it has to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed drops, it will explode! I'm calling it The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down

I can do the marketing! "Inspired by a true story that happened right here in Melbourne".

Of course the "true story" turns out the be a bus that skipped all it's stops causing great inconvenience to passengers because it wanted to keep to it's timetable and avoid the bus company incurring penalty paments. But that's close enough for marketing work.

Omg I think I might have been an unwitting extra in that movie. But it was 3 buses in a row so maybe it was the 3rd movie in the series. Maybe "3 Late 3 Stop"? 😊
