Delhi Transport Corporation [DTC] — Rash driving by DTC bus

Address:New Delhi, Delhi, 110070

I was returning home to Vasant Kunj, on Aruna Asaf Ali Road this evening. A red color air conditioned DTC bus number DL 1P C 8979 swerved dangerously jumping the red light and almost hit me on the right side of my car. I intercepted the bus at Kishangarh Village entrance & asked him why did he not stop at the red light. The driver said everyone did it, so i wasn't the only one.No one else jumped the red light except this DTC bus, knowing fully well the intimidating size of his vehicle. The driver then abused me in choicest of Haryanvi language and told me I can do nothing to him...I cannot harm him at all and I can go to hell (he used a language worse than this ..)

I then got out of the car and took the attached photograph of the Bus

These days days lesser mortals like private cars and taxis are traffic rule abiding, and it is the Govt vehicles with GOVT OF INDIA written on their car and DTC buses (especially Yellow and Red) which violates traffic rules with impunity. Traffic Police don't even look at them and turn a blind eye. As a result we ordinary, tax paying mortals are at their mercy.

आज दिनाक 14/10/2021 को प्रातः 10:40 बजे ज्वाला हेड़ी मार्किट से अगली लाल बत्ती को तोड़ते हुए एक हरे रंग की डीटीसी बस जिसका नम्बर DL1PC7217 है तेज़ी से भेरा एनक्लेव गोल चक्कर की और बड़ी जो कि रास्ता रोड पर पार्किंग की वजह से कम ही सड़क बचती है। पर डीटीसी ड्राइवर बिना किसी की परवाह करे आड़ी तिरछी खतरनाक ड्राइविंग करता हुआ तेज़ी से बस चला रहा था । इतना ही नही जब इस बस ड्राइवर को ओवरटेक करने का मौका नही मिला चुकी सड़क छोटी थी तो इसने मुझे पर अभ्रद भाषा का प्रयोग किया और जब मैंने इस से इसका कारण पूछा तो कहने लगा कि चला जा वर्ना बस तेरे ऊपर चढ़ा दूँगा। मुझे अपनी माता जी को डॉ को दिखाने जाना था तो मैं तत्कालीन इसकी शिकायत नही कर पाया था। मेरा आप से निवेदन है कि आप जल्द से जल्द इस खतरनाक बस चलाने वाले ड्राइवर पर कार्यवाही करे ताकि किसी की जिंदगी इसकी लापरवाही की वजह से न जाये।
धन्यवाद जी

The same incident happened with me on chattarpur mahipalpur route bus number 7072 around 5:40 pm on 08.06.2022. A cluster has almost hit me. When I overtake him and said mind your driving. He casually said " lagi to na " in haryanvi accent further abused me. They don't fear to loose 15k rupees job and don't even care about someone's life. No action will be taken against these drivers because we lack documentary evidence. Hopefully, Delhi government will take action only after thousands of death and accidents.
I want to inform you that please do not sit in DTC bus or drive around DTC bus, because today save me by accident, This incident is from Deepali Chowk at 11:40 am. when I spoke to the driver of DTC bus, he started abusing.please reject driving licence this bus dricer
