    Very Sad news. Heartfelt condolences to the family! But this is not something new RESHMA BUSES, THEY are always in hurry and always over speeding. I myself have encountered an accident with their busses. if they hit or get involved in any accident, I, WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER OR CONDUCTER first says " do what you want, PUT THE CASE, Lets see in COURT.! I GUESS They have been trained to say/TALK like that. A STRICT ACTION MUST BE TAKEN HERE.

    Many of the newly constructed bus stops in Mangalore have encroached the foot paths and the buses stop on the road . Areas designated for bus stops are used as ambulance parking. Sad state of our smart City , menace of private buses is totally ignored by the police at the same time they fine people for silly reasons but turn a blind eye to these rogue and rash drivers.

    Abolish the private bus lobby in the twin districts. Then we will not see any overtaking or racing of buses on our roads. Why should yong lives be sacrificed for the greed of collection?

    The road is very narrow, the bus driver is aware of it, still he is trying to overtake. The express busses on this route are driven recklessly. The drivers license must be revoked and must be charged with murder...
