The team reached a respectable score with Washington Sundar’s half-century innings (50). However, due to the brilliant innings of Virat Kohli, RCB achieved this target easily and registered a spectacular victory by 5 wickets. This is RCB’s second consecutive IPL trophy.

Sleeper Bus Tragedy: A tragic incident took place in Ashoknagar, Madhya Pradesh on Saturday night. Actually, a sleeper bus which was going from Pichhor to Indore with passengers caught fire. It was fortunate that all the passengers were saved. But meanwhile a big question has arisen whether sleeper buses are safe or not. Let us know which countries around the world have already banned sleeper buses.

Countries that ban sleeper buses

China banned the manufacture and registration of new sleeper buses in 2013 after several serious fires and road accidents in 2012. Along with this, in 2006, Germany also banned sleeper coaches after several major accidents. Vietnam and England are also among the countries that have banned sleeper buses. All these countries had banned these buses for the same reason. This was because the design of these buses made it very difficult to evacuate people. Due to which many people lost their lives.

Why is it so difficult to get out of a sleeper bus

Actually, sleeper buses have a lot of berths. Along with this, it is also quite tight. In an emergency, it becomes almost impossible for passengers to move quickly. Along with this, the people sitting on the upper berths have to face more challenges in reaching the exit gate in case of panic.

Not only this, but the interiors of these buses are often made of flammable materials like foam, synthetic fabrics and plastic. These things, combined with the air conditioning circuit, allow a fire to spread within minutes. Along with this, many private bus operators make illegal modifications to the buses. To increase passenger capacity, additional berths are added or emergency doors are sealed. Because of this, there is more delay in rescue work during accidents. Along with this, due to the height and double deck design, sleeper buses are more likely to overturn during a sudden turn or collision.
