Been riding behind buses for past few months that are spewing thick exhaust. It’s really nasty so I am not surprised. Someone tell TCD to start using their emissions testing facilities.
from what i experienced in several other places the cars etc are placed with the front wheels on top of motorised rollers and a sensor in the exhaust pipe and them you are asked to press the gas pedal to get a reading !don,t know anything about readings but most i have seen here are x!
I miss the good ole days of carbon monoxide poisoning from the 1970 series buses. They were sweat boxes and rolling gas chambers all in one. Those buses used to over heat, spew black smoke and break down quite often (seems like history is repeating itself).
Isn’t that one of the new buses?
They came in 09
Wasn’t me, I swear
I get it …lol
jus goes to show HOW F#@KIN’ BROKE BERMUDA IS…do you hear me!..?? i don’t care who is in power… you can’t stop the crumbling of humanity as you once knew it…gotta leave it there.
Probably over heated and s*** went downhill from there. They always got these buses running none stop. They need a break too
Granted, the buses are operating many hours per day; yet often, (if not always) after having a bus returned to H/Q by one operator it is returned to the road without first being overhauled e.g. checked out for any possible / inevitable problems.
Ask most operators…
There’s a few minor things that must be done prior to sending a bus out on the public roads but aren’t
Funny man
Alan…keep playing with DeSilva and see where it gets you.
Fire dept.(mars well) might as well keep the bus . Use it for training .
I disagree Coffee. I say fix it and put it back in service and save the Govt. / public, (that’s us) from spending more money on another bus to take its place
