Mangaluru, Jan 15: In a tragic incident today at around 10:00 am, a 65-year-old woman lost her life in a bus mishap while traveling to Surathkal with her daughter.

The deceased is identified as Eramma.

The private bus, bearing the registration number KA 19 AA 2519, was en route when the unfortunate incident occurred.

    When we got Independence from British. I wish Britain had trained Indian to drive carefully and Indians engineers to build road properly.

    The majority of the pvt buses are designed in some run of the mill bodybuilding workshops in TN and elsewhere, some with wooden planks in the aisle base, and seating arrangements totally unscientific and passenger unfriendly; the front seat behind the door is the most dangerous in case of sudden braking, which is extremely common in the pvt buses in DK and surrounding areas! In this particular case the driver seemed to be in too much of a reckless hurry to have not noticed a fully grown up individual getting thrown out of the bus and still not stop it instantly 😭! All in all, pvt buses are a big menace and threat to passengers as well as pedestrian lives; high time these pvt buses are kicked out of service and the government starts its own busses or more such unfortunate and innocent victims will pay with their lives!! These are the perils of staying in highest GDP but third world places where there is no value for human life but humans keep fighting in the names of their favourite Gods and waste precious time and energy!!😞😞🙏🙏

    That's why we always demanding doors in all service buses as well as city buses. Thus door will be double advantage, 1st passengers safety and no one can stand.on the footboard, passengers as well as Conductors. Better administration and RTO must give atleast 15days to install doors in all the buses.

    Please donot blame the driver here. Problem lies in the construction of bus. Close to front door behind driver is there any pole or seat arm to protect the passenger? Front seats side seat they are not safe also they are flat thus little application of break leads to passenger sli forward. Still safety rules are not applied.? I take this opportunity to inform the authorities that i have observed young men getting in from front door. Why? Girls usually occupy space in front.

    This is the second incidence by reckless driving of city bus drivers. A month back one conductor died on the spot at Nanthoor circle. Who will control these rogue drivers ?

    ALL BUSES SHOULD BE FITTED WITH AUTOMATIC / HYDRAULIC DOORS IN ENTRY AND EXIT SIDEIN UDUPI AND D.K. DISTRICTS TO AVOID SUCH ACCIDENTS. HOPE CONCERNED AUTHORITIES OPEN THEIR EYES AND DO THE NEEDFUL.

    RTO should consider this issue seriously and instruct buses to have door (atleast in the front side)
