The Kadamba Transport Corporation should ensure the safety and welfare of their passengers by addressing the issue of drunk-driving of its workforce. Drunk-driving amounts to loss of reputation and it is best that no one drinks while on the job. Mandate alcohol checks for drivers before they begin their scheduled shifts at all KTC bus stands in state. The city roads are already notorious for accidents. The tests should be carried out at depots before the buses are handed over to the drivers and conductors at control points, at night accommodations and at designated points where drivers are on night duty. Though it is not easy for the police or the RTOs to check every driver for drunk-driving, the staffs should be assigned to duty only after ensuring they aren't under the influence of alcohol. The government needs to come out with special rules for such drivers. Regular training sessions of drivers and conductors is necessary to ensure best possible services and also to ensure safe transport services.
