I am appalled to see that there is no emergency ambulance service to take this man to hospital. He is on public mercy. What has happened to him later, only God knows.
In India if you have money you can survive or else you have to lead a dogs life.

EVERY BUS DRIVER/ CONDUCTOR WISH TO HELP THE INJURED, CAUSED BY THEIR VEHICLE, BUT YOU KNOW SOME LOCALS TAKE LAW INTO THEIR HANDS- SO THE DRIVERS HAV NO WAY, BUT TO RUN TO SAVE THEIR LIVES. ITS NOT THAT THEY ARE CREATING ACCIDENTS AND RUNNING AWAY INTENTIONALLY.
HERE THE LOCALS ARE EDUCATED I THINK SO.
LET THE DRIVER SURRENDER AND BE HANDED OVER TO POLICE OR SO, BUT TAKING LAW INTO HANDS BY PUBLIC, ASSAULTING THEM- NOT AT ALL ACCEPTABLE.

Mohammed , Bajpe: Do you know how many private buses are involved in accident daily? and you are asking "Why always KSRTC buses are involved in accidents" .. I guess you are not reading news papers daily.

At least we have to appreciate and thankful to Bus Driver and Conductor for shifting this injured person to Hospital unlike other Drivers or Conductors run away from accident scene fearing public wrath. Let us wish “Get well soon” to this injured person

Why No Case was Registered... ??? Were Mangalore cops waiting to see a man Dead instead being Unconscious... I doubt...
