Summary:
By Express News ServiceHYDERABAD: In a freak incident, a temporary TSRTC driver abandoned a bus full of passengers — from Secunderabad via Hakimpet to Turkapally — late on Wednesday claiming his duty hours were over. A frantic passenger onboard Teja Arukoti, tweeted about how the driver had stopped the bus randomly at Hakimpet depot at 8:40 pm and asked all the passengers to deboard. I was shocked when the driver abandoned over 50 passengers in the middle of the road. Furthering the passengers’ worry, the conductor, who was not authorised to drive the bus, volunteered to take them to the destination. This appears to be substantiated as the drivers have, on multiple occasions, abandoned trips midway..
