Passengers injured in accident

This is the result of speed, one trying to outwit the other, risking the lives of passengers. This is a very common sight on Galle Road. I think it is high time the authorities concerned set a standard of discipline. It should not be like giving uniforms to the bus crew that just faded away within a few months.

Either the driver was drunk, drugged, sleepy or simply careless...or a combination of all 4...this keeps on happening on and on...

Authorities should review the process of issuing driving license, specially for buss drivers, in private busses conductors becomes drivers in a few months. they don't get proper training. In CTB it's not like that.private Buss drivers also should be trained by CTB and issued special license to try busses. Also should define minimum education qualification for buss drivers.

I suppose if action is taken by the Police against the driver the Bus Jokers will go on strike.
