Seen here is the brothel bus, a whorehouse on wheels that was just busted in Miami Beach. The fare was $40 to board but I'd imagine a (ahem) ride costs extra. Seven people are now faced with felony charges. From WIOD:
 Cc-Common Mlib 1175 06 1175 1214425118"(The bust) wasn't even planned," says Miami FBI spokesperson Judy Orihuela. "The agent and the detective were walking down Miami Beach and they were asked by these young ladies to join them on the bus..."

"I have heard that the owners of this bus, they do travel around the country," adds Orihuela. "So they probably have shown up in other parts of the country."

    Now those are some dumb hookers. I bet their pimp beat them good.

    “Brothels on wheels” have proliferated due to the increasing use of GPS tracking on long-haul trucks.

    Used to be, a trucker could drive a couple of miles offroad to a backwoods brothel, spend a couple of hours shagging the ladies, then resume his trip, barreling down the Interstate to make up lost time.

    Now, with GPS tracking, diversions from the designated route and speeding to make up lost time aren’t feasible any more.

    Since the truckers can’t go to the brothels, the brothels come to the truckers.

    Do they play a jingle as they drive by?

  • cstatman

    wow, that makes my my elementary school bus seem positively boring.

    but you could honestly sing the “hooray for the bus driver” song, I suppose…..

    How did they know the bus schedule and route?

    Loved the cheesy heart-shape wipe he used for video transitions… But overall, I’d have to give the video tour a thumbs down. Where’s the brass pole? The hookers?

    “the johns on the bus go up and down… up and down…up and down…”

    Your comment instantly gave me the mental image of a black bus cruising by with a “bwomp-chikka-bwom-bwom” 70s porn groove emitting from the overhead bullhorns.

    I wonder how many of these people will be moving on to Ryanair’s new service, beds and blowjobs:

    The real Bang Bus!

  • wisekwai

    Reminds me of the film What Alice Found, about prostitutes travelling the country in a Winnebago.

    I never looked at RVs parked at rest areas the same.

    “Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking whores on this motherfucking bus!”

    -possible catch phrase from “Whores on a Bus”. Samuel L. Jackson could play the pimp.
