The real truth - a blue line bus owners story

Hi All readers and rediff ,
I am a blue line bus owner and would like to bring to light related to the topic covered by rediff today .. 1. The money earned by a bus is mentioned as 7000-8000 per day, can this rediff reporter check the govt records of DTC buses and confirm this. I don't expect a forum like rediff to quote wrong figures , which are just around coz ppl want blue lines to look bad 2. The politicians would not fall for such paltry incomes , when they have bigger sources of income. 3.The owners of these buses are middle class ppl who are just running some small business like shops in Delhi. Just that shops are in shapes of buses. 4. People often accuse the owners. But when owners contract the buses , they dont tell the Drivers in the morning - " Go and get me 2 dead bodies today for MunnaBhai's medical class" Its like a shopkeers giving the responsibility of the shops security to one of his workers and he leaves the shop open and forgets to unlock and leave for the day. Who is the culprit , the servant or the OWNER. 5. The real culprit is the traffic police. They are bribed by contractors and they dont do their duties. And when accidents happen , ppl blame the owners. The buses are impounded. The owners lose their livelihood , the drivers just have a case and they move on to drive others buses and call center cabs etc. The real culprit are the drives , their licenses should be cancelled and they should not be allowed to drive. The owners get reprimanded
