Necessity of toilets in public buses

There are some regular commuters who have to spend an average of six to nine hours on public buses. During this time, when they have to use the toilet, the supervisor of the bus decides to stop once or twice in their entire route. But not everyone may have to use the toilet at that time. Given that it would be impractical for the buses to stop every time a passenger gets the nature’s call, it is necessary for buses to have clean and hygienic toilets installed within them.
This is a very basic need that would be extremely beneficial for all commuters of the city. I hope the owners of the bus companies, authorities of the labour organisation, and our Communication Minister will give importance to this matter.
