Situated in the north of the island, Triolet is one of the biggest village in Mauritius, but certainly the longest of all. Populated with over thousands of people from all religious beliefs, the MY village, lacks nothing but a good bus service! we will come to that a little bit later….
Among the existing infrastructures we have for instance:
- excellent roads, with over 5 humps(speed breakers) lol !
- a large market place, XXL size,
- Police Station, Fire Station, Postal Service, Health Care Center
- 3 main primary schools, several colleges, lots of pre-primary schools,
- a branch of practically all banks of Mauritius and
- perhaps hundred of bus stops, with thousands of unsatisfied bus users!
One particularity of Triolet is that it can be said to have no “business center” since everything is scattered all long the main road, divided into different regions, among which we have the famous 3 (7eme mille, 8eme mille & 9eme mille), 3-Boutiques, Cinema Anand, Cinema Cassée, Derningham, Solitude, Terminus & etc…
Thats for a brief intro about the village and
what if we discuss about the bus service?
 |
Triolet Bus Service has the exclusivity to be the only 1 bus company to “serve” over the village and the neighboring villages : Trou aux Biches, Grand Baie, Cap Malheureux, Pointe aux Piments, St Antoine, Arsenal, Riviere du rempart, Fond du sac (added to the request of Neha & Deepa, telling me wat to write here) & etc… without forgetting Pointe aux Sables & La Tour Koeing. |
Unfortunately, when it comes to wait the bus early in the morning, then its better to “prend ene la bougie rouge”.
During school days, at times, you can wait upto 30-45 mins to get a bus in which u can find a STANDING PLACE!
Be it a school day or a holiday, there is the same number of buses on the roads + perhaps a few buses dedicated to colleges. However when its your turn to enter a normal bus, 3/4 of the passengers are students!
For instance, several times i had to wait on the bus stop from 0705 to 0745 before getting a bus to go to work.
If one day you have to go to the capital during the peak time ( 07:15-08:00), i would advise you either set out much earlier or much later!
I am sure, there must be someone who is directly related to the management of Triolet Bus Service (TBS) reading this, so this is for you!

Another thing….again on the buses from TBS…
Notice the arrows (^ above ^) pointing to the bells (sonnettes).
In most of the buses of TBS, they are situated nearly at the roof of the bus, and now imagine the following scene:
A small girl (like Neha, height : 1m50) stopping at the next bus stop and trying to “peze sonnette”. Poor girl, her hands will never reach the bell, and she will have to ask the help of an adult(long enough) each time she travels in such buses to and from school!!!
This problem does not only concerns Neha, but hundreds/thousands of children, students and elderly people travelling by bus!
Kot lizier bane f**** la ti eter kant zotte ti place sa sonnettes la sa hauteur la?

This post reflets the reality of loads of inhabitants of Triolet and those from the neighbouring villages, served by TBS!!!

Am a usual passenger of TBS. Every morning i use to take bus20A along Shrimati Indira Gandhi rd to POrt Louis @ 0715hrs but the horrible thing that i face everyday is that all the buses are full of school children no arrangement is made by the company to provide extra bus for other passengers they dont even take these people on standing this is the main reason to taxi maron The TBS company knows that he is the sole public service vehicle on this line that is why he does not care of his passenger whether they are getting late or not he needs only money

Hey TBS pa sa mauvais la quand meme!!!!
N.B TBS is according to me the sole pvt company that renews its bus fleet each year.
Peut etre zot pa remarke mais li pna aucun bus plus vieux ki 2004/2005(up to AP11). a l’exception de 6 bus(JU99)qui eux aussi sont en parfaite etat de marche.Quoique si nu guette ban compagnie tels que CNT, RHT meme UBS zot encore possede ban bus ki dan 1 l’etat pitoyable.
Mo l’experience personnel dan sa ban lezot bus la permet moi dir sa ki la plus part des fois quand to voyage dan 1 bus CNT par example li fortement recommande fer 1 remorker suive li vu ki probabilite pu sa bus la tombe en panne li bien fort.
Mo ban camarads in meme dir moi pu to voyage dan UBS li conseille to pren 1 extincteur, 1 air freshner et pren maximum passagers ki capav car n’importe kan li kpv arrive ki pu bizin pousse bus la parceki li pa p cpv accelerer lor la monter.
Si jamais kiken in dja ale 1 excursion dan 1 bus TBS line bizin definitivement remarke ki sur l’autoroute pailles kot chemin la fer la montee bus TBS fer sa parcours la bcoup plus facilement ki tou lezot bus ki p ress retrograder mem avec zot loder fort dpi dans moter la ek gro lafume noir la.
Parlant encore de UBS ceux qui p penser ki C meilleur service transport avec comfort!!!! Ben detrompe zot dudes. kan to voyage ladann, mem dan so pli nouvo bus to eardrums cpv endomager avec so ban second hand drum brakes la. kan li pez frein sa tapaz ki ena la sa!!! indescriptible…. Avek so ban amortisseurs kumen dir ressort lili!! To res en oscillation constant tou long la route la. En plus kan li fini fer trajet P-Louis a Cpe nek deboute devan bus la to observer…to pu trouve sa kantite lafumer p sorti dpi dan so moter la!!!!! mo res bet kumen li reussi fer trajet Plouis-Mahebourg and BACK!!!!!!
en ce qui concerne problem sonette! mo penser line dja fini regler aster. et c pa la faute compagnie la mais celle du manufacturier body bus la.!!!!
toutefois mo d’accord ki ena 1 magouille dan horaires bus mais mo esperer sa situation la remedier!
De meme ban usager ki trouve sa service la dan bez ti pu trouve TBS meilleur si li aret offert so service et ban transport individuel ou meme ban lezot compagnie desservi sa la ligne la avek zot ban bus ki sorte dan simetiere la et kan bis ti pu bez enpanne au millieu laroute. Kan to pass ladan ki to realiser.
Mo penser ceux ki p coz vandalisme dan sa ban bus pa p realiser ki c’est le meme kas dans tou lezot bus ailleurs. Le hic C ke zot pa voyage souvent dan sa ban lezot bus la donc li dificile pu koner kisanla so chauffeur et receveur plis dan bez. Si ou ti lire la gazette 1P camarade, ou ti pou trouver ki ban kas similaires fine rapporter majoritairement dan ban lezot bus non pa dan Tbs!!! De meme jamais ou trouve TBS a la une des actualites comme lezot dan ban cas accidents graves. Mem incident li pa arriver souvent avk TBS comparativement ek ban lezot bus. N’empeche de ces jours sa ban problemes la p regler avk installation cameras de surveillances dans tou nouvo bus TBS!!
Et ceux ki p trouve triolet et triolesiens comme ban n’importe mo dir zot ale get zot mem dan mirroir zot pu gne message la! Kifr 1 dimoune ki res dan laville li aussi fier sa res toujour 1 mystere pu moi!!! mo pa trouve zot superiorite kan zot res dan laville. Cpv zot penC ki kan to dan laville to pa dan Maurice!!! Ouver lizie ban camarads attention tap ar colonne!!!
