Nanaware said: “By the time we reached the stop around 11 p.m., the bus was empty except for this woman and her child. We saw the deserted roads ahead of her as she prepared to disembark and noticed that no one had come to pick her up and there were no public transportation options available.
The duo asked the woman to sit inside and stood in the road waiting for her loved ones.
Former corporator More drove by in his car. After talking to the woman, he dropped her off at her house.
