    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.

    Closing the barn door after the horse has already run away.

    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.
