Ensuring passenger safety therefore requires continuous attention to vehicle maintenance, driver training, working hours and road conditions.
Need for Stronger Safety Measures
Road accidents cannot always be completely prevented, but several measures can help reduce their frequency and severity.
Regular vehicle inspections, driver training, speed monitoring and identification of accident-prone road sections can all contribute to safer public transport.
Emergency response systems are equally important because timely medical assistance can reduce the impact of serious injuries.
