Does anybody here seriously think that a new bus will be allowed with

Serves 'em right for trying to get on and off a moving vehicle. I know
that when I had the opportunity to do that, I would have blamed no-one
but myself if I screwed up. Likewise if I was standing on the open
platform while the bus was moving - something which you weren't supposed
to do.
