Chennai: A month since the college continues the physical class, the train has not streamlined the system so students can get season tickets to travel by suburban trains.
At present, students say they have to buy tickets for each trip and as trains have not issued a return ticket, the long queue is seen in front of the counter at the station.
The Tiruvallur-Chennai route only handles nearly 300 students.

“The counter staff did not allow the update of season tickets that were not used during last year’s locking.
I have a three-month ticket but use it only for nine days.
They say there is no such command.
There is no room to get a new season ticket because they request a form from the college Height, “Rahul, a student who boarded the train from Egattur.
Colleges must get a form from the train, fill the details of students and routes and prove it.
Tickets with a 50% concession are issued only when students send this form at the counter.
With the physical class owned for only three days a week, some students are waiting for a daily class to continue to buy a season ticket.
Jawharlal Nehru, a professor at Hindu College, said College had not yet gained instructions from the train to collect forms for this ticket.
“College is also not in a position to issue a form.
The system must be simplified.
More than 80% of students are on the Tiruvallur-Chennai route using trains because road transportation is expensive and time consuming,” he said.
“The train must ensure that colleges issued a form for students.
The state government must ensure that there is affordable transportation available for students,” said Sadagopan, a consumer activist.
The official train said the validity of the season ticket was extended for days lost because of the locking in March 2020 and winter tickets were released at the counter.
