TMT — drivers purposely driving very slow just to kill the time

Address: Thane, Maharashtra, 400607

Dear sir i am writing this as a passengers who is very fond of buses of tmt. We rely a lot on tmt for our daily commute . We love our tmt & we genuinely want tmt to be very good. Please do not test patience of sincere passengers like us. Kindly take some actions..

Mh 04 EP 0855 route no 98 itbwas mini bus. Bus departed around 9.30pm from thane satis bridge. I was standing right behind driver seat. I observe the driver for almost 35 minutes.bus was not very crowded only few passengers were standing. But right from start driver was driving the bus very very slow. Even on the empty roads bus driver never shifted to third gear(except only once ) and speed never crossed 20-25..this is damaging the engines as well and will yield a lower mileage . Despite of traffic bus took 40 mins to reach dhokali. As I could observe bus's gear box was also working fine..he was just making sure that he will take maximum possible time to reach kolshet . May be to avoid another route to some where else. People stand in queue for very long time waiting for bus. Eventually when bus arrives, people have to stand in bus for longer periods due to purposeful slow driving.
