A few days ago, I got out from my house and could not find any CNG-run auto rickshaw, so I simply hopped on a bus as it was relatively empty. I felt relatively relaxed to see that they did not pack the bus with people which is a common sight during rush hours.

Within a few minutes I noticed how quickly passengers were getting into the bus and before I knew it, every single empty seat was filled up. Not only that, the driver decided to pick up more passengers even when there were no more empty seats. Such blatant disregard for essential safety precautions cannot be tolerated. This will further worsen the infection rate. I urge the authorities to look into the matter so that commuters, passengers and bus drivers alike pay heed to the safety of the people.
