The Philippine Bully Buses
There’s a new breed of buses that ply the streets of Metro Manila, Philippines. They are not your average buses. They are killer buses that will challenge your driving skills and put you closer to cardiac arrest every time you are on the road. What are these buses? Meet the Philippine Bully Buses. Here is a quick guide to the newly discovered species of dangerous creatures on the road.
Giganticus Moronensis
This particular species of bully bus is commonly called the That Freakin’ Bus. Its name lends to the fact that this bus does not know what the turn signal is for. This particular species of bully bus is indigenous to the metropolis and semi-urban areas. It is characterized by its ridiculous use of its turn signal that is bordering on stupid with a dash of insane. You will notice this specific species of bully bus to use either left or right turn signal then going the other way. The adult species of the Giganticus Moronensis does not just use turn signals erroneously, but uses the hazard light without the aid of cognitive function. Take note that there are no emergencies whatever. Moreover, this particular bully bus is known to stop in the middle of the road to load or unload its passengers. In many instances the adult male species were observed to honk relentlessly at other vehicles without provocation. Experts posit that this behavior is a show of dominance over other vehicles plying the same thoroughfare. As such, many believe that this species is very territorial and will attack with minimal provocation. Moreover, after several observations, experts have unearthed the fact that the loudness of their honks is inversely proportional to their brain size.

Giganticus Serpentinum
The Giganticus Serpentinum is considered as one of the most dangerous bully buses known to man. This particular species is known to weave through traffic as if there was none. Young Serpentinum can cross 2 or 3 lanes in medium traffic with ease. However, adult species are known to cross 3 or even 4 lanes even when traffic is heavy. This bully bus species banks on motorists’ fear of getting hit by a rampaging bus. Scientists have also noticed that this species often force other motorist to move away from their intended path by moving so close that can induce shock to drivers. Moreover, these species can elicit cursing and cussing behavior if you happen to come across one in the wild. Common reactions to the serpentinum include “holy Sh!t”, “F@k you” or the commonly preferred local vulgarity of “put@ng in@ mo”. Experts have noticed that reactions to the locomotion of this species are not limited to verbal aggression or near cardiac arrest. After much scientific inquiries, experts conclude that the locomotion through traffic causes an increase in honking rate of other vehicles in the wild. Unfortunately, such increase in honking from others motorists seems to be impervious to the species.

In case you encounter the Giganticus Serpentinum in the wild, it is best to let it pass. It is also preferable to avoid blasting your horn as it does nothing to sway that darn bus to move away. But if it makes you feel happy to honk at it, feel free to do so at your own risk.
