Bangalore’s bus drivers are cracking down on a mini crime wave. The perpetrators: overexcited software engineers. Banaglorean buses have been equipped with touch-screen computers, connected to the internet, in an attempt to encourage local techies to take the bus to work.
Some of those techies have been so impressed with the devices that they have filched them from the buses. Bus drivers have been warned to be vigilant, and last week caught programmer and first time thief Sagar Reddy, 32, with a screen in his bag that he just couldn’t resist.
“It is also the responsibility of commuters to bring such incidences to our notice," said bus company cop B H Amaresh, who has the delightful title of chief vigilance officer.
