The Bus can work without fresh CNG tanks, you just have to avoid going at a fast speed which is probably more than 42 MPH. You can also see that bus with the mechanic exiting College Point almost everyday. |

Speed has nothing to due with an expired tank. The tank leaking is the concern. NYC buses are set for 40 MPH top speed for the most part. |

Is there a point as to way the MTA governs their buses. Are NICE's buses governed too? |

Yes there is a reason, max speed limit in NYC is 50 MPH. On parkways buses are limited to 30 MPH. Locals don't need to be able to do 50. Express buses are able to reach posted speed limits. And if need be they can always be adjusted. |
