BUS accident again

[boy_tino]

This is evil. Same as killing a pedestrian is better than just maiming daw. P12T lang ang babayaran? These people should be brought to court and pay more, even jail time and not allowed to drive anymore.

yeah very evil, kung minsan bus company rin mismo ang nagtuturo na kapag may nadale silang pedestrian o tao tumatawid kung kayang sagasaan sasagasaan nila paano katuwiran nila isang bayaran na lang.

kaya dapat sa mga ganito ay sila mismo ang sagasaan

Just wondering bakit yong mga small time bus companies ang na-iinvolved sa mga bus accidents. Pero yong mga Big Names like Victory, Partas, etc eh wala naman major accidents so far for the last few years.

Makes me think on how they hire drivers in their pool.

updated news as of Aug 24, 2009:

8 dead, 41 injured in Lucena City when 2 buses collided . . .

15 injured in another bus accident in EDSA . . .

Claire dela Fuente napikon sa media, wag daw i-highlight ang mga accidents involving buses. Sineseryoso daw nila ang bagay na ito.

Napaka-iresponsable ng statement na iyon ng kanilang presidenteng si Ms. dela Fuente....

Dapat lang na alalahanin niya kung saan siya nanggaling para niya maunawaan ang kalagayan ng mga taong sumasakay sa pampublikong sasakyan.....

She's always been a biased female dog that keeps on playing the victim card whenever these accidents happen. What's to be expected of her anyways? All she ever did was put a face to be recognized and focused on by people who think bus drivers are the spawn of satan.

saw a news sa tv kanina, pinulong daw ng ltfrb ang mga bus operators about this alarming bus killings,
sadly nagkasundo lang na dapat daw magtake ng "neuro" at "drug testing" mga drivers na i-hihire nila.
what a solution...

Kita ko yan yesterday mga 6:15 AM ng maaga. Hmm, at first akala ko nalaglag yung fort but upon seeing the barriers above, wala naman damage.

Naclear lang up ang aking mind nuong sinabi ng media what is the cause of the accident, pero one thing i cant remove from my mind.

" The fortuner is facing the other way, If the impact could`ve been bad, why did the fortuner suffer a fallen grill and a bumper only? "

Ewan ko, I just cant picture the accident

Anddd.....I was on the other side of the road pala pero traffic pa rin, dami kasi nang-uusyoso

After seeing this from the news, nagtaka rin ako kung bakit ganun ang pwesto ng Fortuner...

ayon sa storya ng mga binangga, 3 silang sunod-sunod..ist in line yung taxi na all white, gitna yung Fortuner, then pinakahuli yung taxi with blue line.

sobrang lakas ng salpok sa likod ng taxi with blue..at since mababa sya..pimasok yun bumper nya sa ilalim ng rear ng Fortuner, na sakyod or parang pinala (shovel) yung fontuner mula sa ilalim kaya naging ganun ang kinalabasan.

And assumed it this way too.. blu76

pwede itong solution na ito ... hindi lang sa driver ... isama na rin yung mga may-ari ... baka sabog din sila sa pagpili ng driver ng mga bus nila...

Among these northbound provincial buses, Victory, Partas, Genesis, Saulog, Dagupan, Viron, Maria DeLeon, Farinas, et cetera... Farinas Transit has the 'safest' fleet and Victory Liner as the opposite (maybe because they have the most number of units). Farinas Trans always employ 2 drivers per bus per trip to Ilocos, resulting in 6 to 8 hrs work by its drivers.
However, they also have the longest time on the road...

Also, provincial buses rarely scamper for passengers along the main Manila thoroughfares since they are normally packed when they leave their terminals. They can still be a bit of pain though since they normally drive outside of the yellow lanes, but I personally rarely had to give them a honk along EDSA.

The city buses are the ones that give me the most headaches during my day-to-day driving.

Obviously walang kwentang solution ang magagawa nila. Kasi these bus operators have connections higher up, especially now na palapit na election time and politicians are already starting up ask them for protection money.
