Saw a bus towing a bus today

I was traveling today and saw two school busses, each was towing another school bus down the interstate at 70 mph.
I did not think they would have had the power to do this. I wish I had been able to get a picture. I just thought I would post this for all those that want to tow something big.

It's how school districts now are reducing their staffing costs (only one driver needed for two busloads of sprogs) and fuel. Next year we'll be seeing roadtrains of school buses.

Were there kids in the towed bus. I can't imagine that would be legal. There would still have to be an adult in the tow to keep an eye on the brats. Perhaps the bus was broke down or it was a new delivery. How big were the buses?

Humor is lost on so many.

They weren't being towed.........they were mating. That's how school buses are made.

May your very last meal come from the NBC Commissary. GIILLIG breath.

See humor isn't lost on all of us.
The mating school bus made me smile.

"Gillig Breath." I like it! May I use it for my superhero alter ego handle?

Glad there are still some people that appreciate the late Johnny Carson's humor.

See um all the time heading to Mexhico down this way. I guess the cartel uses them to block the streets down there.

Sorry Charles that bus was not towing; it was being pushed.

The ones going to Mexico look sharp after they are redone to Mexico standards new pink,yellow and green paints jobs,fuzzy dice on the outside mirrors,the livestock deck on the top and last of all the sleeping berth for the extra driver in the back lounge

You guys are a riot! I'd like to know how can you tell the gender of the mating buses?

I wonder what kind of lubricating oil they use also

Only 40W...

School bus gender can be determined in one of 2 ways. The male tends to have more black than yellow. The female tends more often than not to have aluminum wheels as opposed to steel.
