Dear CM Sindh action on bus conductors.
Yes U correctly mentioned the corruption by People Bus Service Conductors by charging Rs 50 from each & every one who traveled for minimum / maximum distance
No ticket system in the People Bus Service which enhanced the corruption in the PSB by management via conductors of PBS
