Well you are not alone. On the (sort of) other side of the debate I got "pull yer head outta yer ass" which actually made me chuckle...

I don't think I've been on a bus here yet that hasnt' been driven too fast! Like someone else mentioned, they drive inappropriately fast. Back in the UK, there are roundabouts with 60mph limits, but that doesn't mean you're supposed to go 60mph around them! And quite often bus drivers here (and taxis for that matter), pull away with massive acceleration, only to sit at a red light 5 seconds later (fuel consumption anyone?)
I'd say it was fairly easy to tip a bus, just speed around a roundabout with a lot of load on the upper deck, and if you really want to make sure, clip a curb. IMO, 99% likely to be driver error, 1% likely to be bus company/triad conspiracy. What kind of mechanical error would cause a bus to randomly flip over anyway??

Minibus drivers are my pet bane. They seem to be oblivious to the lives in their care. How do these people even get licences?

mrdollars, it depends on whether the minibus in question is green or red. the red bus-drivers are paid per trip... so the more trips, the more people, the more $... the green ones are paid a paltry per day/shift price.
my father-in-law used to drive the mongkok-tokwawan route... never an accident, never a speeding fine...
just in case anyone is wondering... the green mini-bus drivers are paid about $300 for an 8 hour shift. (at least that was the salary a couple of years ago)
