Rude Drivers

Last Sunday (26th May) my brother and myself boarded a bus (Bus No 317) near KR Puram at around 2'O Clock. Since ISRO exams were conducted at Garden City College that day Many people boarded the bus. So the bus was terribly crowded. Still the driver wanted to get in as many people as possible. He was shouting at the passengers very badly to adjust and go in as much as possible. He even pointed out some girls and started scolding them in Hindi. Many were students and from out of stations and we can clearly see their dissatisfaction in their face. Later on the way he was about to hit an auto on his right and was fighting with the auto driver. Somehow the passenger from auto rickshaw convinced them and they started to move apart. After some time he was fighting with the same auto driver again. Since i cant follow Kannada i dint know the reason why he fought again. But from the co-passengers sitting in the nest seat i came to know that the bus driver was shouting at auto driver saying that "Every one in the road takes such turns and hits the other person at times. None of the drivers follows the rules. Why should i? Do what u can do.". I was really shocked by these words. We people travel in bus thinking that the drivers will drive safely. But if this is the mind set of the drivers then how can we travel in bus? Later When the bus reached ulsoor market the conductor shouted the stop name, we were sitting in the first seat and got up immediately. Since we are new to the place we were not aware of the bus stop. but as soon as the conductor announced the stop we dint delay much as we were sitting in the first seat. But the Driver started shouting at us for not being ready before the stop has reached. More over only we two of us (My brother and myself) got down at that stop. Cant he wait even for a minute or at least few seconds in a stop, for the passengers to get down. I would suggest the concerned persons to warn the drivers and advice them to treat the passengers properly. Even though they don't treat the passengers with at most respect they need not treat them rudely. because they may be people like us who are new to city or traveling to new destinations. They may even have some physical or mental problems, these kind of treatments will hurt them for sure.
