    Being a listed professionally run entity it was their duty to reveal details of injured passengers at the earliest!!

    In these times of computerized bookings such sloppiness on their part shows how much they value their passengers n human life!!

    Long journey vehicles always ply with high speeds with experienced drivers and also seen very rare case of major incidents !!!Maybe the driver misjudged the curve with high speed and it's sudden brake ...need an extra care!!!

    Can’t be overworked. Normally Mumbai – Mangaluru buses have 2 drivers. Here he was overtaking another vehicle. So it’s a case of overspeed, not overwork.

    Once u cross Maharashtra border roads r verb treacherous n dicey to drive on, only well experienced drivers can drive at such high speeds, a small error n everything is over!

    I DOUBT WHETHER THESE OPERATORS HAVE INSURANCE FOR THE DECEASED/INJURED, WHICH SHOULD BE MADE COMPULSORY BY THE GOVT.!!

    Jossey, I think the police are watching the movie that usually would be played during Mangalore-Mumbai journeys.

    for someones mistake some one else is paying for. I see these Volvo buses are driven so rashly. Always think if these drivers are really trained to drive such high end busses. If they are not, this is what going to happen... in such a speed and emergency turn to be taken... end up with such disaster. Very sad incident. but a lesson for others.
