  QUESTION OF THE DAY: How do you tow a bus when it breaks down completely? ANSWER: Evidently you don't! This morning I saw this city bus being hauled back to the central yard on a flatbed trailer. Grabbed a couple of pictures when we stopped at a stop sign and the truck/bus combo turned left and pulled away. These were through my car windshield and side window, so they are tinted/distorted accordingly. |

Forgot to mention....Looking at the rear picture, maybe this was just a mobile household hazardous waste collection center!  |

I have seen buses being towed by large tow trucks. School buses are often old and I have had them break down while I was driving. Once a piece of the drive train about ten feet long fell off the bus.

Maybe they'll use a bus to tow it, John  |

Here's how the US Army moves a 60-ton Abrams tank -- it ought to be able to cope with any little old bus.  How cool! That is after my time, the M1 was just being adopted as I left the Army. We had big tracked things called M88s that we used to tow tanks rather than carry them sometimes, though. |
