I had a disappointing experience during my recent bus journey and would like to bring a few issues to your attention. The bus was scheduled to depart at 7:15 pm, but the driver called me at 6:50 pm asking where I was. When I explained that I was stuck in heavy traffic due to the heavy rainfall, he spoke to me rudely and said that he would not wait for anyone. He also questioned whether I was unaware of the weather conditions beforehand. I understand that buses need to follow a schedule, and I would have understood if the driver had informed me that he could not wait upon arriving at the scheduled departure time. However, calling me 15 minutes early and expecting me to reach immediately, especially during heavy rainfall and traffic, was unreasonable. His rude behaviour caused me unnecessary stress and panic. What makes this even more frustrating is that I reached my destination 1 hour and 40 minutes later than the scheduled arrival time. I fail to understand why such urgency was expected from me when the bus itself arrived significantly late. I believe punctuality and consideration should work both ways, and passengers deserve to be treated with respect regardless of the circumstances. I would also like to mention that the second driver who contacted me was polite and helpful, which I appreciate. However, the charging port at my sleeper berth was not working either, which added to the inconvenience of the journey. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously, addresses the driver's unprofessional behaviour, and ensures that the facilities provided to passengers are properly maintained. I am sharing this feedback in the hope that future passengers will have a more comfortable and respectful travel experience.
