[Resolved]  Best Buses — Rash driving

Respected Sir,
This letter is to inform you that the bus drivers which you are appointed for the public service are not taking care of the public as well as other vehicles. They are driving there buses as there own wish. They are not thinking any thing while they are driving the buses in rush areas. When ever they have more time limit to report the depot they are driving very slowly & when ever they don’t have the time then driving like Airplane & that time not looking which vehicles are coming from there Left / Right side, they are just putting there legs on accelerator.
They should drive from the left side of road when ever Bust Stop comes near by, but they do not bother to keep that distance.

The incidents happen on 18.04.2010 (Sunday) on time of 7.38 pm at Andheri sahar Road at Shri Chatrapati Shivaji Chawk. I Dilip Dhotre driving a bike behind your best bus no- 340 (Aslfa) at the same bus stop. First off all the driver stoped his bus in the middle of the road at the bus stop.
There was sufficient space to drive bike at right side of the bus, I just entered the lane of that & suddenly the bus driver took a turn right side very speedily towards the divider of the road, I stop bike with both brakes & shocked that how he drives the bus?
After that I said the driver that ‘Kaka jhara bhagun chalva’ the old person (Driver) roughly replied me that “rasta kai tujya bapachi ahe, left ne chalav.na”.
Then I stoped the bus & told him to come out for explanation but he did not come out & used abused words from inside the bus only. He stoped his bus again in the middle of the road, when I & some people shouted him to take the bus at side of the road then he took the bus at side.
I had called at 100 for Police but did not connect. Luckily the Police persons are found there only, because they are came there for there another complaint. Hence they came to us & asked us about the incident, even the police man asking question to driver he answered roughly to him.
I had decided to complaint against him, and then the driver cleverly said that the stopping (30 mins) charge will apply on this guy, in that case I showed the timing of dialing no of police & asked the public which are gathered there to police persons for witness of time which was hardly took 15-20mins.
After that Police man noted the bus no, batch no, rout no of the bus driver & when police man asked for the contact number to driver & conductor they denied to give the numbers.
Driver Name: - Dnynaeshwar Dhotre. Batch No- 82222, Bus no- 8295, Rout no- 340 (Aslfa – Ghatkopar).

I had submitted all the details & contact numbers to police.
I had logged a complaint against the Bus Driver at Vile Parle Police station. NC no - 802/10 of Rash Driving. .
For your information there are no damages to me or my vehicle.

This step was taken by me because of so many peoples are facing the same issue but no one takes seriously due to daily works.
Those only come in pictures which are got accident only.


You (BEST) should take the serious action against these types of Drivers who are not responsible. Because this incident was just failed for seconds either I would have been lots of damages.
To prevent these types of accidents we have to take some action other wise I will be go for further actions.

Municipal Bus driver in Mumbai — Rash driving

My husband and myself were travelling towards our office in Powai. Near IIT signal junction road, this muncipal corporation bus driver tried to overtake us and brushed by our car and hit the side light. My husband stopped the car and asked him why did he drive this way and who is responsible for the damage. To this he came down of the bus and started abusing and hitting my husband. 4 to 5 more people came down from the bus and supported him. at the next signal we stopped and told the traffic cop about the incident. The traffic cop tried stopping the bus but he ran away. Then we filed a complaint against him at Powai police station. I want strict action to be taken against this man.

Respected Sir/Madam,
This complain is to draw your attention towards rash driving by one of your best driver.. I am also attaching the photo of the bus number which I took after the incident.

Me and Friend were on a Activa riding on the right side near manish market as there are multiple bus stops to the left.. Still a best bus came very much closer and then he honked and abused us to get aside.. He was close to hitting us. And after he took a stop he again came behind us and abused us to get aside..
We didn't bother to argue with that brainless driver and instead I took a photo of the number plate..
The incident happened at 9:30 pm on 31st July 2021, near manish market..
Kindly resolve this issue as the driving was too dangerous and the way your driver responded was quite offensive.
