  1. Traffic Police must look for conduct of and over-speeding by these bus drivers. There should be a RTSA toll free phone line to report some bus drivers’ treatment of passengers

  2. Cheap is expensive,lets stop buying second hand tyres, i suggest government should reduce duty so that people can afford to buy new tyres for their vehicles to reduce risks of having tyrebursts.
