Students have a tough time getting to school because of waterlogged, pothole-ridden roads, like this one at Dahisar subway

Commuting on city’s roads is no fun for anyone, least of all for the 1,000 bus drivers who ferry thousands of children to school and back daily, come rain or shine. But as the condition of roads goes from bad to worse, school bus operators have decided to protest on Thursday, when they will block roads all over Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Bhiwandi with their buses.
