Probably time for a new master cylinder.

So I am at the light and the Bus decides it wants to die. I think about it then
decide I need to check the timing but I notice that it's running fine. Then
I try to stop hard and I feel the pedal go all the way to where it should and
feel complete resistance but I am still rolling to a stop.
I noticed a push rod leak about a week ago so I bled the brakes and noticed
that the leak is worse last night. Today some A-hole pulled out in front of me
and I couldn't stop luckily no one was in the lane next to me...
Coincidence?
