Automotive maintenance and regulation
Reduced consumer confidence in intercity bus travel; potential fare increases due to insurance costs and safety upgrades; households affected by loss of income earners; increased healthcare costs for injured passengers and families.
Likely regulatory responses include stricter vehicle inspection standards, capacity limits enforcement, driver certification requirements, mandatory safety equipment, and improved road infrastructure maintenance. Government may implement bus fleet modernization programs and establish stricter penalties for overcrowding.
