OVERLOADED BUSES * New Zealand - Police checking for

Christchurch,New Zealand -TVNZ -Jun 17, 2008: -- ... As high fuel prices drive commuters out of their cars and onto public transport, the extra numbers are putting pressure on the system.

The buses are proving so popular that sometimes they have had to skip people and they have to wait for the next bus. But many buses are packing in as many people as possible at one time which has led to police pulling over buses to check if they are being overloaded...
