Respected Sir,
I travel regularly from Vashi to L&T bus stop and would like to report a recent incident and also bring to the notice of the concerned authorities, certain facts and practices of the BEST bus personnel of Bus No. 523 and 522.
On May 11, a BEST bus with the following details:
Bus route no.: 523
Timing: around 4.45 pm
Bus vehicle no.: MH 01 LA 6240
Bus stop: Larsen and Toubro, Powai
The bus mentioned above had ample space (hardly 4 -5 standing passengers only; otherwise the buses are always more crowded, at any time of the day) to accomodate the 5 - 6 passangers who intended to board the bus. I deliberately waved to the bus driver suggesting that we were willing to board the bus. But the bus driver was only curtious enough to slow down the bus; and not stop it. Only after a short run behind the bus, I was able to board the bus with another one person. Another elderly lady standing on the bus stop with me also attempted the feat, but was unsuccessful. The most remarking part of the entire incident was that the bus stopped at all the bus stops after the L&T bus stop; even the Hiranandani bus stop, which was empty the that day.
This is just one incident that I am reporting after having discovered this site. This phenomenon of not halting at the bus stop is a rampant behaviour at the L&T bus stop and especially for buses arriving after 5.20pm; when the L&T employees are on the bus stop for availing the BEST bus services.
The buses are already crowded when they reach the bus stop, but there is space for accomodating a few more passengers.
Kindly help us with this problem so that travelling home is not like fighting a war.
Thanks and regards,
Prajakta
