This one's so simple it flies clean over the heads of most viewers. Though we see a lot of overhead glimpses of the Santa Monica bus' roof and general exterior, it's easy to miss that the bus bears the designation "2525."

As in, 25 + 25 = 50. As in, 50 miles per hour, the speed after which the bomb on the bus becomes armed. Get it?

Now, it's certainly possible that this was a mere coincidence, but it would indeed have to be quite the bout of luck considering the immaculate attention-to-detail employed by de Bont in basically every aspect of the film's production.
