In this bus too the driver was playing exceedingly loud music. Not only this he was also singing with the song and in between whistling and shaking his body also with the rhythm of the song. With goggles on his face he was driving with only one hand; in the other he was holding his mobile. This driver was looking and behaving like a 'gali ka goonda'.
Isn't it the time that concerned authorities wake up, reign in these unruly drivers and thus relieve passengers from this music-menace by the 'majnu' drivers?
