Probably all for the best, as it looks like the bus is burning oil.

I also find it funny that while they can't seem to afford a proper road, they can afford HD cell phone cameras.

They all seemed very interested in checking on the health of the driver. Very compassionate people.

At first, the headline had me thinking WIN.....but when I saw that cardboard boxes were involved, became a FAIL.

Useless w/o pics of the scene. But if the first tow was into a 2nd No parking zone, I don't see how the Towing company isn't liable for that ticket, plus fraud, plus entrapment, plus collusion, etc...
