Sounds like they need to dig the street down quite a bit.

Because trying to educate the bus drivers isn't working!

Time to trade in the double deckers for bendy busses.

The bus in the picture in the link is a low floor single decker.
They don't get much lower then that!

Couldnt get the link to open on this stupid phone. Just thought it was a double deck, my error.

What exactly is the vertical clearance at this bridge? From your post back in February it would
appear nothing but a normal height sedan would fit under that bridge.

There is a commuter rail bridge south of Boston that has a video feed to the local police station
and we've seen postings of it on line. Trucks try to fit under it all the time with horrible results.
Accidents have become so frequent that they no longer draw crowds. Just keep a broom and shovel nearby!

The sign on the bridge says 3 metres which about 9'-10". i.e. not very high...
The bucket truck I drive for AT&T would not fit under that bridge.
