When you are in a public commute, you entrust your life and limb to the driver of that public utility vehicle, with the knowledge that under the generally accepted laws and principles governing common carriers, you are to be transported to your chosen destination without hassle, unscathed and safe and sound. In view of that generally accepted principle, all public utility companies are entrusted with the supreme responsibility of making sure that the drivers they get and choose for the public commute and public utility vehicles are responsible, careful and defensive drivers, always with public safety and convenience in mind. In general that is the essential duty of a public utility vehicle driver. If for some reason that driver is found guilty of negligence – even criminal negligence – in his driving of a public utility vehicle, and in the course thereof met an accident that has resulted in injury to the passengers or worse, death of one or some of them, then definitely even the company has to pay indemnity to the injured passengers or the family left behind by casualties, because the company failed to exercise the diligence required in choosing a responsible and prudent driver to drive the public vehicle.
