    Please don't allow bus drivers below 40 years age to drive the buses. Now a days, all the bus drivers are aged 19-30 years. When they sit in the bus, they think they are flying BOEING OR AIRBUS.You ask them how you got license, through agent is the answer. Lastly, suffers are the poor passengers who maybe the bread winners of the family. we pray that all the injured get well soon.

    Very sad news. RIP to cleaner.
    Highways in Kerala seems like hanging bridges. No solution except four lane. Politicians are busy escaping from scams and scandals. People of Kerala should stand strong against this ignorance and fight till success.

    First of all the Kerala Government should take immediate steps to widen the highway.... they are so narrow that it is very dangerous for driving adding to it its rainy season... without widening the roads to four lane there cannot be any control on the accidents... Highways throughout are being improved only Kerala remains backward in this matter ... We cannot keep pointing out the lorry driver, bus driver or car driver... first thing is to make the road safer to drive...

    THE POSITION OF THE ACCIDENT SHOWS THE BUS DRIVER ON THE WRONG SIDE. I REQUEST GENERAL PUBLIC PLEASE COME FORWARD TO TEACH THE LESSON TO THE BUS DRIVERS ON VERY SIMPLE MANNER, THAT PLEASE ASK WITH BUS DRIVER TO STOP THE BUS IF HE IS ON OVER SPEED AND GET DOWN FROM THE BUS AND LODGE A COMPLAINT NEAREST POLICE STATION. BUT OUR PEOPLE WILL NOT DO THIS EXERCISE, TILL SUCH TIME THIS KIND OF NEGLIGENCE DRIVING WILL TAKE PLACE AND THE FAMILY WILL LOOSE FATHER, MOTHER, DAUGHTER , SON ETC - ETC.
