Can you smell that smell?

From Neraca

I believe there is an official regulation against city buses spewing forth an overwhelming amount of exhaust. In the past, sanctions had been meted out against violators but, apparently, the enforcement of this law has slackened.

Nowadays city buses, both those run by the government-owned PPD bus company and those run by its private counterparts, are spewing trails of thick black smoke from their mufflers as they speed down city roads.

The fumes endanger people's health by polluting the air and risk fatal traffic collisions, as a result of smoke obstructing other drivers' vision.

The city police should re-enforce the regulation against bus produced air pollution.
