Its really sad. But i think, other than educating the drivers, better designed buses are the need of the hour.
A very crude comparison I took consists of a touring bus, a city bus and another city bus. You can see, the number of blind spots on the indian city buses as the predominantly glass facade is replaced with metal.
Also, the international city buses have their drivers at much lower positions.
Driver education, and better understanding of road and traffic conditions and rules are a must. Its painful to loose a child, esp for no fault of theirs.
Hope the family gets out of this patch easily. May her soul rest in peace.
PS: I have used images as demonstration only - it is not intended to point fingers at any particular vehicle manufacturer.
