Drivers of double-decker buses need more skills

THE accident involving a double-decker bus, which had its roof ripped off while travelling under a bridge at Jalan Tun H.S. Lee, Kuala Lumpur last Saturday was not the first of its kind that has happened here. And unless new measures are introduced to prevent such incidents, it won’t be the last either.

On July 22, 2016, a double-decker RapidKL bus from the city centre on its way to the Maluri depot got stuck under a bridge near the Jalan Pudu roundabout. Luckily, there were no passengers on board in both incidents.
