Faced with public wrath after a spree of major accidents involving KSRTC-SWIFT buses from the day the subsidiary agency began to run its fleet of long-distance buses in April, it has been decided to provide specialised training to drivers in defensive driving and during rainy weather.
Two drivers had been dismissed from service after the buses they drove were involved in accidents at Thiruvananthapuram and Malappuram, within hours of the service of the new buses being launched.
