I agree, the mkIIIs on 089 always accelerate damn fast when they
turn into TPE from SKG bcos other motorists particularly those
inconsiderate ones often try to squeeze in front of the bus. I find
that strange and your theory may be right, bcos the mkIIIs are
already just behind vehicles in front and people on crowded buses
risk falling when a car cuts in front of the bus.
PS: I ever saw a 088 VO3X BC who opened the window and yelled at a
lorry that cut in front of him and braked hard. He shouted:"
*&%^$, LE LAO BEH GAI LOU AR?!" Translation for those who do
not understand, "&%&*^ your mother, your father's road is
it?!"
