SHENZHEN: Ten mini-buses that should have been scrapped are still in service in a suburb of this southern city, threatening the lives of drivers and passengers.
The Route 982 buses have run the 20-km route from 6:10 am until 11:30 pm every day since September 2003.
"Each of the buses must have driven 1 million km and should have been scrapped more than one year ago," said a driver surnamed Li. "Usually I won't close the door tightly so I can escape from the bus as quickly as possible if I need to. It could kill me at any time."
