Bike taxi driver of Bambo

 Bambolim bike taxi driver who didn't return


The busman asked as to board. another bus to go to Panjim which we did and reached half an hour later a point in Panjim . 


When I have climbed down two or three youths on Scooter and motorbike, enquired whether we require taxis. I was thinking that he will go and bring a car and the fare will be high. But when the next boy asked it occurred that the motorbike itself is the taxi. 


The boy told that the fare for Bambolim is Rs.30 and he will drop me at my correct address. The boy knew neither Hindi nor English and the conversation took place with the help of signs and gestures.


After a brief bike ride, we came opposite to Bambolim medical college and noticed the board indicating directions to the Telecom stores. The bike taxi boy took me through a wood and brought before the store compound. 


With much ease the VIP room was occupied by me. I enquired with the taxiboy whether he will take me around the tourist spots and he agreed and waited in the room.Due to language problem he could not explain me the fares he will charge. After a while he left at 0630 AM saying he will return at 730 AM but he never returned.
