And don't get me started on the bus with the air brakes shooting out their compressed air every 15 seconds . . .
I wouldn't call those shuttle drivers professional - many of them shouldn't be allowed to drive a bicycle, let alone a large public bus. I actually fell once on one of those buses due to the erratic driving and braking by the driver.
As to the air brakes, that's something I won't miss either - nor sucking on the diesel fumes in the enclosed arrival space while watching 15 Avis/Budget/Hertz/etc buses drive by until one National/Enterprise bus showed up
