Why Not Slow Buses Down?

Dear Editor:

Why are buses allowed to travel at a high rate of speed?

In 1968 I acquired my commercial licence and started my chosen life – trucking. Since then buses have and still travel at 118 km/h. They must be governed at that speed. With all this talk of speed limiting for public safety why would they not slow buses first?

Accidents happen in seconds. My load can be replaced, can theirs? •
