Bangalore BMTC Driving Bus Safety Need Help Accident
I am a student and I am looking at BMTC accidents for my project. Can you please help me in knowing about bus accidents or victims or their families who got injured or died in Bus accidents?
Brief about my project- My project is basically seeing the fatal/non-fatal accidents cases which has happened by BMTC buses.
So please let me knwo if you know about any such cases and also tell me your views on this hurtful problem where drivers are ignorant about the life of people.
and any expert in the city with whom i can talk to regarding the bus accident cases.

Richa, wanted to know more about your project - is it analytical in nature? Are you collecting data/stats or only anecdotal 'evidences'. Will compare BMTC's safety record with say city buses in Mangalore, Mysore, or with a larger inter-city bus corporation like KSRTC?
Or is it to highlight the trauma faced by accident victims? Or if BMTC is responsive enough to victims after the accidents?
If you feel like it, you should join hands with BMTC tracking project guys here (Sudheendra, Rithesh, Manjari etc) to produce some solid analytical output!

The only way out would be an RTI exercise, I guess. But, before that, do make a visit to the BMTC central office (check at CTMO's office in Shantinagar complex first - Big Bazaar), and see to what extent they will co-operate.

I was injured in an accident with a parisara vahani in 2006 at CSB junction and have a screw/bolt up my elbow to keep it in place!
Shook me up for sure... I root for trains now and stopped driving a 2 wheeler since :)
