Mumbai Kurla Bus Accident: Brake failure, lack of training, or intentional? What caused the deadly accident claiming 7 lives
Kural Bus Accident: Investigation rules out brake failure
Following an inspection, the Wadala Regional Transport Office (RTO) dismissed brake failure as the cause of the accident. According to Bharat Jadhav, motor vehicle inspector leading the investigation, the bus’s brakes and other critical systems, including headlights, were found to be functioning normally.
“When the RTO team inspected the bus, it found its brakes were working fine,” an unnamed RTO official told PTI. Further details from Olectra and BEST have been requested before finalizing the report.
Mumbai BEST bus accident: Inexperience cited as possible cause
The bus driver, Sanjay More, aged 54, was arrested shortly after the accident. Preliminary findings suggest his lack of experience with automatic transmission electric buses may have contributed to the crash. Unlike manual buses with clutch and gear systems, the 12-meter-long electric bus uses an automatic transmission, which can affect a driver’s judgment of acceleration and braking.
“If a driver doesn’t have experience driving an automatic transmission bus, he doesn’t get proper judgment of acceleration and braking initially. Hence, it seems human error may have caused the accident,” the RTO official added.
