Let me convince you to make this a thesis.
Six buses. On a national highway. Racing like they were in a video game. The video went viral. Not because it was funny. But because it was terrifying. These weren’t sports cars. These were public buses. Filled with lives. Families. Kids. Workers. All entrusted to the care of drivers who decided to gamble with their safety. The bus company said sorry. The government said, “Apology not accepted.”
The real issue? We keep reacting to danger after it happens. We let reckless behavior slide if nobody dies. We wait for a tragedy before asking the hard questions. This mindset is deadly. And it's rooted in a system that values convenience over accountability. Transportation isn’t just about routes. It’s about responsibility. And too many forget that behind every wheel is a life-or-death decision.

You’re guessing your way through something that decides your graduation
And let’s be real — you’ve already:
❌ Tried making titles from scratch
❌ Watched “How to Write a Thesis Title” TikToks
❌ Copy-pasted topics from other people's thesis (ooops?)
Still stuck? Exactly.
