Answer:

The conductor called Valli 'madam' because of her reaction when he tried to help her. The conductor tried to help Valli get into the bus. For doing so he stretched out his hand. Valli, on the other hand, behaved like a very mature woman and said that she can help herself to get on the bus. She also said that she doesn't want anyone's help. Replying to this, the conductor in the joking tone called her 'madam.'
