A five-year-old boy, who had seizures while travelling in a BEST bus with his mother, was saved by alert bus staffers. They emptied the bus, diverted it to the nearest hospital and even deposited all the cash on them to get the child admitted. BEST GM Lokesh Chandra felicitated them on Wednesday.

In a social media post, a co-commuter Tanvi Gavankar said, “I happened to be at Thakur Hospital at Shivaji Park on Tuesday. When I was about to leave around 1.30 pm, I saw a bus ticket collector and a bus conductor along with two-three people rushing into the hospital. The ticket collector was holding a child (5-year-old) in his arms and a helpless mother was crying,” she narrated.
