Red Coffins on Wheels


The private buses of cochin are more and more becoming a menace to the cochinites by their rash driving and lack of concern for the traffic rules. Driven by teenagers or just-passed-teenage drivers(who are actually handpicked by the bus operators for their rush of adrenaline and young impulsive blood) the buses continue to take the lives of countless fellow road travelers.

Its high time for the cochinites to wake up from their callous slumber and put an end to this freewheeling goondaism on the roads and hold a tight rein over these red coffins on wheels. Let their rightful indignation rage high and burn down the nexus between the bus operators and the traffic police.

Stricter law enforcement is the need of the hour or if need be implement new drastic laws that would require the bus operators to employ only those drivers who are over 35 or 40 years of age, which would inevitably tame down the speed and rashness of the private buses and thereby avert the deaths that are awaiting to happen.

  1. Hi George, I enjoyed reading the Red Coffin article. As I pass through these crowded streets watching these Red Coffins moving at great speed recklessly searcing for their next victim, I feel Cochin has the highest per capita Red Coffins per citizen than anywhere in the world. Not to forget their contribution to the high pollution levels in Cochin. Moreover these Red Coffins are owned by goons, mafias, politicians etc inorder to whitewash their black money at the cost of the poor pedestrians'life and liberty which is why the authorities fail to take action against these erring Coffin drivers. The law enforcement authorities, govt, police etc are helpless and one wonders if they are hand in glove with this big Red Coffin Mafia!

  2. Hi George, I enjoyed reading the Red Coffin article.

    As I pass through these crowded, polluted, garbage scattered streets watching these Red Coffins moving at great speed recklessly searching for their next victim, I feel Cochin has the highest per capita of Red Coffins per citizen than anywhere in the world. Not to forget their large contribution to the high pollution levels in Cochin. Moreover these Red Coffins are owned by goons, mafias, politician etc in order to whitewash their black money at the cost of the poor pedestrians’ life, freedom and liberty guaranteed under the Constitution, which is why the authorities fail to take action against these erring Coffin drivers.

    The law enforcement authorities, govt, police etc are helpless; one wonders if they are hand in glove with this big Red Coffin Mafia! The erring Coffin drivers, even if caught, get away, thanks to the lax judicial system and courts in this country. One often wonders “Where is God in this so called God’s Own Country? Probably, he must have been a victim of this as well.
