RIDERS' SAFETY * Malaysia - Stronger roof may save lives
Putrajaya,Persekutuan,Malaysia -The New Straits Times -13 Dec 2008: -- Bus companies must understand that passenger safety is good business practice, and a joint responsibility with the government.Road Transport Department director-general Datuk Solah Mat Hassan said the transport industry must see that "companies that invest in public transport safety make more money"... He said the preliminary investigation into the express bus crash near Tangkak showed the greatest damage came from the roof, which could not stand the impact of the crash... The Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research had proposed that all new buses, especially express buses, should be fitted with the R66 type of roof which could better withstand the impact of crash... While the cost was 25 to 30 per cent higher than conventional bus roofs, the safety of passengers justified it... (Photo: my malaysia books)
