The trouble is, peoples livelihoods are at stake, and before this, or any similar investigation comes to any sensible conclusion, brown envelopes will be served, and the incident will be forgotten until the next time.

Although the design of the double decker buses is inherently flawed, the biggest problem are the drivers who want to exceed the buses safety limits, which results in the regular fatalities that we read about.

As BB has said, it’s news today but after time and a few brown envelopes, it’ll almost certainly be business as usual.

I prefer to call a spade a spade and we can blame everything from bad brakes to crazy drivers but when it comes down to it, road safety depends on the government's efforts to improve it and stop the madness on the roads. And as long as the government don't value ​​its people and"voters" more than they do here, then that speaks for itself.
