As an Indian I can assure you that there are only a handful of bus stop in any major city which have the bus number written on them. There is a general apathy of service providers to the users. Dormitories for workers is a relatively new concept and not very common, it is quite possible that it was quickly built, was a penny pinching contractor or an all in all general apathy which is not that very uncommon. Also to note that these are remote dormitories managed by subcontractors, this abuse is very common (even reminds me of a case of foreign berry pickers in Sweden). There is probably no evil hand except these did not not figure highly on their priority list.

"[G]eneral apathy of [someone] to [others]" IS my definition of evil. To me, evil is carrying out your will without (or against) the will of others regardless of the consequences. The only missing piece is that the level where society places that deed in the morality spectrum. Lawful evil is still evil.

  There is some relativity involved, as a child growing up in the 90s even for someone from a comfortably middle class family the safety standards were very poor. Students on cycle sharing roads with industrial trailers, leaky electric poles, light poles, I have had several near death incidents including falling off of a crowded bus. The standards have certainly improved quite drastically, busses with doors that close is a big improvement indeed. Some of this lack of empathy is global especially if it is not your problem, there is nothing evil but few greedy people who thought they could get away with cutting corners but got caught with their pants down. It is good, hopefully something good will come out of it. I am sure the conditions will improve once it is brought to light. I was also trying to make the point that we get much worse services from the government and we have no way to provide feedback, especially if it is the fault of bureaucrats (safe permanent job with a fat pension) and we do not vote for bureaucrats.
