In the 1994 film Speed, what is the minimum speed at which the bus must travel before the bomb on board is detonated?
"Jon Voight, about a train that speeds out of control. The film was based on an idea by Akira Kurosawa. Elwy mistakenly believed that the train's situation was due to a bomb on board. Such a theme had in fact been used in the 1975 Japanese film ""The Bullet Train"". After seeing the Voight film, Graham decided that it would have been better if there had been a bomb on board a bus with the bus being forced to travel at 20 mph to prevent an actual explosion. A friend suggested that this be increased to 50 mph. The film's"
"at rush hour, the bus has to keep its speed over 50 mph (80 km/h) or the bomb on the bus will detonate. Two humorous slogans Santa Monica Bank used on Big Blue Buses appeared in the film. The bus operator in the movie is called the ""Santa Monica Intercity Bus Lines"", a barely fictionalized version of the Big Blue Bus's official name, the Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines. Even more tellingly, the bus in the film is a General Motors ""New Look"" bus, introduced in 1959 but kept in prominent and active service by Santa Monica until early 2005,"
"Dougal, entranced with his new job, does not seem to notice. Mustard calls Ted from a phone booth, informing him that he has rigged the milk float with a bomb that will arm if the float exceeds 4 miles per hour, and then explode if it falls below 4 miles per hour. Dropping the phone, Ted races to catch up to Dougal to warn him, but the float has already passed 4 miles per hour, meaning the bomb is armed. While driving the float, Dougal sees a pyramid of cardboard boxes ahead on the road. Ted drives his car to"

She and Paul convince everyone to leave the bus and the cars by telling them that there is a bomb inside the bus.

"and increases safety in the process. On all non-urban roads and motorways, school buses and vehicles containing contaminant, explosive or flammable materials must decrease their speed limit by 10 km/h. On motorways, a minimum speed of 60 km/h is mandatory for all kinds of vehicles. Minimum speeds in the rest of roads are one half of the generic speed limit for every vehicle. If a posted speed limit sign is below this value, the minimum speed is the posted limit minus 10 km/h. No legal sanction is established for driving within 10 percent over the speed limit, depending on the"

The bus was travelling at 67.6 kilometres per hour, in a zone where the speed limit was 60 kilometres per hour, before the brakes were applied. The bus' brakes were applied 3 seconds before the crash, though the full force of the brakes was not initially applied. The collision sheared off the front end of the bus and derailed the train. Five people were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, including the bus driver, and one"

He realized that using ""minimum"" would immediately apply a negative connotation to the title, and simply renamed it to ""Speed"". Yost's initial script would have the film completely occur with the bus; there was no initial elevator scene, the bus would have driven around Dodgers Stadium due to the ability to drive around in circles, and would have culminated with the bus running into the Hollywood"
