KSRTC Volvo Airavat
Negligence

Through this forum I want to bring to notice the gross negligence on the part of KSRTC when it used an unskilled regular bus driver to drive the sophisticated Volvo bus as its Airavat service from Bangalore to Mangalore.

This driver lost control of the bus and hit a stranded truck on the road as a result of which a wooden log entered the bus from the right side and exited from the left, killing atleast 5 passengers and maiming so many.

KSRTC has been very irresponsible in doing this and playing with the citizens lives. They have given a petty Rs.2.5 lakhs as compensation, but what is being done to bring the responsible people to justice.

This is something that can happen to anyone of us. I havent lost anyone I know in that accident, but its really sad.

I want to create an awarenes among people about the need to be aware that a rash driver can endanger lives inside the bus or other road users, The Volvo drivers do overtaking moves that would make racing drivers proud of them.

This is disgusting. KSRTC cannot be spared like this for this mistake.
