    Well said Mr. M.Pinto. You can even go near RTO office circle to witness the daredevil driving of buses directly under the nose of Police and RTO. You can also go to Railway Station to see how Autowallahs loot passengers during mid noon.!

    It is useless to comment on this issue, because our RTO is busy with so many things like smartcard, cheap guest at some rich parties, etc,. Our traffic Police are busy achieving their target!!! .So these drivers are playing with the lives of the people. To witness this just go to Jyothi Circle before the signal starts, or go to near Bejai Church gate at around 7.30am-here 2-3 Omni Maruthi Vans carrying school children,play with the lives of these little Children.

    They are not bothered of the Pot Holes, signals or the city speed limits. Only when innocent lives are taken away these Officers and ministers visit the spot and express their concern. But what is the Use??? Dear RTO Sir, wake up and show mercy on these innocent children and the unfortunate passengers.

    This is a serious matter, the authorities should take action immediately, many senior citizens have been injured also, because of the pot holes and the poor condition of the buses.after a bus journey back sprains are common, it has become a bone shattering experience to travel in buses now

    Why has to case be registered against the bus driver? was he the only passenger in the bus? while others could mange it, why couldnt the injured do it? that too he is not a old man, he is a youth of 27. he could have hold the front rod? why dint he do it then? if at all case has to be registered, please do dare to register the case against the officers of Highway Authority Of India, the contractor who has Done that road, the officers who have issued license to these contractors, the one who has checked and approved the roads for usage, etc etc...
