The police department should request the Minister to amend the traffic laws so that the the person who is fault of the accident spend at least 5 years in jail and pay compansation to the victims.

Murder--pure and simple. The majority of these bus drivers are animals.

Every week we read of similar accidents involving buses but they continue to drive like cowboys. The cost to the victims, their families and the health system must be huge.Time to enforce stricter rules like speed limiters, tracking devices and even disallowing them to cross the white lines.

The police have to be consistent ,and stop ALL buses that break the law.....because so few ARE stopped they see themselves above the law..hence all these tragedies
