Scary NJT bus ride
I know most NJT bus ops are courteous, professional drivers, but I had a guy tonight (I wont say route or bus number) that drove like a complete lunatic in the Lincoln Tunnel. I should've known he'd be crazy, because when he pulled up at the stop, he almost ran me over (I had to stand in the shoulder due to a mound of snow at the side of the road).
Then he gave me the wrong recipt. And then in the Lincoln he must've been doing close to 60, cut a car off and almost crashed into it as he went from the right into the left lane in the tube (you know just where you enter and it curves), man I almost thought we were gonna have a collision right there. So I'm wondering if this needs reporting or not. I have no problem with buses going fast on the highway, but cutting cars off in a tunnel definately put my heart in my throat. And we weren't even late.

Look like that B/O is breaking rule.
I remember from X23, X30, sign clearing says, STAY IN LANE.

I've been on so many buses I've lost count, this is the first time I've seen operation in such an agressive manner, so its not like I am one of those safety obsessed ppl at MTA management, far from it. But this driver was pushing it too hard. How can it be OK to be doing 50mph entering the tube in right lane, then abruptly changing to the left lane and cutting off another vehicle. Yes I arrived safe, perhaps it'd have turned out differently if the car the bus cut off wasn't paying attention and didn't slow down when the bus jumped out in front of him. And isn't it illegal to change lanes in the tunnel in the 1st place? Also I wonder if driving in the left lane is a no-no on the NJTP, because we did that too.

On the open highway (NJTP, parkway) hauling a$$ is great, but in tight spaces like the tunnel I dont think its a good idea. I would assume thats why the speed limit is 35mph not 55mph.

60 in the Lincoln Tunnel...unm sorry no, didnt happen. Nice try tho. I worked the 319 all last summer and I was lucky if I got 35-40 if even that. Now the last 319 trip outta NYPA you can get 40, but there is way too much Port Authority Police in that area. Lincoln Tunnel is usually jammed...

I've been on both Flexible & NABI on highway, it seems too fast, but they are not driving dangerously. They tend to haul
 when they are out in the open, but in the tunnel i'm pretty sure the speed is strictly enforced, PA has no qualms about busting a speeding bus.- A
