I would like to complain against the driver of
Bus # : AP 3941 (Ordinary)
Route : 250/49M.
Date of travel : 14th Feb
Time of travel : 2.45 pm
I was waiting at the Mettuguda bus stop for a direct bus (10/47/49) to go to Begumpet. After waiting for almost half an hour (and it was hot too), this bus came at 2.45 pm. The driver stopped the bus just short of reaching the stop. I was standing in the bus shelter and as 2 or 3 passengers got down from the bus, I started walking towards it, and the driver just took off. The bus was half empty. And there were some 6 or 7 other ladies, some of them elderly, who were also waiting and wanting to board the bus, but the callous driver simply gave us a I-give-a-damn look and drove away.
First of all he has to stop the bus in front of the bus shelter and not before or after it. Secondly, when he sees there are people wanting to board the bus, he has to stop it and make sure they get in. He should show some respect for the elderly people too and halt the bus for them. He cannot expect them to walk fast or run and get into the bus.
Request you to warn him or take immediate action against him. I have had similar experiences before also but everytime I just let go. But someone has to report this sometime because if drivers like him do not get pulled up for their callous attitude, they will certainly repeat it!
