Rajpriya: Blaming the MTC drivers is only part of the story. The news correspondent who wrote that piece had not done his(her?) homework. All (s)he has to do is to watch the way school- and college-going students ride these buses everyday. Sometimes these students are all standing on the foot-board, making the bus lean dangerously to one side, scaring observers about when the next serious accident is going to happen. The conductors and drivers are totally helpless - but where does the blame lie? Hope Christin Mathew Philip who wrote that Times of India piece read this Chennai Forum posting and go back to rehash his(her) article. Incidentally, if each Forum member who views this posting would only take the trouble of submitting a quick reply with the word 'Amen', I think the MTC authorities may wake up from their slumber.
