Pune: The arrogance of private travel operators in Pune and their habit of playing with passengers’ lives just won’t stop. The engine of a ‘Sangitam Travels’ bus heading from Pune to Bhusawal suddenly failed, leaving small children, women, and elderly passengers stranded for two hours in the dark of night in the Moshi area. What’s absolutely infuriating is that after the engine failed mid-journey, the driver made a shocking admission: "This bus was already at the Moshi workshop for maintenance." That means a bus that was already faulty was deliberately put on the road, risking passengers’ lives! Taking advantage of the weekend and holidays, Sangitam Travels charged passengers exorbitant fares as usual. But after the bus broke down, the company made no alternative arrangements to take passengers forward. On a deserted road at night, the travel company owners have taken no responsibility for passenger safety. Despite repeated attempts by passengers to contact the travel company’s office and lodge complaints, the distressed travelers have directly alleged that they received no help from there. Overloading beyond capacity, running faulty vehicles on roads, and blatantly flouting rules have become routine for travel companies in Pune. Even though such incidents occur repeatedly, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) and police administration have once again been exposed for failing to take any concrete action against these travel mafias. Meanwhile, when Sangitam Travels was contacted, there was no response. #sangitamtravels #travelbus #LatestNews

On Sunday afternoon, in a drive at the Gourkanya Bus Terminus in Malda, names, logos and stickers mimicking those of government buses were removed from several private buses. Many private buses were operating with colour schemes (blue and white) and names resembling those of the state transport corporation. The use of such colours and names was causing confusion among passengers, particularly women. Following an order from the state government, free travel for women on government buses was introduced on 1 June. However, due to the visual similarity between government and private buses, many female passengers were inadvertently boarding private buses and subsequently getting hassled. Some private buses were displaying names like NBTS, MBTSG, and MMT to mimic the name of the North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC). Additionally, the vehicles were painted blue and white, just like government buses. On Sunday afternoon, Anupam Chakraborty, the regional transport officer (RTO) of the district, arrived at the Gourkanya Bus Terminus with transport department staff. There, misleading logos and stickers were removed from several private buses. Furthermore, markings and text imitating the state transport corporation’s branding were painted over with black ink. Passengers expressed relief at this move by the transport department. They believe that a clear distinction between government and private buses will prevent future confusion and significantly reduce harassment, especially for female passengers. Maloy Karmakar, in charge of the Malda Depot of the North Bengal State Transport Corporation, stated that the blue-and-white colour scheme has been used on NBSTC buses for many years, and the colour of private buses is not within their jurisdiction. However, he noted that female passengers often ask if a bus is a government one; NBSTC buses are painted blue and white as per government regulations, while the RTO office would be the authority to speak on bus colour specifications.
