Yesterday (9th JAn), I was waiting at Ghatkopar Depot bus top to go to Hiranandani Powai. There are 3 buses from here (382, 524, 489)... but after waiting for 30 minutes (6:50 p.m to 7:20 p.m)... one 489 arrived and I boarded the bus..the bus then direcltly stopped at Shreyas and then at Vikroli Depot and at Vikroli station... and then at IIT market... and the when I was suppposed to get down at Hiranandani the bus did not stop there and it stoppped few meters away...
My question is... who has given the condcutor and the driver the right to skip stops???
Are we fools to keep on waiting at the stop and the buses not stopping... and the frequency is so bad...
And there are no inspectors at the bus stops...
And that too on this day there was auto strike so roads were empty... so no question of delays...
I am born and brought up in Mumbai and I would say that BEST services in some routes are deteriorating!!! It is really Sad.
My suggestions are as follows:-
1.The board "only 22 standees" should be removed... if there is crowd in the bus it is the discretion of the passengers whether or not to get in.
2. The buses ought to halt in all the stops... this needs to be ensured...
3. Frequency of the buses should be monitored... and in this case of the 3 buses (489, 524 and 382)... only one bus arrived that too after 30 minutes.
IF THIS IS THE CASE SLOWLY PEOPLE WOULD START AVOIDING BEST BUSES AND START USING AUTOS / TAXIS AND OTHER MEANS... AND THEN EVERYBODY WOULD START FORCING OTHER BUS SERVICES TO BE IN EFFECT IN MUMBAI!!!
