[Resolved]  Best Bus Services — Rash Bus Driving by Best Driver

I am an employee of ACC Limited staying at Dariya Mahal at Mumbai, Nepean Sea Road. On 16.11.2009, I took a train to Grant Road Station to buy some veggies and after the job was done, was waiting at the bus stop outside GR station (Bus Routes 104,135 etc). The time was around 7 pm. After a long wait a bus approaches, at 7.20 pm (Bus No 104) where the driver rashly entered the area near where the commuters wait for the bus. There were many ladies and a huge crowd waiting for the bus , since it was late. On A/c of the rash driving of the bus driver, there was pushing backwards, wherein my elbow was grazed against the railing of the bus stand and started to bleed. Also I was shaken, and emotionally upset, because I thought I was going to be run over. I got into the bus and screamed my head off at the driver and the conductor, and aske dthe conductor to give me his registration no , which he refused. Even on repeated requests he did not comply.It is the duty of the conductor to part with such information, since he is a paid servant and we citizens pay our taxes. The Bus No was MH 01 9262 (no printed on the space behind the drivers seat) and the ticket issued to me was[protected] and I paid an amount of Rs 5/- as fare from Grant Road ststion to Dariya Mahal stop. I demand a written apology from BEST and the driver and conductor in question, and compensation for the emotional trauma that i went through. The bus ticket has been retained by me as proof. I believe I am a consumer availing of a public service , in good faith, which has been seriously compromised.

BEST Bus Services — Driver talking on Mobile Phone

To,
The concerned BEST Bus authority,
Mumbai

I traveled from YB Chavan bus stand to Marine lines on 2nd March, 2010 at around 7.30pm in the BEST Bus rout No. ‘121’. I found that the bus Driver was busy talking on his mobile Phone and as such was not able to drive the Bus properly. While the Bus came close to the Marine Lines Station the Driver used urgent Breaks to halt the Vehicle in order to save the Bus from an accident. From the facts and situation at that time I can rightly and honestly say that the situation to use urgent breaks aroused entirely due to the negligent driving of the Bus driver due to the sole reason of him talking on the Mobile Phone. Due to such urgent breaks many passengers suffered and shouted at the Driver. I was standing in order to get down at Marile Lines Station and I suffered badly with the injury to my right leg.
I would be very glad if proper rules are framed in this regard where by Bus Drivers are prevented from use of Mobile Phones while on duty. In the event if such rules are in force, then such Drivers be penalised in accordance with such rules. I am not aware of the name of that negligent driver, but I have preserved a bus ticked which bears the Number ‘[protected]’ (dated 02.03.10). I will request the appropriate BEST authority to take strict action against the driver of this BUS.
