I’m glad you reported the driver! 80 MPH is excessive and puts lives in danger. I don’t take buses for anything because they are on a time schedule and it is more important for them to get there on time than to consider the safety of their passengers. I think 70 is as fast as I want to go, even though the majority of traffic has no problem pushing 80 and above. Sounds like a death sentence to me.
