Sir,
Yesterday, i.e. Saturday, 14th February, 2009, around 9.45 pm, I was standing at Bus Stop Near Railway Station Platform No. 6, Borivali ( East ) to catch Bus No. 209 which ply from Samata Nagar, Kandivali to Sudhendra nagar, Dahisar (East). After arriving the Bus no. MH 01 LA 0169 to the above mentioned Bust Stop, the Bus Driver has started the Bus immediately after boarding by 1 person & there were other 10 persons waiting for their chance to board the Bus. When all the persons has souted on Bus Conductor & Bus Driver, the Bus Driver has stopped the Bus & the remaining passengers have boarded on to the Bus.
After boarding to the Bus, when I have asked to the them, why they have not stopped the bus till all the passengers board the Bus ?. The Bus Conductor has told us that he has given signals to Driver, but this was a Driver's mistake. When we have enquired with Driver, he has enformed us that I can't see properly that's why I have not stopped the bus till all the passengers board in to the bus.
My bus ticket no. is[protected] for Rs. 5.00 ( 4.85 + 0.15 ). This is for your ready reference.
I appeal to higher authorities at BEST to please investigate and look into this matter. Please ask your staff to show courtesy to halt the bus and carry passengers at least when there is some place.
Regards
One offended passenger on Samata Nagar – Sudhendra nagar, Bus Toute No. 209 ( Borivali – East Bus STop)
