NMMT Bus — driver was very rude | |||
I was walking towards near kharghar bus stop. I waved at the driver for him to stop, but instead told me to run towards the bus stop as he wouldn't stop. Im Asthamatic and fat, so therefore i cant run. It was hardly 15 seconds away from the bus stop. I wanted to get on the bus 103 non ac at 11:30 am. I had to go to Dadar. He didn't even wait for even a second and sped away. What kind of person does to a individual who is sick and can't run. I would like to file a suit against the driver. Was this information helpful? | |||

As a rule for most public transport buses, The buses are supposed to take in and allow passengers to exit the bus ONLY AT DESIGNATED BUS STOPS.
Now it is expected by law-abiding citizens, to stand in queue for the bus. Thus its first come first served. Now if the driver had picked you as you wanted, would it not be unfair to other passengers who are being civil and standing at the designated place for the Bus? If I am one of the passengers, I would think you are an ### of the highest degree to steal a seat over other passengers.
Now about your health issue, A driver driving on the bus does not know your health condition, does he? Drivers will ideally stop for a Handicapped person because their handicap is seen. But in your case, how is Asthma going to be seen? Further, am sorry to say that you being fat (as you said) it is an issue of Lifestyle so dont blame the driver for not being nice to wait for fat man.
I have few times in hurry, felt unfair like you that the driver did not stop for me, but then I do think of this very logic and believe that the driver was right. As being good to one, he might be unfair to many. Also its not my place to say, but if you are going from Kharghar to dadar, it would have been convenient for you to take a Train all the way to Wadala and then get to Dadar, Else you can get from Khargar to Kurla, and switch trains and then Kurla to Dadar, am sure you would reach earlier than going by train. But in the bus that you said, you could get to seat but on train that chance might be less.
