The only things certain in life are death, taxes, and problems with Fung Wah buses. Mac Daniel reports that the latest Fung Wah problem involved two tires coming right off the bus as it headed down the Turnpike.
But here's the real howler - the bus passed its state inspection on November 29. Surely, whoever inspected that bus was smoking something absolutely magnificent. How on earth can someone whose line of business it is to inspect buses miss loose lug nuts? And how can they miss a loose lug nut on a Fung Wah bus, when you know there's already going to be trouble?
Bostonist has forgiven Fung Wah before, as it is has spawned a decent balance of hookups to accidents. Why, oh why, Fung Wah, must you break the trust? The driver didn't think it was a big deal, saying to WCVB, "Nothing. This is nothing." Is that statement the result of Fung Wah's attempt to improve driver competence?
Yes, Fung Wah may be cheap and, in the words of the Christian Science Monitor, emblematic of "counterculture cool." The bus-riding stalwarts have shown Fung Wah the love, but it's time for Fung Wah to show them some love back!
