Speed 4: Life On The Highway

I have an update on my Bus Ride of the Week story from last time. I thought my bus rides were bad from the park and ride lot to campus, but it seems my school's drivers have been outdone by the great folks at the Valley Transportation Authority.

What you can't see in the photo is my speedometer. If I could get it in my photo from my iphone, it would show you that I was doing above the speed limit and was passed by a city bus. I am not trying to get anyone in trouble, but come on? How fast does an in (or out) of service bus need to be going? Not that fast, unless it is trying to keep above 65 miles per hour, which on most California freeways is only possible in the two left lanes (if there are six available lanes).

I had my music up pretty loud when this happen and I was scared that I was in the filming of a movie (or possibly being chased by police). I quickly checked my surroundings and grabbed my trusty iphone to snap the photo. No motorists were harmed in the taking of this photo.
