How did the bus conductor treat Valli?
While being helpful and courteous to Valli, he also made fun of her arrogant attitude. He mimicked Valli's tone and asked her to feel comfortable. He addresses the young girl as “madam” because he feels that she behaves like grown ups. The conductor takes care of all the passengers and offers a drink to Valli too.
