Pretty much a routine I today IT world is the phenomenon of hired cabs taking on the public transportation role.
In this era of fast paced everything it comes as no surprise when a person is out to make a quick buck on the company. This is a daily scenario in the life of every commuter who waits in bus stops. Well it certainly helps the public in getting from point a to point b with absolutely no hassle sans the jostle in the cab itself, but come to think of the company which pays the driver to come back to the company at the earliest. The plight of its employees is in the hands of the cab driver who is infact busy making an easy buck on the side. Well not that the person goes out of his way to transport the public but still isn’t it the companies valuable time out that is taken advantage of?
Coming to a scene I happened to witness the other day. A friend and I was standing outside a pastry shop which happened to be just beside a bus stop, a stop where people were crowding waiting for a bus to come. Then all of a sudden some of them started rushing to a mini van which had halted where a bus should have. The amount of people in that got in the van would have easily crossed his daily bata( money given to the driver per day). The van was a satyam cab. As the van pulled away in its place stood a HAL bus, followed by one of Infosys, TCS and to top it all a tanker lorry. Whew it makes you wonder ain’t there a thing called private? Another thing one wonders is where is the government run buses and how do they fare in between this stiff competition.
