Location/place: trivandrum
Name of company/service: KSRTC Kerala State RTC
I am a daily traveler of KSRTC Fast Passenger buses. I boarded this bus from Pangappara which was going to Attingal on 11th Sep 2013 5 PM.
The number was RSM228 Trivandrum-Attingal Fast Passenger. The bus was overfilled with passengers including many infants (atleast 5 I could see in the bus). The driver was overspeeding and overtaking every single vehicle on the lane forcing a 2 wheeler rider to fall on the gutter beyond the tarred side of the road. When the kazhakuttom traffic was up, he accelerated and gave sudden breaks more than a hundred times though there was not an ‘inch space’ to move forward hurting many passengers and an infant inside the bus with sudden jerks of the bus. Moreover, this guy never stops not even near the bus stops though it was raining heavily.
To my surprise, this was the same person who drove the Trivandrum-Karunagappally Fast Passenger a few weeks ago. I was to complain at that time, when he drove the vehicle the same way. I have dropped a complaint at the Attingal KSRTC Depot, though I am unsure, whether they would read it or take any action.
