A large number of comments focused on road design. Some users questioned why a bus stopped so close to a junction, saying this blocked visibility and increased risk. Many suggested bus stops should be located at least 100 feet after a crossing to prevent such incidents.
Others highlighted broader infrastructure issues, including lack of speed breakers, poor planning of bus stops at three-road or four-road junctions, and weak traffic enforcement. Some also criticised careless driving habits and lack of road safety awareness.
Calls for stricter safety practices
Road safety observers emphasised simple preventive steps: slow down near intersections, never overtake at crossings, always wear a helmet, and ensure a full view of traffic before crossing. Many users said such crashes are common and happen due to hurry and negligence.
Some also urged authorities to review junction safety, relocate bus stops away from crossings, and improve driver training and public awareness to prevent similar tragedies.
The viral footage continues to circulate widely, serving as a stark reminder of how quickly a small mistake on the road can turn fatal.
