how does a bus, on a track, at a governed constant speed, unable to turn or speed up, kill 3 people between 2015 and 2021?

That's nearly a train.... so how did 3 people get hit by it? And die?

The govt says it was a lack of fences.

I can use logic, and figure out that if a fence would prevent people from stepping in front of a bus, then the bus and the fence were not at fault, people jumping in front of a bus were unable to prevent themselves from stepping in front of it.

so... why did the bus topple over in Sun Metro's transit center on Feb 11th when it was on the lift?... the reason it blew up was a it's fuel tank of CNG puncturing when it hit the floor - and two died from burns - that is effing horrible. Hey OSHA, focus on this OSHA "certified" lift, and , not safety glasses!

The video shows a Sun Metro bus falling from a hydraulic lift about 1 p.m. on Feb. 11 at a maintenance garage at the Sun Metro Operations Center, in East El Paso.

It slides off center supports, and I don't see outriggers to keep it balanced on those scissor jacks... it slid off.

is this the result of getting rid of pits, and buying from the lowest bidder? Why isn't that bus on a 4 point lift under each tire, or each corner?

thanks to Kim for sharing his review of a artist's book that is not likely to get distributed in the USA. 'The Fantastic Bus' winner of the Nordic Council Literature Prize, and adapted into a sold out play!

In 2024, the author and illustrator Jakob Strid was awarded the Nordic Council's Children's and Youth Literature Prize for his book 'The Amazing Bus'. It took him fifteen years to write and draw the book. He tells both poetically and seriously about how a group of different animals, from small turtles to lions and rhinos, set out together to find the magical land of Balanka.

The little bear Taku tells about how the gallery of characters in the story builds an enormous, four-story high, 10-wheeled bus. The prime mover behind the project is the cat Spir, whose green fur is due to the fact that he once fell into a barrel of radioactive slime...

An equally important main character is the bus itself, which in addition to its many piston engines has jet turbines and wings. It is all drawn technically quite correctly, which makes the illustrations extra enjoyable for car enthusiasts to study in more detail. It is clear that the author has spent a lot of time looking at and understanding the technology of trucks before putting pen to paper.

The animals' goal in building the imaginative vehicle is to find a flower that can save the sick Timo's life. This results in a trip through wild landscapes, across desolate plains, along a bridge over the North Pole and on to the other side of the world. The experiences along the way range from technical challenges to a meeting with the gods, to flashbacks about how they once tried to fly to Balanka in airships.

The book from the publisher Gyldendal is a small work of art, and can be read with equal pleasure by both children and adults. It is worth every penny.

The Fantastic Bus even put on a sold out show at the Royal Theatre of Copenhagen!

Experience Jakob Martin Strid’s grand masterpiece in a new musical and poetic production for children, as The Fantastic Bus takes over the Main Stage at the Royal Danish Playhouse.

Oct 8-Nov 30

Life in Ahnstarr City is not easy for Taku, Spir, and their friends. Their small wooden houses by the harbor are being torn down, and little Timo is seriously ill.

Only the rare saffron lily, which grows in the dreamland of Balanka, can cure him.

When two old Phantom-8 jet engines from a failed expedition 25 years ago are rediscovered, and a plasma generator is brought back to life, Spir has an idea: let’s build a bus and travel to Balanka!

the new Fantastic Four movie has a cool variety of vehicles in the scenery, and a great recreation of the comic book Thing lifting a VW Bug

Notice the little green round thing in the far left above

A bus called Swordfish? Is this an easter egg for the Jackman/Berry/Travolta?Cheadle movie where the helicopter picks up the bus and flies it across the city?
