Mangaluru, Mar 01, 2018:  City Police Commissioner  T R Suresh has urged bus operators to ensure  that the bus crew behaved courteously with passengers. He also urged them to oversee their  buses by themselves instead of  handing over the responsibility to others.

 

Speaking  after inaugurating a two-day training camp for city bus drivers and conductors under the aegis of the DK District Bus Operators’ Association on February 28, Wednesday  he even pointed out the number of  complaints  received against city bus operators and owners at the phone-in programme. He also urged bus operators  and crew to strictly follow the suggestions given at the training camp.
