Speeding megabus, Double Decker leaves me in the dust

Speeding Double Decker mega bus by Grey Hound leaves me in the dust. The bus left me behind traveling at 120 kph. I know the speed limit on the 401 is 100 Kph and people rarely travel that speed, however double deckers flying down the road at that speed is crazy. How can the police enforce the limit and ticket people traveling at 130 or 140 kph when the buses are going 120 and up?

I think the real issue is that someone is driving 120kph and changing lanes while filming a video.

I love it when someone who speeds along behind me, then complains about me speeding. I always say "you were speeding, too, then". The usual response is "to see how fast you were going". I reply... "that's what I was doing... pacing the car in front of me". Get a hobby.

Just to clarify who owns who, Coach USA is owned by the British bus/rail transport operator Stagecoach, which operates Megabus services. Laidlaw International, which operates Greyhound coach services, is owned by the British bus/rail operator, First group. Both companies are actually Scottish.

MegaBus actually originated from the UK, all MegaBuses in the US are owned by CoachUSA. i know cause i work at the Central Support Center for MegaBus operations.

Megabus isnt owned by Greyhound.

LOLs, this is how PROFESSIONAL BUS OPERATORS do it! He/She knows how to keep that bus in pace and in a safe speed, you better get off your camera and start driving safely and stop worrying about people who are more "PRO" than you! I don't have a CDL, but I have friends that do, and few are MegaBus B/O's, and they move that thing like a BOSS, hehe!

120km/h not bad for a Honda. 20km/h over the spped limit cost in Germany 30 Euro. What does it cost for you?

And have you ever thought about the fact that maybe your POS ride has a bad odometer, what your POS car may be showing as 120 may actually be 110 or 115 km/h?

[avio07]

120 km/h is fast? Are you fucking insane? Get a life and stay on the right side of the highway shithead... have you ever been to the US where speed limits are 80mph (128 km/h) on some major US interstates. Don't talk shit about people going 120 in Canada... No one goes under 120 in Canada anywhere on the highway.

I guess we have a couple drivers here!! I work for CC in Canada and drive the megabus.com Van Hool double decker. What a great driving bus.

@deislfume Megabus.com is actually a brand, like WIndex, its not just a website its more of a product name - the product here is the web booked coach service. It is used by Stagecoach in the UK and Coach Canada in Canada, and I think Greyhound in the USA.
