    ye same, the buses don't usually go very quick cos of traffic most of the time.tbh i think the buses are more stable and move slower than the ones in the UK due to traffic.

    If ya sit in those little busses with max 16 people, it can become very scary.
    Especially, when ya go very fast on a very narrow road

    It is true, that some of the double deckers speed on the highway...but generally, I thought they were pretty safe. It's sad to hear such tragedy happen

    i generally find them ok, yeh they go a bit fast but never to the point where i thought they would roll or something

    but they have those speed displays in all the little busses so people can report the drivers when they speed

    For me it is a rollcoaster ride. Going up and down, left and right ...

    If ya wannahave extra fun go in the evening when it is dark and not much traffic. These speed maniac go max ... and ya as passenger go :puke:

    Speeding double decked buses are the worst combination

    yea cos a bus is so tall but not very wide so in a turn, it is easy for it to flip over.

    Chinese bus drivers are fucking maniacs lol. Travelling through china on a tour bus was one of the scariest things i've ever experienced... especially on the mountain passes. So many sphincter clenching moments.
