Wow I didn’t know Bermuda was a perfect world where accidents don’t happen. Some of you are pathetic. You take every chance to take a shot at Government even when it makes you look like a fool. Not one of you are perfect and every one of you have made a mistake in your lives. Why act like this is such a intolerable thing? Its unfortunate yes but things happen. Get over yourselves.

Do you utilize the bus? We already have more than a handful of foreign drivers.

We need to stop this PLP& OBA (UBP) blame game, Cause this is a Safety issue that needs to be address. Mr. Furbert(BIU) and Mr. Burgess need to make sure that their drivers/ machanics are up to the job. We all have driven on buses or have family that uses public transpotation system and the carelessness that is shown her must be address.

The problem with Bermuda is we do not take failure seriously this has happened before and should not have happened a second time the finance minister seems to have not given deep thought or did not listen to people in the government departments as to the consequences of budget cuts. These cuts could now be jeopardizing public safety..

Well then this must be a plot by the PLP to make the OBA look bad then since the building is owned by the Gibbons Company (yes – sarcasm)

Just glad nobody was hurt. It’ll be fine soon since we’ll have foreign bus drivers who pay attention, show up for work, don’t take drugs and are polite.

S’cuse me, can’t help wondering, might your last name be ‘Lister’? And might you be in charge of the Ministry of Transportation? It’s not the OBA’s responsibility to make sure the buses work. It’s the Ministry of Transportation.

By: Hello, wake up call

Hello, wake up call — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:38:57 +0000

Honey. First of all, don’t TELL me how to raise my kids. Not your place. Second of all, anger at the government does not = gang violence in Bermuda. Sorry. And third of all, we’re all sick of the fact that there are such flaws in the public transportation system. You’re right. If the bus had been full of passengers, it would have been much worse. We’re angry about the fact that it very well could have been. We’re supposed to be able to trust the fact that the Ministry of Transportation is checking up on this. Apparently not.

By: Hello, wake up call

Hello, wake up call — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:35:20 +0000

The UBP consists of two members. Neither of which runs the government or has any hand in public transportation. So somehow I doubt it.

If you want to point fingers, try the present government, which is *gasp* the PLP. What a surprise.

So, you think the driver KNEW there was something wrong with the brakes and decided to park it and walk away? WOW…..

By: Hello, wake up call

Hello, wake up call — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:33:09 +0000

Sorry, but we’re not harpies. Whenever something like this happens, and someone tries to do something about it, all the bus drivers automatically go “MISTREATMENT!” and strike. Everyone’s had enough of it. The most recent bus strike: classic example. It’s disgusting.

What happened to the well paid person with the stop sign thats supposed to watch the busses coming back…off having a smoke or chatting to someone accross the street? Bottom line is that bus terminal is to small for whats required and the blame should lay with the lady who put it together “the principal governmaent structural engineer” who cant read a measuring tape! How may accidents since it was built (I think around 35)

Did the driver need to relieve him/herself that desperately that they forgot to apply the handbrake? I’m glad I wasn’t a pedestrian on the sidewalk at that time!

I read most commits but we don’t really know what happened. They could have had problems with the brakes. So people need to keep remarks to themselves before passing judgement.

Can verify that stement from eyewitness. NO driver onboard.

Drove in, hopped off bus & was headed across the road to the Bakery.

Apparently he did not check parking brake, if it was applied.

Maybe he can get a job with Costa Cruises.

Drug test??? Diciplinary action??

@ “Shameful” and “you are joking right” while you have complained about everyone’s post; you lost your gullibility with your filthy mouths. How dare you knock all these bloggers and turn around and use unnecessary profane language, even if it is hidden behind the spelling. You’re much nastier then them.

I do not like the argument that people should ignore a bad event simply because they should be grateful it wasn’t worse. That basically trivializes all bad events.

That being said, we dont know all the facts, but the article does seem to imply that it was a driver-less bus, so comments i would assume should be limited to that.

My opinion, i find malfunctioning breaks to be much scarier a situation than driver error, and somewhat hope it was a missed handbrake.
