    We don't know how to drive in rainy days and we do not care too much others ? Now accidents are increasing and we do nothing about it ..put some strict rules and penalties..How many people die monthly or annually? How many injuries? Why we don't care about this high level of accidents? minister of Transport must resign if he can't do his job

    This is the best way to attract the high end tourist. They put so little value on their lives.

    The licences of these bus drivers who drive carelessly should be cancelled and their owners route permits also should be cancelled.
