the passenger said
The bus wavered two-three times between 1 am and 2 am in the night, due to which we feared that the bus driver might be drunk. But the compulsion was that the bus could not be changed. I was sleeping early in the morning when there was a loud noise. The middle seat slid up to the driver’s seat. It was lucky that my life was saved.
