The bus drivers must be in speed limits , a lot of private bus drivers drive rash and
a very sad incident to know on a thrusday morning
Many vehicle owners blaming potholes. But actually if potholes are there, some poeple will try to limit there speed. There are some usless young generations, who wont care potholes. They must die
Bus drivers wont care. For them collection is important
