Has anyone else got the infamous 'Stealth Buses' running in their city centre?!

What's a "Stealth Bus" I hear you cry?! Well it's a bog standard inter-city bus, except it's had the big noisy diesel engine ripped out of it and replaced with a nice, environmentaly friendly gas powered one. All great for the trees and ickle fluffy bunnies, but the gas engines are completely silent and in my opinion a health hazzard!

You can hear standard buses a mile off as the angry driver rages around town in a vain attempt to keep to his impossible schedule, which in turn means there's no danger of you getting run over by them (Disregarding the headphones and loud music factor).

However, these new gas-powered Stealth Buses are like silent assasins stalking around town. They race around corners into pedestrianised areas send people scattering out of their way, pull out of bus-stops with no heed or warning. I saw 2 accidents where people have been clipped by them in my hour lunch break today. That's a victim every 30 miuntes!

Frickin' stealth buses!!! 😠

God I remember waiting for a bus in Dublin on New Year's Eve...standing watching the snowballs that were being lobbed at me by the kids on the other side of the road burst a yard away from the bus shelter...
