 Personally, if I were one of them, I would also take the shortcut. It could saves a lot of time which students desperately need for their studies. The road could be dangerous to some extent. But think about it, if a train was to be approaching, would you not be able to hear or see it ? They only reason that one might not be able to spot the train is due to the thick bushes that grows along the track. The authorities should get the bushes around the track to be cleared every now and then. Secondly, a small tunnel or overhead bridge or just a signal for the incoming train could be build there for safety. It not only ensures the safeties of the students, but also makes it more convenient as it opens up a safe pathway for students that needs to get to the certain bus stop that are more convenient for students and residents staying around the area. Lastly, if parents are concern about the safety there due to history of robbery, the school might want to add a guard post to the gate that connects to the path. Its just a 5min walk from the gate to the bus stop, so the path should be visible at all times by security guards. In conclusion, the involved schools should request to the relevant ministry to apply the safety measures mentioned above. Then, students can enjoy having going past the path way safety, saving lots time and also reassuring the parents that their children are safe during the journey to school. |
