    Introduction of Government rural transport is the best solution to end the monopoly and road rage .

    In India nearly 5 lakh deaths due to road accidents. Only grieving families remain to be cautious after they lose loved ones. Rest of India goes to normal as if nothing happened.

    India need to rewrite its 'transport safety'.

    Hope God give the patience to bear the loss of loved ones.

    Accidents like these are ever on the increase. Whereas the actual cause of the accident has yet to be established, it is common knowledge that drivers of buses over-speed. It was suggested earlier that these buses should be fitted with speed governors. Hope this idea takes a shape so that precious lives can be saved.

    Its the bikers fault which resulted the accident. Bus driver tried maximum to avoid, if fact he avoided front tyres but unfortunately couldn't avoid the rear. No doubt buses nowadays are very rash, especially the new marco polo buses, they are driven at high speeds, god knows how they manipulate speed gorvonor & these buses are not supposed to go more than 70 kmph, but run at 100kmpl.

    Local people of the area should protest and ask for JNURM buses in the area. Ban these private buses.
