How many more children need to die before the police start enforcing road rules for buses? Even the Colombo Kurunduwatta police turns a blind eye when 138 buses race each other near the many schools in that area!

Ruwan, sadly a vast number of private busses are owned by top cops and politicians. In some cases, fleets of them.
