OK so the music's sh*t but the video is worth watching with the speakers turned down. This is a series of people following buses, for whom the automatic bollards retract, and then trying to get over the bollards before they shoot up again.

What the hell? We don't have anything like that over here, but don't these people understand they will be coming back up? Why do they want to try to sneak into a bus lane?

Bollards are hysterically offensive to my American sensibilities, but their effectiveness in fleshing out morons is unparalleled.

I think the bus could possibly be accessing a low-transit/bus-only part of town or just using a bus-only lane that leads somewhere in a more direct way. Or it could be that they are entering some pay-per-transit area that you need a permit for on the car, dumbies just don't want to pay.

Quite a few town centres are pedestrian only - and buses. Makes them quite dangerous places because you don't expect a bus to appear. Cars aren't meant to be there but there's always someone trying to win a Darwin award

Stupid people are stupid, but it would be helpful if the buses could stop just past the bollards until they came back up to prevent just such stupidity.

I think the music is perfection. Also catch the last one with the guy breaking windshield with his head.
