And nothing has been said about the driver being reprimanded for their carelessness.
Keep reporting the bus was unoccupied as if that is some type of excuse removing all responsibility for the driver. That is blatant negligence.
Was you there to see what had happened though? Speaking about reprimanded… What it is a blatant negligence to make such report I tell you that.
Eloquently put!
I have a suggestion. Maybe PTB could invest in wheel chucks that are placed under the rear wheels when the bus is stationary and or unoccupied. It would be a dark day for the country if one of these buses collided with a civilian or child. Chuck blocks cost less then a life.
