hello, 1. you may request the person to inform you when he leaves before your bus arrives. In case if you are not able to know whether the person to whom you have asked left, you may follow the direction of the crowd where passengers are getting in or coming out. If you can not even make out any direction, you may follow the position of the place where bus is standing on the stop, I guess it can be figured it out from the voice and move ahead towards the front gate and ask the driver about the bus number.
2. if you happen to travel in the early morning, you may keep track of the timings of the time table of that bus and follow your timings accordingly because, in the morning especially in the early timings, you will find surely any stop on which many school going students are getting in to that bus. For example, in my area in Mumbai, when I use to go to my college in the early morning, there were three bus stops near to my hhouse amongst which there were only one particular stop on which these students use to get in to that bus. So I had made my habbit to go that bus stop to catch the bus. Although other bus stops were more closer to my house but since noone use to catch the bus from that stop, bus never use to stop there. If you are going to travel in the late night, then surely there are traffic police inspectors available if not on the bus stop, surely nearbye on any traffic signal. You may approach them to help you out to stop that bus when it arrives on that signal or bus stop. I use to take the help from them and they use to advise me to wait on that traffic signal if the bus I wanted were going to pass from there or if not, they use to suggest me to wait on that stop and use to depute other colleague to help me out. 3. generally, cab drivers does not refuse to board any visually challenged persons but of course, there are few who either due to their mentality not to get the money from us or they avoid taking the passengers due to short distance. So in this case, you can get it clarified from them. If it’s the distance issue, you may first request to take you as customer to avoid any further arguments and to waste yours time as most of the time nothing comes out from such quarrelings. If that too doesn’t work you may simply try to take the number of that cab and notify the same to traffic authorities. But the easiest way to avoid these situation would be when you stop any cab just try and first get in to the cab and then after boarding in to the cab you may tell him about your destination. If it’s the issue of his mentality, you may try to convince him about the prepaid system i.e. fixing the determined charges to take you to your destination and offer the charge first. Because, I have seen on various stations when passengers take the cab they first deposit the money to them and then cab driver issue the receipt for it. So that he can be made sure about his money. 4. in this case, you may either try to reach any traffic signal near to that high way to catch the cab or find any corners, streets, adjacent where generally cabs parks. If not, then you may use the services of few cab services companies like yatricab to fix the cab if your visit is predetermined else you may walk little more to find near parking place as mentioned by me. thanks, mukesh.
