Tuesday witnessed the worst humiliation of commuters at bus stops across the twin cities owing to the shortage of public transport, which run on the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), while those who were plying their vehicles on cities busiest routes did not complete their routes on the excuse of non-availability of CNG. Exchange of harsh words and abusive language were also witnessed between the drivers of these vehicles and the commuters as due to the aforementioned problems everyone was trying to board the available vehicle at first. Taking advantage of the prevailing situation the transporters were demanding extra Rs3 to Rs4 to the scheduled fares for the destination giving the reason that they were using petrol to run their vehicles.
