Not very often that we see an intercity bus parked with its rear engine bay open to view, probably from overheating. But this was on a rainy day. Found this Volvo B7R city bus with it’s intestines in full view, snapped it up. Regret the cell phones lack of quality but the sprockets and belts do offer a very nice view for the complicated mind.

There have been recent cases of people getting stuck in bus doors and the bus moving off resulting in injury. It is true that the drivers and conductors of these buses care very little, and in the stressful traffic have little to spare to do that.
But can’t the manufacturer rig the doors correctly?
Metro in Calcutta started 2 decades back and the doors would open if something or someone got caught in them and they did not shut properly. Its alarming that such stuff is not in place on buses even today.
The tech part should be fairly simple.
Technology is there, it’s a matter of using it.
