I tried Trust bus once last year and it wasn't a bad experience, other than the fact that some of the stupid passengers had a fight with the driver and the hostess because they didnt let them some inside the bus, and the trust employees were very responsible. We should blame ourselves for this reckless driving, for not caring about the people on the road or respecting any single driving law! We should also blame the government for having such poorly lid, poorly structured roads knowing that they take all these taxes without any return! so it's not about a Bus company, because last year the 780 people who got killed on the road in Jordan were not all riding Trust tours buses.

My sincere condolences to the families of the lost souls and to all Jordanians. What bothers me most is the way Police Force and Civil Defense Department was showing off yesterday on TV mentioning they did this and that, thanking so and so… This is really disgusting in a situation where they should be sorry and show their grief instead of that garbage… May all their souls rest in peace…

Their buses are junk, their drivers are incompetent, their policy with customers is random is unprofessional, they always have incidents and break downs with their buses all the time!! its a travesty! I don't know how people still use them! I don't even know how they are still operating after all these incidents, I suspect If this was the U.S they'd be over their heads with lawsuits left and right! I've boycotted them a long time ago and swore never to use their buses again! Gal "Trust" Gal! they should be called "incompetence" or "Failure" not trust!

Hoping that these, dying in such an awful and tragic way, would finally get it through the heads of crazy bus and truck drivers that their cargo is not bodies, but precious souls who God loves, and to drive accordingly. I have yet to be in a bus on Jordan's roads where I felt the driver was trustworthy adn driving safely. May the God of all peace pour out comfort in grief.

This is really sad and it has been happening for years in Jordan. Everytime I go to Jordan when it's winter I realize how dangerous the road conditions there become. Even though we have much colder weather here and snow and ice is always guaranteed, and rain drops every month of the year, the road conditions are actually better. Because in Jordan, when winter comes, there is too much dirt on the road that hasn't been washed away since the last year, and this makes the surface exceptionally slippery. Also, I noticed that the tire grades that are used in Jordan are not ones with the best wet traction, because people have to go for more affordable choices, and those perform worse under wet driving conditions. This makes it even worse. Jordan's topography doesn't help either, with steep grade roads that increase the chances of losing control. It is really dangerous when it gets wet in Jordan, so please drive carefully for your own safety and the safety of others. May God have mercy on the victims' souls and be with their families. My deepest condolences to them. May God have mercy on their souls and help their families through this time of distress. This is really sad and it has been happening for years in Jordan.

You have a valid point Naseem. No life is worthy than the other--WE ARE ALL WORTHY whether we're from the powerful West Amman, East Amman, Southern Jordan, Northern Jordan, or even any spot on the face of earth! It is quite an exaggeration to think that people in West Amman will demonstrate, advocate, or rally for the implementation of traffic laws triggered by this particular accident that harvested the lives of some 20 people; personal involvement in the tragedy seems the only motivation for people to voice their dissatisfaction. In the meantime, I just hope a voice reaches those in charge about the necessity of reinforcing the-already-existing traffic laws in Jordan(it baffles me why they don't see the necessity of reinforcing the law on their own?), in addition to imposing stricter penalties upon those violators! My deepest condolences to the families of the victims!
