nWhat really irks me while on the road is the ill behaviour of private bus drivers and conductors. I detest foul language and almost all the bus drivers and conductors believe in constantly hurling abuses at others on the road. In fact, even when they speak to one other, abusing is involved.

Another major issue is that they don’t care about smaller vehicles on the road. They never hestitate to cut in front of a smaller car and block its path. They don’t even stop for kids crossing the street. Even if a woman is alighting, the driver barely brakes for a second. They just don’t care for the passenger or the pedestrian.

However, I must say that things in my area ? Hazra ? have improved. Railings have been erected on the pavements, the roads are smoother and cleaner, and even though the road has been widened, the pavements are broad enough to walk on. Traffic is also well controlled in the area.
