Over here in Philippine they do not have have a central bus terminal. Each bus company has it’s own terminal and they are spread all over Metro Manila and not to say they stop everywhere and anywhere to pickup customers. Our restaurant is facing the road, I had seem such crazy stunt, fast speed driving, emergency stopping, 1 point turn in 6 feet wide road, with those moves they could put those professional Hollywood stuntman in shame. They are some decent premier bus service like Florida and Victory bus liner, when I say decent bus service the key factor is the bus driver who drove the bus and also the company ability to inoculated to the bus driver the mentally capacity that the safety of passenger lies in their hand or before driving go through a visualization hypnosis exercise that every trip he take his loves one, mother is sitting inside the bus. Special $$ bonus incentive for the driver every year a least they know they need to last that long and be alive to collect the $$.
Lastly the driver mental capacity to understand that in reality they are driving a bus, not a plane, tank, F1 formula racing car or stuntman. The driver himself also had the enlightenment, spiritual awareness that BUS don't kill THEY do.
