Mini Buses Start To Fix TVs And DVDs

Previously various people had TVs and DVDs installed in their cars and they were entertained, watching videos or songs during their journey. The trend to install TVs and DVDs has further started to take place in coaches and mini buses. Various buses running on various roads in Karachi are found providing entertainment to commuters these days.

Recently I happened to travel in the same buses other days. As I got on the buses and held seats, the loud music started and I saw that a TV along with DVD was installed beside the drivers’ seats whereas women were sitting near the TVs in the buses. The condemnable thing I found in all the buses was that the immoral video songs were played on the DVDs whereas various commuters were sitting and few were standing in women’s compartment. The women were totally ashamed sitting in the compartment and men were enjoying the immoral video songs.

On the other hand, the drivers of the mini buses were driving fast that could cause severe mishaps and the results of the mishaps could be in the shape of loss of lives and severe injuries as drivers were enjoying the songs as well. The situation compelled me to think who permitted the owners of the buses to have TVs and DVDs installed in their buses and who asked them to provide entertainment to the commuters? Previously many accidents have taken place in the country due to tap recorders and resultantly, the use of tap recorders in the buses was restricted and those who were found using the tap recorders were charged fine. But now, not only tap recorders but also TVs and DVDs are being embellished in the buses and this is a very critical situation according to me.

Apart from this, the mini buses are already in dilapidated condition and the government officials allow the owners of the buses to run their buses but the owners of the buses pay bribe to the officials so that their buses could be allowed to run on the roads. In addition, the conductors of the buses fill more people than the space available in the buses owing to which accidents are getting usual and people are losing their lives.

In this regard, the government should seriously and strictly take immediate and stern action against those who are involved in permitting old and ruined buses to run. Besides, the TVs and DVDs be removed from the buses taking precautionary measures in view of any mishaps.
