Bisleri Bliss, it is a premium water bottle i had bought for Rs 30/- in Khammam RTC Bus Station (Nov 4, 2024).
When I tried to buy a bottle of mineral water for me (either Rs. 20 or 25) at the Khammam RTC Bus Stand (in the main bus stand), i went to a shop nearer to me, and was looking for the bottle and I found this Bliss bottle, and when I enquired the cost of the bottle, it's cost is 30/- and after I realising its cost was more, I had gone to another shops for buying for a water bottle but there also I have seen this branded bottle water only. In fact, i have not heard of Bliss Water 💦 bottle in my memory. I live n Hyderabad for many years and I visit various stores but I have never come across such a brand (pls note that I know #Bisleri water bottle brand and I buy that water brand often) but not this #BisleriBliss water brand. I have checked for other brands (as it cost was 30/-) around in the same Bus Stand, and after I found that all the shops were buying this brand only....but as I had no choice 😭, I had to buy the same brand (costly because it has a bliss name on it, and it is a #premium one) and moved on... and after few hours later (as I was moving back to #Hyderabad from Khammam), I had tasted the Premium water that was of a bad taste (while I am not blaming the company - Bisleri on any quality or any standards front) but I realised the taste of the water in the bottle was not upto mark. Despite it being a premium (for a person like me and other middle class people buying water bottle for 30 instead of 15/20/25, was really a pain. As the taste of the water (not criticizing the quality of the water in the bottle) was bad.
What I have observed was that
It seems that the Shops in the #BusStand (Khammam bus stop) maintaining a #mafia kind of networks and selling the highest priced water bottle for normal travellers.
While I am not against these shops selling the water bottle of Rs. 30/- cost, but my point is why they are not selling the less priced #waterbottle. When I was inquiring about the less priced water bottle with different shop keepers, one shop keeper warned me that, here you would not get any bottle (other brands) other than this bottle. As I had not got any less priced #bottle, i had to go to that shop keeper to buy this Bliss water bottle, but after tasting the water, i realised, its taste was not good, so I kept it aside.
I am requesting the RTC MD @SajjanarVC sir,
why the shops in the RTC Bus Stands run by other than RTC staff ?
Why the #RTC will not introduce the RTC (Like the railways Rs. 15/- IRCTC water bottle) #IRCTC kind of water bottle which is lesser price. Had the RTC branded water bottles available for Rs.15/- each, i would have bought two bottles).. this is how the shop keepers (other than RTC) at the every Bus Stand in the state #loot us from #travellers.
When IRCTC got success with its 15 Rs water bottle, why RTC has not introduced such a kind of water bottle.
