Here every one had a mistake. No one not ready to take their responsibility. So we no need to blame any one. The only one solution to stop the accident the government would install radar to every 5KM gap on each corner of the raod with camera (as it is in Saudi Arabia) with maximum speed of 40K.M. per hour. If they crosses this speed they will be penalty of Rs.200/- minimum. If this is done definitely accident will slow down soon and every rider will be safe. But government will cost more once.

Think this traffic department to install and fix the device in every corner of the road.

Road Accident is a serious issue. Daily hundreds killed because of it in India. But unfortunately nobody ( both govt and public) doesn't take this matter seriously..

why we should have a car which has speed of more than 80km per hour. Better late than never...

Oh Gov't.., do something for the sake of innocents life which you can.....

Inna LIllahi Wa Inna Ilahi Rajoon!

Motor bike is not at all good for mangalore roads....it is a kind of death trap...traffic is increasing day by day...no space for small vehicles to move around...at the same time big truck entering from nowhere...overall this kind of accidents are invited every now and then...so tragic...we need to ban motor bikes...most of young boys and couples are getting killed...so sad...

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

•    Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

•    State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

•    Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
