Passenger Uses Umbrella as Rain Soaks Bus Interior

A video from what the author depicts as a bus from Rodoeste sparks uproar on social media. The bus has clearly some years on its back and is unable to withstand the onslaught of rainy weather. Water is pouring in from many places, leaving a passenger to use his umbrella on the bus.

It was like this 30/35 years ago, it seems to have changed very little!

Comment on Facebook Post

This video, posted just yesterday on Facebook, has already been shared over 450 times and is sparking uproar on social media platforms. An anonymous report on Correiodamadeira goes on to criticize the deteriorating condition of buses in Madeira, likening them to those in a third-world country. The report raises a pertinent question about accountability, asking who will be held responsible if the alarming technical state of these buses will cause a major incident.

Modernizing Public Transportation in Madeira

While the post has its amusing elements, there is an evident truth to the uproar. While occasional incidents are normal and to be expected, it's apparent that some of the privately operated buses have surpassed their regular life expectancy. The question that has to be asked is how Madeira plans to ensure a strong and reliable public transportation network that will meet the demands of the near future.
