When I was on 42nd St Peak Crosstown on NYWY , he was impatient with Lincoln Tunnel traffic, he went around left turn lane-medium lane on 42nd St from 12th to 11th Avs to beat a traffic!

Yuki your A good kid but this unnel is not or even close to the lincoln or holland at that ,all this demonstrates is A bus that lost control.
John was you in the front ? Was you sitting on the B/op lap to see
xact speed huh I want the answer to that Question cuz ,I do 50 in the dAMN Midtown tunnel and others pass me up so look next time you get in the bus put the headphones and go to sleep cuz there ain't no f n way 60mph was met without PAPD ,Y don't play even with buses so I don't wanna hear that this guy got away with this without proof ,show me show me cuz you are just another iner itchin and moaning so quit it ok .What do you think they give us these Half Million dollar buses for the fun of it .....o god damn it ,We are Proffessionals and we have the Right stuff .

The bus can't go past 60mph, and when it goes to 53, the acceleration rate drops. That's how all the NJT buses work, whether its a NABI or a Flx (well the flx can barely get past 40 lol) I can't say why, but other operators know what i am talking about

Well it wasn't 35-40mph I can tell you that! The tunnel was empty.
The driver did slow down near the Manhattan end, thats because there's usually a PAPD cop waiting there. He knew he was speeding in there and how to not get caught.

I'm pretty sure the MCI's go faster than 60mph.

Yes he did actually, the speed was similar, but that accident was actually caused by icing on the roads in the tunnel, which caused the rear wheels of the back section of the bus to slip.

[metsfan]

That video is from a tunnel where ice often forms on the roadway surface, sending vehicles out of control. The driver actually did pretty well considering.

That tunnel in the video , is a badly leaking Russian tunnel , the river water seeps and instantly freezes creating black ice.
Theres no way a bus can go 60 in the Lincoln Tunnel unless it was after 12am , between 12-4am the tunnel is near empty.

You don't want crazy drivers, you want good drivers that knows how to handle a bus.

Okay, then i'll take a crazy good bus driver who'll get me to my destination in a speedy manor.

Too many holes in this story for me to consider plausible, I'm sorry....

gotta side w/ anyone else who's skeptical about these supposed details.... lol... a BUS doing 60 in the Lincoln... especially approaching a curve..

smh....

dude has a habit of always complaining about something anyway... and exaggerating in his chronic complaints on top of it....

You're trying to give off the impression to us that that's how this b/o normally drives, by implying that he had no reason to be driving as fast (I'm still not believing no 60mph), in being as early (or on time) as he might have been....

Long story short, Don't report the guy.
Stop looking to get people fired.
