29th May 2014 - This day was a memorable day for any Hyderabadi private vehicle driver. As he seldom faced any challenged (apart from bad road conditions - by default) thanks to Telangana bandh by most patriotic Telangana party. While bandh seemed to be quite effective as party is set to step into governance mode in less than a week's time; what made bandh more pleasant was absence of RTC buses from road. This gave auto-rickshaw drivers to have more commanding drives and gave a break to the 'brakes' of 2/4-wheelers. The day marked use of good accelerator on a Hyderabadi road which is quite amazing unless you're a core old city resident!
Places like Lakdi ka Pul, Mehdipatnam wore a deserted look! Near Mehdipatnam I could feel grin on my bike when she'd have seen a fleet of buses standing idle in corner of road. My bike must be feeling so happy that there will be less over taking job at hand today... Much satisfying was organized Lakdi ka Pul junction where our Hyderabad Kings err Bus drivers stop their jets in middle of the road even knowing that fact that bus-stop has been moved to corner due to on-going Metro work. It cares them little even if they stop buses in middle of road, rightly so "government ka maal jo hai"...
Anyway yesterday marked a pleasant day for most of Hyderabadi drivers but won't have been such better day for people who commute by buses daily! :( Spare a thought for people who have no means other than this-economical-government-transport. Anyway, let's hope such days will be lesser as the party famous for 'bandhs' is going to form it's first government soon. [Note: We're not talking about Delhi here.. :P]
Concluding with a wish that we continue to have RTC buses on road but more educated and responsible RTC drivers will help us the most! And a prayer that 'Hyderabad Metro' project go live soon so that we have lesser traffic, better commuting, greener city and happier Hyderabadi!
