Vandals have had free reign to smash up two abandoned buses left to rot by a roadside in St David’s.The pink and blue buses are understood to have been dumped on a field on Carter’s Bay Road, off Southside Road, about six weeks ago.Since then vandals have set to work smashing the windows and windscreens of the vehicles which still have their licence plates. The interior of the buses seems to be intact, but the aisles are filled with metal, wood and cardboard boxes.The two abandoned buses have been branded “an unnecessary eyesore” and calls have been made to “put the buses to good use” or dispose of them properly.The abandoned buses have become a talking point as Bermuda’s public transport remains under scrutiny as it struggles to meet the demands of residents and tourists.But Transport Minister Terry Lister says the buses are no longer Government property as they had been donated to a community group.One bus states it is the number 14 to Sandys Secondary School, while the second vehicle says it is going to Hamilton.UBP Senator Suzann Holhouser, who lives in St. David’s, said it was “just not good enough” that the buses had been dumped on Government land, owned by Bermuda Land Development Corporation.She said: “Years ago Government announced that it was going to send some buses to Cuba. Those Cuba buses are now sitting in St David’s on Government property.“Yes, it is a disgrace. Yes, they should be removed. They aren’t visible from the road, but they are very visible to those on planes.“They are a real sightsore and should be taken to the quarry or a landfill site.”A woman, who regularly walks in the area, said she first spotted the abandoned buses at the beginning of April near Southside Cinema.The buses are on an open space next to a warehouse, which is used to store lobster pots. Nearby there is a huge pile of trash, including rusted machinery, dumped mattresses and a dining room table.The woman, who did not want to be named, said: “I couldn’t believe it when I first saw the two buses, I was kind of in shock.“What with everything that’s going on with transport right now, it’s appalling that they are still there, they should be put to good use or disposed of properly.“They still have their plates on, you can’t leave two buses there like that. Something needs to be done.”Mr Lister said he would launch an investigation when this newspaper told him about the two abandoned buses. He then said the two buses had been donated to a community group but would not give any more details.
