    It's all "mamuli"Maya....just see the record and see if any bus has been fined by our cops for traffic violation?They are above law & in this case I bet , even before the dead Is cremated the bus brake inspection will be done by rto sitting inside his office & the bus has been released.

    Hi

    Sad Story ! We as pedestrians need to learn few basic tips while using any road
    1) Walk on the foot path (if available/ where ever possible) -facing traffic. i.e walk on RHS of the road
    2) Don't cross roads recklessly
    3) Be attentive all the times on the road

    We are responsible for our own safety

    Cases of recklessness driving are on the increase and mostly public transport vehicles are carelessly handled by the divers.

    It expedient that public transport vehicles are fitted with speed governors to control the speeds

    Only solution, convert these buses to government buses. Employ the same people (if you don't want them to lose jobs) But sadly do you know the truth? It ain't gonna happen, because private bus lobby is too strong. Police cant touch them unfortunately.
