Blue line buses come to halt
----------------------------
What does CM Shiela Dixit thinks??? Doesn't she know that buses can't walk, run, turn, stop, kill anybody on their own!!! The decision taken by her has absolutely no point.
If a man driving Maruti 800 kills a person on the road, then should manufacturing Maruti cars be stopped???
The similar is the 'blue line buses' case. Stopping the blueline buses to run on the road won't stop accidents by the buses. Actually the point is that its not the Blueline Buses which are killing persons on the road. Those are the bus drivers who are responsible for all the accidents, not the bus. Only the bus drivers drive the bus on road and cause accidents!! If we want to stop or reduce accidents, not the buses should be stopped instead the drivers' license should be cancelled!! There is no point in stopping blueline buses in Delhi. Even if the buses will be stopped, the accidents caused by them won't be stopped.
Miss Shiela Dixit should think about it.....SERIOUSLY!!!
