Guntur, Andhra Pradesh – Faced with a lack of adequate rest facilities at depots, and the relentless onslaught of mosquitoes during night halts, resourceful RTC bus drivers in Guntur have devised a clever solution: portable mosquito nets.
Many bus drivers, and conductors, working night shifts find themselves without proper resting places after their buses arrive at depots for the night. The lack of suitable accommodations and limited financial resources prevents many from affording lodging. This often leaves them sleeping in their buses. However, the high concentration of commercial buildings and markets surrounding the depots leads to a significant mosquito problem, making a good night’s rest difficult.
To combat this issue, drivers have started using pop-up mosquito nets. These easily collapsible nets provide a safe haven from insects within the bus. The nets, which resemble small, portable tents, are easily packed away after use.
This innovative approach has garnered significant praise online, with many sharing photos on social media and applauding the drivers’ resourcefulness in overcoming their challenging working conditions. The simple yet effective solution highlights the creativity and adaptability of these essential workers.
