Hope their soul rest in peace and I wish god to give courage to their family to sustain the loss . Hope whoever is injured gets well soon.

  2. These bus drivers have become very negligent and rash drivers these days. Recently I lost one of my close friend Prasad to a similar KSRTC bus accident for no mistake of him who was standing at the road side and the bus just came and hit him and he is no more. I am just not able to come over it.

  3. ARE THE K.S R TC BUS DRIVERS EMULATING THE BLUE LINE BUSES OF NEW DELHI.?. THE BLUE LINE BUSES WERE NOTORIOUS FOR KILLING AT LEAST TWO PERSONS EVERY DAY ,SINCE THESE DRIVERS PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE A PROPER DRIVING LICENCE. MANY DELHIITES SAY THESE BUS DRIVERS DID NOT HAVE PROPER VISION . THE BLUE LINES BUSES OPERATED EVEN AFTER CAUSING COLOSSAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF POLITICAL SUPPORT. THE BLUE LINE BUSES ENJOYED. : ))))))))))

  4. Terrific accident. Innocent people got KILLED! Ridiculous drivers.

    Majority of Govt. Bus drivers are negligent. An annual Medical and Driving test has to be made mandatory for Public transport drivers irrespective of which State.
