I am sure you all have taken express buses before. If you take the daytime one not so bad because they can't speed. The worse is to take the late afternoon - to evening buses because I think they tend to speed around just after dark so that they want to arrive in KL before midnight. I think there is also less speed trap because police would be breaking for dinner time. The other one is the late night buses which goes without saying speed like mad. You can actually feel the bus swaying and I would say it is a gamble to travel on night buses because I am sure they are doing more than 110 as you can see them overtaking cars.

The southern part is bad because traffic is heavy despite 3 lanes and therefore it is not suprising this happened. Imagine a speeding bus would have a lot of momentum. A lot of you may not realise that the current buses are also to blame because buses like scanias are very powerful. They have a lot of safety features also but it won't stop bad driving. I honestly enjoy taking Maraliner and Transnasional because they are using scania or daewoo and they are fast but it is a gamble that I take to arrive faster.

It is nice to blame the bus drivers but really if you talk to them they have to make the trips and sleep in the bus.  If I am in their shoes I would be speeding too out of boredom. I blame it on the government as compulsory speed limiters and better pay in the industry would solve the problem.

One boasted to me he did 160 on a downhill stretch in a double decker. My hands are already shaking at 130km.
