Around here (some/most?) busses are fitted with GPS systems. The allows the support center to know or track at all times where the busses are. As I understand the issue is not busses going to fast, but that busses should not be ahead of schedule when leaving each stop. Before the GPS sometimes a driver would drive ahead of schedule so that when they got to a designated rest area on the route they would have more downtime. Most passengers want the bus to be on or slightly behind schedule, but not ahead of schedule.
