It is definately not normal for all buses to pull to the left. That is ridiculous. There could be a number of causes, though, such as uneven tire wear (or different sized tires), the need for an alignment, a dragging brake caliper, worn front end part, etc. etc. The most lilely causes should be relatively inexpensive to fix, I believe. -Ron Salmon
