Thane Municipal Transport [TMT] — the arrogant and rogue driver of tmt

Address:

Thane, Thane, Maharashtra, 400601

Dear sir,
I would like to inform you that on 16th April`19, I was waiting at TMT Bus stop (ST WORK SHOP) at mid sun, 12 noon to avail a bus to come at Majiwada. I am a senior citizen of 69 years old and it was troublesome for me to wait for the long time as in this route, the frequency of the TMT Buses is too low.
(1) The bus no MH04 -EP 0838 of Thane station – Manorama Nagar arrived at about 12.15 hours but the driver did not halt the bus in the Stop (i) Although I showed my Hand (ii) The road was with traffic and hence it was in slow speed and I could knock the door of back side, but the Driver Did not bother to halt .
(2) The bus was not at all crowded.
(3) It was stopped near the signal and I ran away after the bus to get inside by risking my life.
(4) I knocked the front door and the Driver opened the Door.
(5) I asked him “why he did not bother to stop the bus at the stop? “
(6) He started arguing that whatever he did, it was quite justified. He even told me several Times “do whatever you like, I don`t care”. He also told me that “he could not have allowed me to come inside the bus at the mid of the way”.
(7) So many passengers who witnessed the incidence also supported me and they scolded the Driver, but the Driver (a young man of 30) was too arrogant and going on argument till Majiwada stop.
(8) The Conductor also tried to cool the matter telling that “Sir, forget it”. But the Driver was not in a position to accept his fault and was irritating all the passengers.
Sir, the whole thing would have been cooled if the Driver could say” Sorry “to all the passengers! He did not have any remorse for his wrong doing!
I would like to request you sir to Counsel, train and educate and to punish that foolish Driver in Khaki that (i) It is his duty to halt at each & every stop and to pick up the passengers. (ii) TMT has invested so much money on the buses to serve the citizens, who pay fare and the staffs get the salaries! (iii) TMT has not started any Charity to pay the salaries of the staffs at free of cost, but it comes from the pockets of the public only. (iv) Let that half qualified Driver must not think that he is the boss of the passengers while on steering and he can not do what ever he likes. (v) He must not argue with any passenger especially with the senior citizens who are 10 times higher qualified that him.
Hope, you are kind enough to stop such indecency in the TMT services which is not very popular among the citizens because of such rogues in the staffs.
Thanking you.
