    Private buses in this so called Smart City pose serious death threats for passengers, as well as other vehicles and even pedestrians! Their permits should be cancelled for every single violation of RTO rules; until then they will not improve!

    Every time a bus is caught for rash and dangerous or risking passenger safety in private buses in the city, authorities put a case for name’s sake, make some statements, and then everything goes back to normal. How many more accidents and near-misses will it take before there is real enforcement? If the administration cannot control public saftey on city roads, then what exactly are citizens supposed to expect? Cases on paper and no action on the ground are nothing but fooling the public. there need sto be a strict enforcement, accountability, and permanent action not temporary drama after every incident.
