Karwa Driver hit a pasenger ...

Hi all Qls,

One strange and a hero like thing happened today when I return to office after my lunch break.

I used to travel by bus. There are lots of illegal things doing by these Karwa bus drivers. Some of them are,
• They take the Tickets from the getting down passengers and giving back to a new passenger getting in. and then that 3QR will be going to Driver’s pocket.
• They stop very far from the bus stop and all should run to the bus. If even an old person walked the driver will take the bus and go without waiting. And stop far away from the bus stop and need to get down and walk more.
• They treat labors very badly. Mostly by without stop the bus or may be not stopping in the correct bus stop.

These are some of the things they do regularly, commonly and publicly. May be not all the drivers doing this. There are good once too. But few. Most of them are doing all these without thinking from the side of Labors. How hard they work and how tired they are after work. I think all of you can understand how tired they are… and working long hours and for less salary than all of us….
What happened today was:
A person got in to the bus (Bus No: 726[I guess because it was displayed on the back of the bus] and RN: 33 at around 2:50pm on 10-12-2009) from Al Aziziya and gave money. The driver gave him and old ticket. That person took it with a worried face and sat. Then he wanted to get down from the Qatar Decoration Bus stop near the tysir Petrol Station. There was bit traffic. BUT the bus took the inside road. So there was no traffic. BUT the bus stopped even before the tysir Petrol Station. And the door was open. That person told the driver to take the bus to the Bus Stop. Because may be more than 25m need to walk from that place to the bus stop itself. So driver was telling something in may be Indian language and he took the bus. And he didn’t stop the bus in the bus stop.
The person was telling the driver to stop the bus. And he showed the bus stop to the driver and told this the bus stop. Stop the bus. But the driver didn’t stop. So the person pressed the ticket machine and a ticket came out. And he told the driver to stop the bus. Suddenly bus stopped and driver was shouting why did you pressed the machine and he was asking the money for the ticket.
The person told “ NO I will not give you. Why didn’t u stop the bus? Do I want to walk all this far just because you didn’t stop the bus. Now even you stopped just because I pressed this otherwise I have to walk from next bus stop to here. That means from Midmac to Tysir.”
Then there were some others shouting against the driver and the Driver suddenly HIT THAT PERSON. He HIT to that persons head. And that guy may be know something he just quickly reacted and saved himself from the shot. And then all others started to the driver and they were ready to call the police. Then some people came and controlled the situ and driver also got scared and opened the door and that person got down and told the driver to give new tickets and stop the bus in the bus Stop.
This a good lessons for all the bus drivers. They should maintain their level. Without cheating they should do the job respectfully and legally. They should not treat people like this way.

IF they continue doing this tomorrow there will be another person like this to press the ticket button…..

Thank you for reading.
