Vendors inside the public transport

Suba, you have raised a very touching issue. I entirely agree with you that vendors in the moving buses and as well in trains are real headache and they play havoc with your journey. Children get restless after seeing them and insist their parents to buy inferior quality good from them. But I think that the flip side is....vendors have also to earn their livilihood...so what would they do to earn...they see public transport as a soft target to earn money. Very Good Discussion indeed!

well definitely they are!!..but im sad about those people trying to earn money through selling in buses...i do buy some on them but only peanuts..i mean those food which i think are clean and not open..we do have buses here in our country especially if we are going to travel by land..

yeh not only busses in my city trains as well. But i feel its we the people who buys things from them are responsible as once we stop buying things from them they will automatically stop it and may not come to sell as their business will stop running.But more over to this i feel that the Indain population programs are never a success imagine the population of India and not all are educated so in order to earn the living one has to do sumthing and so selling articles in the busses and trains is easier as compared to any thing specially selling eatables is a big hit as people are travelling would definately demand food and water. In trains in my city you can get eatables,water,news papers,magazines,beauty products,clothes,fabrics,fruits,vegetables evryting in the train which one can imagine.
