s****m 发帖数: 5244 | 1 BOSTON — The federal government has ordered the discount Fung Wah bus
service between New York and Boston to shut down so officials can inspect
the company's entire fleet.
The announcement Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration comes after Massachusetts officials
found serious problems with eight buses, including cracks in their frames.
The company had already agreed to take 21 buses off the road, but the
federal order removes all 28 from service for "thorough and detailed safety
inspections by qualified inspectors."
The company operates between the Chinatown neighborhoods of Boston and New
York. It has a history of troubles, including a $31,000 fine in 2006 for
safety violations linked to a rollover in Auburn that injured dozens of
passengers.
