Skeptical response to bus law enforcement claims

Parents reacted with skepticism to claims by the transport authority (ATTT) that rules governing the country’s 5000 school buses will be rigorously enforced during the upcoming school year. 

 César Zapata, Director of Service and Vehicle Control said the buses must pass two visual inspections by the ATTT – one every six months, in addition to the annual inspection that all vehicles must undergo.
"We will make sure that none of these vehicles have tinted windows or sound equipment” he said, and authorities will also verify that the bus drivers have the proper documentation and a full insurance policy.
Aixa Gómez, president of the parents association, said the ATTT usually “Enforce the rules during the first few days of classes, and then forget about them." She called for an honest and active supervision program
“The authorities and bus owners should ensure that the buses are driven in a responsible and orderly fashion that ensures the safety of the students aboard.” She said. “After all, that is the service that parents are paying for.”
The school buses will contain a contingent of refurbished diablos rojos that had been turned into the government in return for compensation for the owners as a new metro transport system is formulated.
The diablos rojos have a notorious record of killing and injuring passengers, other road users and pedestrials, and many drivers have been found without licenses, with unpaid fines or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
After major accidents like the one in which 18 passengers were incinerated, there is a flurry of spot checks, until the public outcry dies down.
