My first experience of travelling in local bus in Hyderabad

Never thought that traveling by bus would be so much fun. And few may ask me what‘s big deal in that? Yes! But in Hyderabad I never traveled by bus all these years but after my last week’s MMTS experience; this week I got the experience of traveling in a bus too.

Few days back I had to go to Splendid Towers (Near Shopper Stop).I was waiting outside Lifestyle Building for an auto. Few auto drivers refused to go and the ones who were ready were charging Rs 40.I saw one girl trying to cross the road, I thought lemme also cross the road in a hope of getting an auto on the other side.

Now crossing the road has always been a nightmare and this reminds me of my friend Richa who says”Vijayeta tereko jo road cross karayega woh kudh hi road cross karma bhool jayega”(HAHA).Yup!this is true I have a phobia in crossing the road. So when I saw the crossing I told her to stop and said even I want to go to the other side, please help me. She smiled at me and held my hand. And in no time I was on the other side of the road.I told the girl that I had to go to Splendid Towers, she said “Didi why don’t you travel by bus, this is the bus stop and there are lots of buses going towards that side

” I was in two minds but thought Yup! Why not? So many people travel by bus and I am not a princess (Smile).There came a bus and I got a place to sit. The conducter asked me to pay the fare, I asked him, How much? He said Rs 4, I was surprised I said, Is it? Coz I never thought that traveling in a bus means less fare. I was calculating the fare of Rs40 (Auto) versus Rs4.

When I came home,I realized that even traveling by bus or MMTS is convenient. All these years in Hyderabad my means of transport was Auto Rickshaw.

Today When I look Back and think of those days when I travelled by autos,It makes me feel that I have made so many Auto drivers rich (HAHAHAHAH)!!!
