Video: This Egyptian bus doesn’t look very safe

Why? Well, it’s missing something very important. Take a look…

The next time you complain about public transport in Ireland spare a thought for the folks out in Egypt. While your bus might miss its schedule from time to time, this particular bus in Egypt was missing its entire front end.

Thankfully, the bus wasn’t carrying passengers at the time, but the driver can be clearly seen plodding along in the video, as if he has to do this sort of thing on a regular basis.

After a bit of internet sleuthing (we Googled the name that’s clearly written on the side of the bus) we found that the company in question is West & Middle Delta, which operates various bus services out of their base in Alexandria, Egypt.

JOE is no bus safety expert, but we really don’t think someone should be driving a massive vehicle without a front end, even if it is only being driven a mile up the road to the scrap yard. That’s what tow trucks are for…
