    Total failure of our Traffic department , RTO and Administration. Worst day by day. In Mangalore they totally failed to shieft the service bus stand since more than 25 years. What we can expect from them.???? At the cost of the public and passengers I think they are playing.

    Vishal Bus Drivers are very arrogant and always overspeeding. Our traffic police are spine less. Just waiting for bribe . God only saved the 40 passengers

    I can find two issues here. 1. Arrogant driver need to be punished. If bus moved to another side of road, things would have been worst. 2. Bad design of divider. It should be least 1-2 feet height.

    Speed breakers on National Highway makes no sense. Speed governors for buses is the way to go. Limit the speed to 60/kms per hour.

    This Vishal Travels bus driver was negligent if he lost control and climbed a divider endangering all the 40 passengers life. The driver should have been arrested and booked for over speeding and negligent driving and endangering passenger lives. The Driver should be tried and penalized and the company to pay for the damage and repairs work of the Divider. The Highway Patrol is a useless authority of the Transport or Traffic Dept. They are all hands in gloves with these Private Bus Operators and their Union, and do not do anything that is stipulated in the law. Most of these private buses over speed at all times, It is very dangerous and hazardous to travel in any of these Udupi Mangalore route Express Buses. However, KSRTC has raised the price of the ticket so high on the red AC buses, most cannot afford their high fare.

    Ridiculous must ban the private bus mafia and once we have the government bus service the roads will be 1000% safe to travel in the twin districts.
