DANGEROUS * Australia - Buses cracking up
NSW,Australia -Courier Mail -November 10, 2007: -- The NSW Government's fleet of gas-powered buses need urgent structural repairs after testing uncovered cracking in almost 70 per cent of the vehicle frames... Despite Government claims there is no threat to safety, engineers say there is a risk the 300 buses could rollover or collapse... The gas-powered buses, most of which are only three years old, will have to be removed from service to be fixed, creating more congestion on busy bus routes... The cracking of the window pillars was discovered on a gas-powered bus during routine maintenance, prompting a wide-scale inspection by STA engineers... In total, 90 of the 300 buses were tested, with 75 showing signs of cracking... It is understood the one-tonne natural gas pod on top of the bus roof is contributing to the cracking...
