Jesus wept. The incompetence of people in charge! It is all very solvable, for the price of less than $20. Present situation – with intolerably reflective white surfaces inside The problem, dear reader, is that the new buses, apparently only the electrically powered new buses, are “dangerous” at night as there are too many reflections, caused by bright lights inside the new buses, and the driver cannot safely see the road.

I hope that you don’t mind. I used to call it the Portico, but I’ve been very firmly told that I am mistaken.
