After Bronx Crash, a Bus Fleet Stays on the Road
In the months after a bus crash on Interstate 95 killed 15 people in the Bronx, federal officials were so concerned about the operation of the bus company, World Wide Travel, that they revoked its registration. But the disciplinary action seems to have had little practical effect.

The owner, Michael Shub, continues to book passengers on buses through two other companies that he owns and that share the same address in Brooklyn that World Wide Travel used.

The shuttered company’s buses are also still on the road; they were simply shifted to Mr. Shub’s other bus operations, according to state officials.

World Wide Travel was shut in June after the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration uncovered serious safety violations. The agency also cited the company’s failure to improve after the crash on March 12, in which one of its charter buses returning from the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut went out of control on I-95.

So this corporation did NOT get a proper execution. Does that mean that corporations are immortal people?
