**************************************************************** Documented by Goa Desc Documentation Service & circulated by Goa Civic & Consumer Action Network (GOA CAN)<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ***************************************************************** -------------------------------------- Irresponsible Bus Operators -------------------------------------- The recent mini bus accident in which innocent people lost their lives should serve as a wake-up call to all of us. No doubt, there are private bus operators who do their job efficiently.
But there are others who do not treat passengers as human beings. They stuff passengers in their small buses like sardines in a can. They have no decency about them. They are abusive, rude and generally do as they wish. It is true that appearances are deceptive. The bus drivers turn out to be even worse monsters than they look. Drunken driving, crossing the speed limit (Is there one?) and reckless overtaking are the norms for these people. The only time they sober up is when they spot the RTO. Most of the young chaps who act as conductors are not aware of how to behave. They look at it as an opportunity to have one hell of a time. Anything relating to public service must be of the highest quality whether run by public or private entities. Sadly, since this is not the case, history will continue to repeat itself.
