157 - vellore to kalpakkam

-
11.03.2014. night 11.00 pm...the bus came as it is the most reliable than 108 services.
Waited in old bus stand, chengalpattu.
Boarded the bus and bought the ticket by giving rs. 11. rs. 10 and 1 one rupee coin, to facilitate conductor to give change rs.2. he gave the change of my rs.1 to my next co-passenger who gave rs.10. when i saw the conductor for the change....he just checked all the coins and replied that he had all one rupee coins and no two rupee coins and asked me to wait.
In the next stop, the crowd filled the bus and my change rs.2 was gone.
By observing, to my knowledge, he said the word, that he will give change to atleast 4 persons belonging to my row and two of my front rows.
It is the peak of frustration.
How much it will take time to shout at him, or to man handle him?
You are returning home after work and he is also closing his duty. Where all the coins in his bag is going to go?
Or my thinking was wrong to help the conductor to give 2 rs change instead of searching for 1 rupee coin.

I record this, because, one or two persons like this painting a bad picture about the behavior of the conductor.
my ticket number is 558149 - 11/03/14 - 23:09:57
bus number is TN 21 - N - 1606

That too from kalpakkam depot, which earned good reputation in one period at past.
