“An accident that will happen even if you don’t wear long padding”… Petition from the bereaved family of’busked’

The bereaved family of a passenger who died from getting caught in the back door of the bus appealed to ensure the safety of public transportation.

Recently, a message was posted on the Blue House National Petition bulletin board saying, “My younger brother who died while being dragged, please stop now.”

Petitioner said he was the family of a passenger in his 20s who died in the accident.

He said, “My younger brother was dragged with clothes stuck in the door of the bus, and was crushed on the rear wheel.”

He stressed that a bus jam can happen anytime, anywhere.

Cheong Won-in said, “Everyone paid attention to the long padding and talked about the dangers of long padding (the thing caught in the bus door), but the sleeves of the clothes,” he said. “I said.

He said that he was trying to find out whether it was his hand, wrist, or sleeves that were caught in the rear door of the bus.

There was also an opinion that the working environment should be improved so that bus drivers can check on and off without time pressure.

At the same time, it was requested to strengthen safety training for bus drivers, improve the getting on and off sensors, secure time when getting on and off, and adjust the dispatch intervals for a safe working environment for bus drivers, and strengthening punishment for bus accidents.

Petitioner said, “If your clothes got stuck and then the door was opened again, your younger brother would have laughed and said,’I had no luck today.’ I said.

The accident happened on the evening of the 19th in Paju, Gyeonggi-do.

The bus driver claimed to have left without knowing that the passenger’s clothes were stuck between the doors.

Citizens say they have had similar experiences with bus doors closing tightly.

Currently, buses have sensors that detect when passengers get on or off.

However, the door will open again only when pressure is applied at least 2.5 cm thick.

If thinner clothes are worn, the door will not open.

If the door is opened with less pressure, an error of opening and closing the door may occur.

In the end, it is necessary for the bus driver to confirm that the passengers have safely disembarked.
