After a barrage of criticism from the public and the government, the accident-plagued Naeila bus company has instituted a novel training program that stresses safety and spirituality.

According to a recent article in the Los Angeles Times, Naeila includes religion courses to raise the drivers’ values. In addition the curriculum includes more traditional measures, such as better training, more rest for drivers, and two-person driving crews during dangerous pre-dawn hours.

The Times reported that Naeila buses have been blamed for the deaths of 17 people in recent months.
