LTA now talking with bus company involved with students hanging out of bus windows

The Land Transport Authority is now talking to the bus company that was involved in an incident this morning which showed blatant disregard for road rules and safety of passengers.

This comes as serious concerns were raised about an incident where some students from a school in Tailevu were seen hanging out of the windows of a moving bus and at the same time taking selfies and cheering on.

In a video sent to Fijivillage, it was noticed that three buses from the same company with students, made three rounds around a roundabout in Nausori before continuing its journey.

LTA has stressed that it is the responsibility of drivers to ensure that they drive safely and be mindful of passenger safety and other road users on the road.

It has also highlighted that it is the responsibility of teachers and parents to ensure children's safety on the road during school hours and school sporting events.

LTA says they should also remind children about road safety and the consequences which can result in serious injuries and even death.

The School Principal earlier confirmed that teachers were present onboard the buses with their students adding that this is not a big issue.
