Most bus captains sensible and safe drivers

I refer to the letter headlined, 'Dreadful bus drivers should be re-educated', which appeared in the South China Morning Post, on October 4.

I was very surprised by the arguments posed in this letter. I think it is only right and proper to present a more accurate picture.

Personally, I think that bus services in the SAR are satisfactory.

I agree that some bus drivers go too fast and a sudden acceleration can be upsetting for passengers.

However, I think such drivers are the exception to the rule.

Most drivers appreciate that if they drive recklessly, there could be an accident, and that if there are casualties, they are as likely to sustain an injury as any passenger.
