Dear Patrick, I was just itching to ask this same question; do the families who lose their beloveds, not only in these last accidents but also the past accidents, recieve some kind of compesation/sympathetic gesture from the bus companies? Unfortunately true, the money does not reverse the situation, but it will reduce some of the expenses that families incur after such a tragidy.
Needless to reiterate, these deaths are uncalled for. I think at this point the bus owners should realize that the importance of educating their staff about safety has become imperative and urgent. As already alluded by many, this is perfect time to step up a notch in asking the bus owners in conjuction with ministry of transportation and public safety to put in place and enforce preventive measures. This is not about the passenges only but also their (drives and conductors) lives too. I also agree with Carol that this forum or West Nilers in general should voice these concerns in the news paper(s). I hope this is an eye opener to the driving public. May the Lord grant them eternal peace.

Sincere condolences to the bereaved families. I am just woneriing whether these bus companies plying the WN routes have comprehensive insurance cover to provide some sort of compensation for the dead and to assist the injurred in case of such accidents. While it does not change the real situation, reasonable compensation would go a lot in assisting those most affected. Could someone close to KKT and Gaagaa please help us with an update.
