Certain internet sources were abuzz today here in Amsterdam over the dangers posed by double decker tour buses.

Simple math really: very tall busses with open roofs + tourists taking photos occasionally standing up + tree branches ÷ electric wires for trams = danger.

While I'm sure there's a certain thrill to seeing a town by oversized carbon spewing bus, there are simply too many better ways to see Amsterdam these days. They include: bicycle, boat, foot, and tram. Segway has been banned from the streets so scratch that one of the list. As for bus... well.. why bother?

For your viewing pleasure.
