    City busses in Mangalore posing a big risk for pedestrians and other commuters. Reckless driving, stopping middle of the road. Any govt who has 1% sense will not allow this to happen. Private city busses must be banned and govt busses introduced in place of it, like in Bangalore

    Well we all know the driving skills of private busses.. and probably the mejority of us have a fair share of near death experience with private bus racing for time in between busstands! I wish the city corporation take adequate measures to make sure busses don't race on the streets! And the Honks! The honks are enough to scare the life's out of people!

    Reckless & Rash driving of City buses and 2 wheelers without looking at side mirror nor giving any indicator taking turn or entering wherever they want without following give way rule and finally saying LOST control or lost sense: behavior that is careless, thoughtless, and unconcerned with potential negative consequences or harm to oneself or others.
