Toll, toil and trouble.
Today headline in one of the newspaper. After 10 death in the 26th. Dec 2009 road accident the paper start to spin stories on the causes. It suggested low salary of the bus driver could be one of them as it could forced them to work overtime in order to make end meet. One guy even blamed the strong divider. In the Kota Baru shopping mall incident somebody put the blame on weaker wall.
Even if you pay these bus diver the like of pilot salary, there is no guarantee that there will not be accident. So please do not speculate but go to the root cause if we want to reduce bus accident. People sleep on the job because they do not have enough sleep in the first place. There could be 1001 reasons what rob them from their precious sleep. We should not be interested in that. The driver must be discipline enough to have enough rest before taking on the road. No regulation or enforcement can ensure this except the driver himself.
