OK for the record, I was in the back seat recording this, yes we were doing over the speed limit to try and see how fast the bus actually was going. We were doing around 80km and the bus was pulling on us fast. It's hard to see in the video.

looks like the car is doing about 80 and the bus really isnt pulling away like its doing a 100....so its ok for the driver of the car to be speeding to? Didn't think so.

@kentbrockton The city should also get the Toronto Police Service a helicopter. i know first hand that when a police officer loses the sight of a suspect they will set up a perimeter and wait for Police Dog Services, there will be times the scent will be contaminated and there are alsot times a suspect would had gotten away before Police Dog Services arrives

@kentbrockton then the city should seriously work on that

@kentbrockton ok then yah the bus could be going to fire nobody knows the video doesn't explain much, i know policing is a stressfull job my buddys a tow truck driver he goes to all those accidents and listens to there radios he goes to some of the worst accidents, i do not know how stressful TTC drivers are so i shouldn't comment about them but i do know how stressful coppers are.

@kentbrockton i was making the point that the TTC do not know how to spend their money they do not have elevators on every station which makes it difficult for people who are handicaped and that TTC drivers do not have more stress then police officers

[CovertOPSDragunov]

@kentbrockton the TTC are wasteful spender, no elevator on evey station, they say they have more stress then police officers i strongly disagree, police are first responders

@birchmount19 That is true for the new ones (somewhere around 105-110); some of the older models can do up to around 130.

@birchmount19 He must have disabled the governor

[birchmount19]

@tomgreene121 Those buses can't do 140 km/h the fastest they can go is 100 km/h

[tomgreene121]

I estimate he's going about 140

@sonsandloverstube yet you and hundreds of thousands of other drivers speed all the time, yet you get a ttc driver pressing the pedal a bit and all of a sudden it's big youtube news? little bit of a hypocrite are you? And NO, I have absolutely no affiliation with ttc, I just don't understand the point you are trying to make, especially since i am a driver who does EXACT speed limits all the time. I bet you do 80 in a 50 zone don't you?
