Need to know the actual cause first. smile.gif

Most often, the issue lies either the driver or the bus itself, followed by road.

The problem is, unless there is a proper solid measure undertaken to reduce such catastrophes, some people will be scared to go to genting.
The crash barrier on roads are inadequate to prevent buses from falling over due to its short height but then building higher barriers is not the solution, super ugly + costwise.

The best solution would be no busses pass Gotong jaya as the road after gotong jaya is pretty steep and for public transport there is cable car.
I also feel that the red Genting busses are safer, even though the drivers drives fast but you can feel he is well within limits and is experienced.

noob suggestion.

such big barrier will definately kill if not seriously wounded the passenger upon collision. wat is the point of building it if sure die-on-the-spot? heck you might not even come out in one piece

lol, big barrier > small barrier anytime.
