Bus Brake Failure Sparks Safety Concerns on Ghat Road

A terrifying incident unfolded on the treacherous Kuttiyadi ghat section yesterday when an overloaded Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus, reportedly carrying over 100 passengers, experienced brake failure. The bus was navigating the steep and winding ghat road when its brakes gave out, sending a wave of panic among the passengers.

Close Call on Kuttiyadi Ghat

Eyewitnesses described a harrowing few minutes as the bus lurched precariously, with the driver desperately trying to regain control. Miraculously, the driver managed to avert a major accident, bringing the bus to a safe stop without any casualties. The incident, however, has once again highlighted the persistent issue of overcrowding on KSRTC buses, particularly on routes serving the ghat section. Passengers attributed the severe overcrowding to the limited number of private bus services operating in the region and the often inadequate KSRTC bus schedules. Many were seen crammed into the aisle and even standing, a dangerous practice exacerbated by the challenging terrain.

Passengers Demand Action

Commuters and KSRTC staff alike have voiced their concerns, calling for immediate measures to address the recurring problem of overloaded buses. They are urging transport authorities to increase the number of KSRTC services on this route and ensure that more buses are deployed to meet the passenger demand. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers posed by overloaded vehicles on hilly routes, where brake failures can have catastrophic consequences. Authorities are expected to conduct an inquiry into the incident and review the existing scheduling and deployment of KSRTC buses to enhance passenger safety on the Kuttiyadi ghat and surrounding areas.
