Two passengers were killed and 17 others seriously injured when an express bus heading from Genting Highland towards the city plunged into a 10m-deep ravine along the Karak Highway yesterday. In the 6.30pm incident, the driver of the Genting Express bus crashed into a divider at the 25th kilometer of the highway.
The statement stated that it is believed that the 47-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle, and veered left, in heavy rain. Nowadays bus crashes has become a normal scene and always happen to buses that travel long at highway. I got lots of bad experience with bus traveling, some bus driver are really not friendly and not focus when driving.
They will open up mirror and smoke while driving, this is a bad habit. Some drivers are like to speeding and complain about those who drive slowly in front of them. Government comes out with a statement and advice bus passenger to belt up while on the road. Not a bad idea but I think the most important thing to look into it is driver and also the bus condition because some bus are really old and not maintaining well.
This make me scared of taking bus when going back to my hometown as well. Since flight fares are decrease from day to day I think people will choose flight instead of bus.
