So I ' m trying to scramble up on the grill ( not a good idea ) to get a better look and sure enough there go local LEO , lights flashing , sirens blaring escorting a number of buses through the light . Well no we was n't close enough to see inside the buses to see what important dignitaries might be inside . We were n't privy to to what elite members of society may have occupied those buses that deserved such a red carpet roll out . No sir , if your on the road when them air conditioned buses drinking up the gas that you ca n't find come hauling through escorted by Police then you gots to pull over .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
Why did they think there were elite people on the bus ?


They had police escorts .
