Ali is a conductor of a bus which moves between lahore to Kingra Morr,
Sialkot. He gets up early in the morning. After washing his face and
hands, he went straight to bus stand and cleans the bus before the arrival
of driver. Then he gets the bus to laari adda and pays the adda taxes.
After that they placed the bus in line and start waiting for their turn to get
passengers in the bus. When his turn comes, his goal is to get as many
as passengers in the bus. So that he will not have to wait to much for
passengers on next bus stops. As more as passengers sit in bus, Ali will
get more commission. He needs more income to fulfill his family needs.
He needs some way to get more passengers with less effort .
12. Point of View

We met a person standing at bus stop in the shiny day and waiting
for bus because he did not know the exact time of arrival of bus at that
stop and he was also curious to know where the bus has been reached
now?
We were amazed to realize that he has to face such circumstances in
the era of technology.
It would be game challenging to help such persons by providing
them information about exact arrival time of their desired bus at their
desired bus stop and how far way is bus from them? With the help of
technology.
