It's very sad to read about this, the families affected will be in our prayers and especially for those who have lost loved ones. Our sincere condolences for all those affected.

Buses now have to be looked at, I know our people have been riding in those buses for decades and I for one have enjoyed riding in a bus in Samoa (only when it's not over-packed), but there's a point where safety has to be looked at, and I guess with this terrible accident that it has now come to that exact point.

Those buses are not safe, especially when you have it loaded as it always is with people sitting on top of each other, and I've had the experience of driving past one of those buses on that tiavi road earlier this year and they have no regard for anyone else on the road and they drive at excessive speed. All I know is that this is a tragedy and the only good thing that will come of it is if the government looks at the safety of buses and actually makes a change.

Ia lagona le alofa ma le loto faanoanoa i lenei faalavelave, ia ele tuuaia lava foi se isi i lea faalavelave ona e leai lava se tasi e fia oti .Aua e le faatoa tupu ai lea o se faalavelave faapea i pasi e tele ola ua maumau i luga o auala .Ae a tonu ai a sui auala ma fuafua ia fai ai ma ni pa puipui i autafa o nei ala ,aua poo ai lava le tautai e poto ae e iai lava le taimi e sese ai ,Ia faamaise atu le Atua ma faamafanafana i nai aiga faanoanoa soifua ,,,,,,,

First and foremost, my prayers and condolences to the familes and friends of those affected. Im so sorry that it had to be your loved ones. May you find peace and warmth in these trying times.

Secondly, I never like our roads ever since I started driving in the late 90s.
While Im not comparing Samoa with other countries, when it comes to safety and security issues, these are the things that should be the priority coz it concerns peoples lives every single minute of the day.
There are no signages at almost everywhere. The humps and common sharp curves everywhere are just accidents waiting to happen. No signages in these accident prone areas.

I think the most people vulnerable to these flaws are the tourists and visitors to our islands who know nothing about our road system. I can remember a couple of accidents involving toursits who admitted their lack of knowledge about samoan roads esp the adsence of signages and road symbols.
anyways, I hope the mot and the police as wel as the govt take heed to these things.
For sure there will be more deaths on our roads if no action is taken

I myself have experienced the reckless of bus drivers in Samoa. Im from American Samoa, but my parents were a faifeau in Lotofaga Aleipata. I understand when those drivers packed their buses with people and everything their taking to Apia. Even now when Im visiting I can't ride on any bus no more, cause those drivers are so reckless, dont even care about the lives of the people, all they care about is making money....and feel so sorry for them. The police should really look in to it by now....it has happened for so many times and something should've been done by now.
Ia alofa le Atua ma fesoasoani atu i nai aiga.....God bless u all......thank u, from California

my deepest condolences to the families of those who died and may they rest in peace. e leaga se lavea a le avepasi? if not then give him a hidding

Ua tatau ona toe tagai le malo ile faiga o laisene o avetaavale aemaise le pasiaina o taavale poo WOF..aua ole mea moni ele gatia,ole matua taaalo lava o avepasi i ola o tagata,a fai ole ripoti na matua tumu lava le pasi,tutu isi ile ogatotonu ma nisi na nonofo ile auala ole pasi,ou te ofo ua matua ova lava le le faaogaina ole faiai ole avepasi,leiloa poo ua uma taofi ole pasi poo ova se mea ile avepasi,tatou te leiloa e nao le avepasi lava e maua ai le tali oa tatou fesili,ae manaia lava a tea loa i tua le avepasi ave sao loa ile falepuipui.

ia fa'amaise le Atua i nai tagata ua maliliu...a'o la'u fesili pe ua oti ai male ave pasi pe leai...not so fair if he's still kickin........well.....like Mrs applied..........give him a hidding????????or a good beatin.

It is really sad that this happened. I don't remember if I have ever been to this side of Samoa. But something needs to be done seriously about the roads. My husband is originally from A'ufaga, Lepa and everytime we go there I always get scared because the buses are always overcrowded and then the roads are'nt even safe and even the drivers thinks it's a joke. I hope the parliament will take a good look at this issue and do something about it. Let's prevent this tragic accident from happening again.

Faamaise le Atua i aiga loto faavauvau. Ia faalototele foi i aiga ma uo aemaise foi o le faletua o le avepasi.
Ao le fautuaga mo avetaavale i Samoa atoa sei tuu ia le femitai ae sei o faalelei iluga o le auala, po o lea lava le ituaiga auala ete fealuai ai, ae a iai le faautauta ma le feavatai o avetaavale ou te tautino atu e leai lava se taavale e lavea, o le isi ave taavale e musu e faatafa i tua pea vaai atu o saoasaoa mai le isi taavale, e tausisi lava i lona sao, ae le alo ese male faalavelave.Manatua e tele taimi e te sa'o ai, ae tasi lava le taimi e te sese ai, e lelei pe a e sao mai ai.
