It must be noted that, in the second pic, those are city transit buses.
Nagin had access to every one of them, too, but by the aftermath, they sat idle, in a pool of floodwater.
Thanks in some of my earlier posts, I had pointed out that the white buses were N O's city buses.
I have gotten emails from people who are saying basically two things about the buses not being used.
1. Da Mayor's lawyers told him not to use the school buses incase one of them got into an accident evacuating people.
2. Da Mayor couldn't get union drivers to respond and was afraid of making them mad if he used other drivers.
Apparently in one of his rants he demanded that every Greyhound Bus and Driver in the Country be sent to N O's to pick up his citizens.
