It is more fun criticizing

It is indeed sad that it is just 9 days before Christmas and 22 people died in a very bizarre accident  which again involved Don Mariano bus.  I rode on that bus last Monday from Estrella to EDSA crossing.  In front of EDSA Central, a Don Mariano bus rear ended another bus causing massive traffic jam.  My experience with that bus ride was hair raising.   It was as if there were no other vehicles on the road. 

The bus fell off on closed van and the rescuers had difficult time extracting the injured. The bus was on its way to Pacita complex.

The accident paralyzed the traffic in the area.

A suspension order will be served, effective for 30 days for 3 of the 78 buses of Don Mariano

What the traffic enforcers doing to enforce traffic rules?  Maybe they turn the other way around as Don Mariano bus violates the speed limit, safe driving because..... (Guess....)

If the traffic enforcers were faithful doing their job, would this have happened?

Was the driver drunk or high on drugs, or simply reckless?
