BOSTON (AP) — State inspectors say they have found serious safety problems with buses used by a popular discount bus service operating between Boston and New York City.
Department of Public Utilities Chairwoman Ann Berwick said inspectors looked at nine buses used by Fung Wah Bus and found serious problems in eight, including cracks to the frames.
Berwick said the state negotiated an agreement with the company to take all 21 of their older buses off the road.
Six of the company’s buses are still operating.
Berwick said the state has also sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation asking them to declare an imminent hazard which would effectively shut down the company until it could operate to the satisfaction of federal inspectors.
A call to the company was not immediately returned Monday.
Good the drivers of those buses drive like ********
I’ve seen 2 on fire.. If u see Fung Wah on 91 or the pike stay far away from them!!
I can tell you as a truck driver that the operators of Fung Wah buses are among the scariest “professional” drivers on the road. Aggressive, rude and consistently making illegal maneuvers. I avoid them whenever I see them on the highway.
no kidding…they ALWAYS seem to be on the side of the road!!
not the first time and there were problems with drivers too ,in the past some drivers could not read English… signs are important.Just sayin’.
yr a idiot u ride a bus says fung wah…. lol
Heath, my boyfriend is also a truck driver and he ******* about their drivers CONSTANTLY!!!
