Feds shut Fung Wah

I did notice that most of the Fung Wah incidents is from 5 years ago and earlier. A check on Wikipedia reveals that this observation is not because I haven't been checking the news, it even noted that a government report in 2011 that there was not accident in 2 years.

Meanwhile Megabus actually had very recent and fatal crashes.

I thought about voicing that thought in the previous post but I decided too much time has passed. I personally enjoyed taking Fung Wah, the ride was fast and I got to NYC and back multiple times with no issue. Unlike the commentators in the last post, whom some I wonder are judging by the news and the people who runs it while never personally even been near the bus.

I do have to admit, something like "structural issues" sounds ridiculously dangerous. Something I cannot brush of as a mix of lingering reputations created by mistakes of a new company whose start have no intention to become half that it became and streotypes while dealing with a government likely under pressure by established players.

At least Lucky Star is still alive.

When your business model is based on acquiring busses that are well past their prime, then driving the crap out of them, something has to give.
Do you feel lucky? ;-)

Gee, maybe if you read the actual article, you would know why the T "thinks" they can do this:

The MBTA said the company’s violation of federal regulations constituted a default on its license agreement with the T,

“This letter will serve as a notice of default for failure of your company to comply with the applicable Regulatory Standards as required by your License Agreement,” it read. “The MBTA expressly reserves all rights and remedies, including the right to terminate the License Agreement if the above defaults are not promptly cured.”
