According to the Union Transport Ministry, although buses constitute only

of road accidents and 13% deaths. Around 85,000 people die every year
THE INDIAN TOLL
from road accidents in India and the social cost of all this is a staggering
8 55,000 crores. In India, as in Asia
, the driver is the main culprit - 78%
of accidents are attributed to the driver's fault. And although there are
programmes for teaching road safety, only a very few drivers attend it
Indeed, Dr. Sanjay K. Singh of IIT, Kanpur and a transport subject expert
argues that bus safety in India will not improve unless drivers are better
off economically, and not overworked. In addition, he says, road infrastructure
must improve with special lanes for cyclists and handcarts, and proper
footpaths for pedestrians.
