When bus service to Atlantic City was at its peak, the NJ State Police operated an inspection station on the southbound Garden State Parkway. Stories ranged from broken windows, heavy exhaust, bad registration/logbooks, and on one bus, the outer-dual tire had blown and it was simply removed and tossed in one of the luggage bays bey either the driver or a company mechanic.In this case, Megabus is likely guilty of not enforcing their luggage weight rules. 4000 pounds sounds high, but it's just 50 pounds per person extra when considering 80 passengers were on board. |
