Ticket touts

Ticket touts at the Puduraya bus terminal are fleecing unsuspecting travellers espe-cially those who turn up at night after the counters are closed and are desperate to travel the next day.

These touts who sell fake tickets conveniently begin their dirty work after most of the ticket counters on the first floor of the bus terminal are closed.

Hundreds of people have pro-bably fallen prey to these cheats but only a handful have attempted to make a police report at the terminal’s police beat base – which is, amazingly, located just across from the ticket counters.cite web |url=http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2007/11/19/central/19510515&sec=central|title=Ticket touts at Puduraya |accessdate=2008-05-02 |author=Elan Perumal |date=2007-11-19 |publisher="The Star" ]
