[Resolved] Best Bus Service, Mumbai — Rash Driving and Damage to my Vehicle

Address: Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

My car No.: MH-02-CL-1263 was damaged on the rear right side due to rash and negligent driving by BEST Driver whose name is Vinayak Dighe having BEST driver number: 3482 on BEST Bus Route Number 243, Bus Registration Number : MH-01-4A-5641 at Jankalyan Nagar, near Police Beat Chowkie No.4, today (09/02/2013) at 7.30pm.

The driver, Vinayak Dighe, having BEST Driver's Badge No.3482 rammed into and scrapped my car while passing my vehicle which was stopped on the side and I was sitting in it.

He did not stop and continued to drive away. I had to chase him and bring him to a halt in order to get the bus number and his details.

This was a clear case of hit and run and I demand that the BEST Management bring this driver to book and punish him under the law for rash driving.

I have registered a complaint with the Malvani Police Station and insist that the Law for rash driving be applied to every driver, including those in Government Service such as this BEST Driver.

I shall be taking this matter forward in all forums to bring to book rash drivers employed by the BEST Bus Service in Mumbai, Maharashtra.

BEST Bus Driver — BEST Bus Driver Rash driving with hit and Run Case

My name is Sachin Naik. Today at 9:40 am near Chakala signal, Andheri east, the bus driver of BEST bus no: 415 with name plate number: MH 01 8484 hit my accent and damaged the side mirror. I stopped my vehicle in front of him and he basically did not come out of the bus but instead did a hit and run. This has cost me Rs. 1500/-. Can any one let me know what needs to be done for this type of rash driving by BEST. They drive like driving small rickshaws unable to apprehend that they have a big big vehicle. Can any one help me what legal step can be taken against this irresponsible BEST drivers

B.E.S.T BUS SERVICE — Rash Driving

I am a regular commuter of B.E.S.T Buses plying on routes From Bhayander to Goregaon ( Dindoshi). Recently i have seen that best bus drivers are driving in very rash manner. The bus starts moving without all passengers having entered into the bus, this behaviour always carries a risk of accident. so, i would suggest that proper training should be given to best drivers so that journey is accident free.

BEST Bus service, Mumbai — Carelessness and carefree attitude towards the duty

This is regarding bus no MH 01 9763, the bus number 66. It leaves from Sion, Rani laxmi bai choak around 8.25. It is suppose to halt at Gandhi market stop, but it has become a everyday scene that the bus driver does not stop at all at the stop. Even on showing the hand and even after the bus being empty, the driver does not stop. The driver wears a monkey cap because of the winter season these days. He leaves a passengers who are getting down on the road. It is highly regretful that we have to face such a situation and it is spoiling the name of your service. I request you to please make a note of this. The driver who leaves around 8.25 in bus number 66 from rani laxmi bai choak. I noted the bus number today. Please take some action, or else I may have to go to the depot for the complaint. It is causing a lot of trouble for us.

BEST — no route name or number

there are no rout names or numbers on best buses now a days. all some things written is by a chalk which as a school student know will get dusted away by air flow during the bus travel. afterwards there becomes no father or mother or surname to the traveling tin.
i know it is useless for writing a complaint stunt,hoping some deaf ear & blind eye feels it.
print this complaint i[censored] dare on the news paper front page of mumbai news paper.
i challenge y cannot.

BEST — carelessness about bus driver

we were on a way to malad at around 7.30 am . we were in a car . a bus from a bus stop took the bus cross way . the car from end to first was totally spoilt . the mirror which was few days before broken was hopefully saved. i too was saved. THIS IS A SMALL COMPLAINT BUT IT WILL CAUSE A THREAT OF DRIVING ON MUMBAI STREETS . LIFE IS A DANGER ON MUMBAI STREETS . AS A 16 YEAR GIRL I AM FEELING THREAT OF GOING ON MUMBAI STREETS . WHAT A FUTURE!
