Crackdown on Bluelines

Five days after on 11 year old boy died under the wheels of one of the Blueline buses, the Delhi governement (Mrs Dikshit..... this name I would try to get it changed because in the combination of Dutch and English it is not a real nice family name) has decided to put an end to the terror of the buses. The move cpmes after the outcry of seveal casualities provoked by buses. Till july 2 2007 the killer fleet has caused already 59 fatal accidents, while the figure was 45 for the corresponding period in 2006 And only now the police started reacting and 2000 Blueline drivers have been prosecuted for trafic offences in the last 2 days.
It is difficult to understand why now these buses should be eliminated. In NDTV with hidden camera, observing one driver, without showing his licence and his name , he took up a racr with 3 other buses, did not stop at bus stops because of the risk of losing the race. After this fun he started talking on his mobile phone during driving. All this can be omitted by simple disiplinarry mesaures and there is no need to eliminate the bus operation. What is worse and what is in direct responsabilty of this irresponsable governement is the deplorable status of the buses and there is one attitude and this is typical for India in total, the bus never stop on the bus stop but more or less in the middle of the street, provoking that the passengers standing in the middle of the street and all the trafic has to go around it. I had already 2 nearly accidents with my bicycle trying to curve around these jams. Also here simple discipline measures would help a lot.
The pictures shows the sad condition of the buses, most of the pictures come from the buses in Pune , but in Delhi the situation is not better and Gurgaon , they dont have this problem because of the lack of public transport.... made Delhi is looking for this solution.
