Practically anybody can drive a bus. If they would have left the keys in them and told people where they were, I guarantee each one of them would have been filled to capacity and somebody would be driving it.

possibly more importantly, where would they have taken them?
North.




Quote:

At least they weren't underwater.




Quote:

What expense, gasoline?

New Orleans certainly should have, they've had decades to implement one knowing that it was just a matter of time before they get hit by a hurricane and flooding.
