Goa. Hardly the bus left Majestic then the tyre exploded .At the repair shop they found that the tube was completely out with its intestines into pieces.Then the problem of removing the spare tyre. I think the tyre was never removed for years and everything was jammed.The driver, the conductor and most of the male passengers tried to help the driver to remove the spare tyre which we did by breaking the tin part of the bus and the bus moved on. The next day just before we reached ankola we noticed smoke coming out from the rear tyres.The smoke was put off and we reached ankola to find that the brake linner of the bus was worn out and had to be replaced and so we had to sit at ankola restuarant for nearly one hour till the linner was replaced and then we reached panjim at four in the evening.Albert
