    Looks absolutely awful. I don't see why they've arrested the driver so quickly - though it is clear he should have gone into the back of the taxi.

    Also, you should edit the title. It wasn't a KMB bus but a Citybus bus.

    Done. Happened in Sham Shui Po, so I thought KMB.

    It's for dangerous driving, which unfortunately, doesn't surprise me.

    If dangerous driving is an arrestable offense, then HKG would be a 100% pedestrian city.

    Unfortunately, it seems like the punishment is reactionary. If they put undercover safety officers on the the buses here, there would hardly be any drivers left.

    I happened to walk past the scene last night. The disciplined services were highly professional.

    Follow up in the SCMP which outlines how many hours the drivers have to work / rest and salary.
