Your report is so bad, not to report it immediately to the state is grossly irresponsible. But the most effective option is to report it to the local press. In either case the drivers are criminally liable to knowingly continue driving those buses. Report it quietly to the state, the press or both but report it immediately. I mention the press because the state may ignore, take too long or lose your report - the press will not. (jk)

Don't take this the wrong way, but you would have to be an idiot for driving it in this condition. TWO MONTHS of write-ups or brake complaints without action? This post is a joke, right? You can't be serious. I'd drive that junk right through the garage doors and see if they think it's serious enough to fix then!

Live each like it's going to be your last, one day you'll be right!

To see if what will happen? What does that mean, since you're the one in charge of what happens next! (jk)
