    Many says "request with RTO" This is like Dog chasing the tail,means worthless cause. I went to RTO four times for four different problems and not a single one is solved in 2 years. I am sad that innocent people got hurt,but happy that one less headache on road is gone. That is APM bus.

    Drivers Need Compulsory counselling before providing Licencee from R.T.O, They should undergo everyday visits to Wenlock Hospital and see how people suffer after accident. Patients cry should melt drivers heart to over come negligence, recklessness/Drunk and drive

    Dear Ayes P, KSA. It is easy to comment from afar. Ground reality when one raise voice against a wrong doing no one will come to your aid instead will call you names.

    Human lifes have no values in our twin districts. Private bus operators is a big Mafia.. If any one questions driver / conductor they are so rude and immediately go on strike. If you remember one day in Managlore police were chasing the robbers and are snached a driver out from the bus who was obstructing their chase immediately they gone on strike. We observed at many ocassion these thugs will go on strike. The bus owners association and driver conductors union is strong and thretaning district administartion neither police nor RTO has guts to take action on rackless drivers. The time line set by RTO controlled by bus operators illitrate goondas. How the poor passengers survive with these kind of situation? We could see only comments whenever a accident happens and next day it will remain as it is... If administration start cancelling permits of the busses and withdraw license of the drivers ( who commits serious accident / neglegence ) perhaps this issue can be controlled to some extent. First of all our elected representatives & concerned administrative authorities ( RTO /DC ) should have the will power to address the issue of passengers and other road users.

    "Naayi Baala Donku". This is referring to express bus driver. Agents of God for Death! But sure they will go to hell b'coz they are killing innocent people not by accident, by negligence, reckless and careless driving. Not aware of these passengers loved ones are waiting for them. RTO should take strict action against these careless drivers.finally pray for the quick recovery of injured and not any hope from the RTO.

    Passengers are sleeping while the driver is over speeding the bus ?. I noticed several times passengers are mum and entertaining while drivers are over speeding the bus. It is passengers’ responsibility to raise the finger against the over speeding drivers and alarm them (divers) then only we can avoid such types of accidents. I request with all passengers your or/and our lives in drivers hand while/ during our journey so you or/and we are paying the ticket then driver and/or bus should be under your or/and our control. If he is not in your and/or our control then you and/or we should stop the bus and get down from the bus and should be request for refund of the tickets.

    it is common site in NH 66, Local/express bus drivers thinking that road is meant for them,
    without realizing, the life’s of passengers. Even RTO/local police have no control with
    speeding local bus and drivers behavior.
