Govt should introduce proper mechanism for school transport. Most of the other countries using buses instead of vans. Buses will have more secure environment than vans. Also should have different colour for school buses to identify from far. Example Yellow with black letters. Also introduce a speed limit especially for school transport. I hope those few things will add big value to this. Also parents should be careful while choosing transport for their kids. Our kids are in danger.
ohhhh very sad…
