During parking, the bus jumped the barricade and entered the platform where passengers were standing, killing two on the spot, while one more died at the hospital, the police official said.
The incident took palce in Navsari city, around 280 km from here.
The deceased include two women, he said.
"People were waiting on the platform when a local state transport bus rammed into the barricade and jumped over the platform while parking," Navsari deputy superintendent of police B S Mori said.
The driver fled the spot soon after the incident, he said.
"We are not sure if the driver did this deliberately, as the brakes of the bus had not failed. We can only know this after arresting the driver, who managed to flee the spot taking the benefit of the crowd," Mori said.
