Another tragedy. Yet another drama claiming at least two lives at the exit of the Ambohidahy tunnel. Struck down by a taxi-be in its reckless dash after brake failure, these victims are among countless casualties from traffic accidents involving public transport vehicles in Antananarivo. Lives cut short prematurely. Examples abound. This year alone, traffic accidents—sometimes fatal—involving one or more taxi-bes are too numerous to count on one hand. Consider a few cases. January 2026: a taxi-be on line 141, connecting Tsarahonenana to Analakely, collides with a hand cart at Andravoahangy Mascar. Four dead. April 2026: a 47-year-old motorcyclist is crushed under the wheels of a taxi-be at Andohatapenaka, directly across from the hospital. He dies instantly. June 2026: a pedestrian is hit by a bus on line 109 at Ampefiloha. He too does not survive. Regarding yesterday's tragedy, technical failure in the braking system appears to be the probable cause. The investigation will confirm or refute this hypothesis. The driver, still dazed after the accident, seems already aware of what awaits him. This accident will certainly impact the lives of around ten people. Not only those of the two fatalities, but also the injured and the driver. Perhaps also the vehicle owner. So many lives affected by a single tragedy. This accident is not the first, and likely will not be the last involving a public transport vehicle in Antananarivo and elsewhere. Statistics from the General Directorate of Road Safety speak for themselves. Between June 1 and August 15, 2025, 151 road accidents were recorded in Antananarivo province, causing 99 deaths and 411 injuries. Public transport and recklessness rank among the main causes. Change is urgent. We must find the means so that lives are no longer cut short so prematurely.
