"Tragic Bus Accidents in India Spark Safety Concerns and Investigation"
The recent Buldhana bus accident, which claimed the lives of 25 people, has reignited the debate over the safety of sleeper buses. Experts and designers have criticized their design flaws, such as difficulties in evacuation and reaching emergency exits. Some have even called for a ban on sleeper buses, describing them as "moving coffins." The high ceilings and limited space for movement make it challenging for passengers to escape in case of an accident, while rescuers also face difficulties in reaching and extracting passengers.
