start from city A an old passenger got ill and the driver took him to the
nearby hospital immediately. So the bus started after 30 minute of its
scheduled time. Taking care of full safety and control the driver increased
the speed of the bus by 4km/h and reached city B at the scheduled time. Find
the original speed of the bus. What moral values are shown by the driver?
