This is a terrible incident. Unfortunately, this is not the first time accident happens on express bus too.

I hope one day, we can take train and arrive at a destination with reasonable time in future.

Ya, train.
I can expect that when my parents see the news, they'll ask me to take KTM rather than bus in future.

If everything is 60 km/h, might as well drive on federal road.

The serious consequence of your idea...

Max speed 60 km/h, average speed most likely 45 km/h for example...

That would mean KL to JB (around 320 km lets say)....  will take about 7 hours!
*
It'll have no difference from taking train. KTM takes 7 hours as well brows.gif

If double tracking to Johor completes, it will take around 3 hours to JB.
*
Scheduled completion in 2021, and there's no guarantee.
I do hope so (envy of those Ipoh mali who travel 2.5 hrs to KL using train), but not really that optimistic.


QUOTE(Maxieos @ Oct 11 2010, 04:06 PM)
I think the best way to reduce bus driver to speed is -
Salary payment by min
Example : Destination A to B = 2 hours with max 110km

Payment is = 2 hours trip Destination A to B = Rm 80
Payment is = 3 hours trip same Destination A to B = Rm 150
Payment is = 4 hours trip same Destination A to B = Rm 250

Sure those bus driver will driver extremely slow 50km because of it .
*
They might drive the slowest possible speed to get the highest possible salary ... ohmy.gif

talk talk no use la..when harga naik sikit2 blame govt bila xcdent like this happen then who to blame?

I won't object any increment, given that there's convincing proof showing our money don't simply masuk someone's pocket instead.

RIP to them except the one who caused the accident.

QUOTE(inachi @ Oct 11 2010, 09:47 PM)
just now the news said this driver having a good performance in these 17years driving experience and so far only got 1 saman..
*
According to news, investigation would be made from the aspect of mechanical failure, since the driver had no bad records.
Some passangers said that the bus was speeding. The question is, how much km/h is it during "speeding"?


QUOTE(phantomkid @ Oct 11 2010, 09:09 PM)
I've got news about one of the victims today.

Currently that victim is in ICU, he's a friend of my friend. kTAR student, according to my classmate (victim's friend), he was heading back to KL from Melaka (or something) and it happened.

Paralyzed from waist down. And is in a very critical state. Not joking.

Paralyzed? Saddening ... Hope he stay strong to overcome the difficulty.

Heard of another similar case (in April, if not mistaken).
Uni student involved in accident (also bus), and was in coma due to brain injury for a long time. Furtunately, he came around with speedy recovery.
Youths have the advantage in physical recovery. Hope the best come to him.
