I regularly commute from Bharat Nagar (BKC) to Bandra Railway Station. It is a regular feature to note that Buses plying on that route in the evening after office hours i.e. after 5 pm (Bus No 310) even if there is sufficient space to accomodate a few commuters, the conductor rings the bell and the bus will go and stop a few meters ahead, or if they do stop they will not allow the bus to fill to capacity. It indicates a lazy attitude on the part of the conductors who do not want to issue more tickets or inconvenience themselves. I'll specifically quote the case of Bus No MH01-L 8169 which went past Bharat Nagar Bus stop on 19.06.2008 at 5.35 pm without stopping though there were just about 8 standees in the bus and 50 commuters waiting at the bustop. This indicates a very inhuman approach on the part of the conductors.
