There's obviously more than one on our streets at any given moment, about 4000 bus stops on the island. Ever hear one with its brakes in need of new pads? Or when their brakes release compressed air as normal operation? Geez, the way these guys bring up points for argument, it really diminishes their credibility. I would be more receptive of their arguments if it was more scientific such as published decibel levels for the train from a certain distance compared with a bus, car, and motorcycle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
