All BEST bus drivers have a Schumacher in them somewhere. They own the roads in Mumbai. Who says size doesn't matter. If you see a huge red box with people falling out, you gotta get out of the way.
This one time I was returning from Worli with my sis, a bus stopped right in front of us and we hopped in at sat on the 'Ladies seat'. As soon as we reached Dadar 'Kabootar Khana'(its a roundabout where pigeons come to eat), there was a sudden thud!
We looked out of the window and there was a taxi on the left with one light less. Out came the taxi driver and starter shouting. As usual, one million people left whatever they were doing and gathered around and were watching as if there was a live street performance. What is an incident without any spectators? lolz.... So out came the taxi driver and he moved to the trunk of the car and got out a huge twisted iron bar and marched angrily towards the front of the bus. I thought he was going to kill someone! He smashed the front two glasses of the bus and said, "you broke my lights, here, take this! Wham! Wham" We were wondering what was going to happen next. My sis was like, "Deeds, this is scary! Let's get off! Now!" So we got off and said we would rather go walking all the way home! There was a policeman there who was completely stumped and didn't know what to do. The matter got resolved by itself. They both broke each other's glasses and called it quits. So the crowd dispersed, the taxi driver went his way and the same bus stopped by us once more, this time without the front glasses, and we boarded the same bus again and got home! So the next time you are in a local bus, BEST of luck!
