Why is this on serious /k?
In any case, whether there is element of brake failure or not; driver is still at fault for speeding in the first place. Holding nearly 40 passengers is like you are holding 40 eggs in a basket without any egg holder, and running back to home, hoping that when you reach home all the 40 eggs are still in place.
This wouldn't have happened if the driver is not speeding and just casually crusing at normal speed. The fastest you can cut is just between 3~10mins, it's just not worth it to compensate with everyone's safety.
The responsibilities, risks, and rewards you mentioned reflect a logical truth about priorities.In any case, whether there is element of brake failure or not; driver is still at fault for speeding in the first place.

Choosing to save 3–10 minutes at the cost of potential damage and casualties is an unwise trade-off. Yet, it was too late. Lives were lost, survivors were traumatized, and families were left mourning.
Moving forward, public vehicle drivers need regular awareness workshops. Their attitude and decisions behind the wheel directly determine the fate of the passengers they transport.
Had the driver possessed a greater sense of responsibility, the decision to speed would not have arisen. A responsible person would recognize that the risks far outweigh any potential gain—sane individuals do not gamble with lives or betray the trust placed in them.
To all drivers: if you see a bus or public vehicle behind you attempting to overtake, gently move slightly to the left and allow them to pass safely. A small act of consideration can help prevent reckless overtaking or speeding.
If you realize the vehicle behind may lack comprehension or patience, why insist on being “right”?
Being right in a situation that ends in casualties is no victory.
Being wronged but able to prevent an accident—that’s a true win for society.
In the end, it’s not about ego. It’s about lives.
