Around Orlando, transit drivers go as fast as the bus can go. I've been on BRTs, Phantoms, D60s, NABIs, and Nova artics that have topped 70mph. The company once had a 1997 35ft. Phantom who's top speed was 86mph, powered with a Cummins M11.


As for motorcoaches, I rode on a Van Hool C2045 from Mears (last year and numbered 4209) that was going at a pretty good speed. The driver took that bus up to over 70+, but it was a smooth ride. No sudden stops or anything like that, smooth sailing as they say. That's my personal experience with speed and 4209 did not have seatbelts.
