   Jaipur Diary: The First City Bus Ride

   

   The FM, the newspapers and all other media were brim with the launch of the new city buss service. We were excited to try it out once. The bus we took was Bus No 10, colour code green.
   The buses have been colour coded to denote a certain route almost like our endodontic files. The automated doors opened and I felt like the button to recline the dental chair has been pressed.
   A filthy haired, guthkha chewing, man ( the conductor) appeared with an electronic device that printed the tickets.
   Unfortunately the bust stopped at Galta gate. When asked why is it not going further to Bari chaupar, he replied, it will start again as new bus and we will have to get another set of tickets to proceed. Oh no, I never thought this would happen, two tickets for a single journey, that too on a city bus!!!
   In the mean while I took some pics for posting and keeping it as a memory. As the bust moved from this stop and traversed the pot hole ridden roads, Saba started feeling nauseated and motion sickness crept in.
   Soon we got down to proceed to Chaura rasta to get some books for her. While returning an autorickshaw seemed to be a better option. This was the first and probably the last journey of the Jaipur city, at least not on those old city routes.
