    The city police are only after bike riders not wearing a helmet. If so concerned why don't they control speed of the buses? Do they have a share in bus profits? Why are people quiete.

    OVER SPEEDING, PARALLEL PARKING and STOPPING VEHICLES ANYWHERE on the roads are common offences committed by bus drivers. The solution to this gnawing problem perhaps may be fitting speed governors.

    In the present instance the police will determine the cause of death of the pedestrian and take up the case in court.

    Private buses are always racing with rival company buses in order to earn more collection. That must stop but how ? Best way to cancel the driving licence of the driver who drives wrecklessly and found to be guilty and responsible for the death of a passerby.

    Has anyone seen the way the buses overtake at Kullur. The overtake at high speed on the right side & then cut the vehicle to the left at the bus stop. As the bus drivers know that there is a bus stop there & they need to stop, why do they overtake another vehicle. This has happened to me many a time & only by braking hard do we manage not to have an accident with them. The traffic police in the meantime are sitting under the tree near the bridge & look the other way.
    Please discuss this at the next Friday's meeting with the commissioner. Hopefully his "maan ki baath" will penalize the bus drivers.

    Unfortunate incident indeed and the driver to be put behind the bars if he had hit the innocent pedestrian walking on the right side.

    I think it is better to pay 20 Lacks. Because 15 Lacks means people will think that you are insulting our PM who has not kept his promise.

    Didn't you read properly? Bus was in a hurry to overtake the other vehicle. Please note that many a times, these buses, Two wheelers ply on the footpath leaving not an inch space for the pedestrian to walk. Vehicles are in more hurry than those travel by vehicles.
