THEIR PROFIT WILL TREBLE. WHAT ABOUT THE SERVICES THEY OFFER? ANIMAL DRIVING? LOUD MUSIC? CLEAN BUSSES? IF A/C IN PROPER WORKING ORDER.

GOVT. BARGAIN ON THESE POINTS BEFORE GETTING SCARED BECAUSE FINALLY WE ARE PAYING THE FAIR PLUS THE TAXES FOR THE DEALS YOU JUST CONTRACTED WITH THEM. THINK. THINK. THINK.

Though they say Rs.9 actually it is Rs.10. We won't get balance. Why don't you make it 10. Easy for both parties.
