School bus pre-trip and drive: 2018 Thomas C2, hydraulic brakes, exhaust brake
zhlédnutí 25KPřed 6 měsíci
A wet, foggy morning in northern NJ with Bus 1811. We pre-trip the bus and deadhead to the first pickup. This student caught me by surprise and I almost passed their pickup, as they are rarely there in the morning! This is one of a set of C2's we acquired recently. It hasn't been fitted with Child Check-Mate yet. See if you can find the one time I used the exhaust brake in the initial drive. Th...

Please leave the company's name out of any comments 💝 2017 MCI D4500CT bus 17233 leased from NJ Transit. This run makes 5 pickups in Morris County NJ, crosses into NYC via the Lincoln Tunnel, and makes dropoffs along 7th Avenue, Varick Street, and Broadway, all the way to the southern tip of Manhattan. Recent increases in ridership prompted dispatch to split the 5 pickups across 2 buses, and to...

Dover to Mountain Lakes deadhead, NJ commuter coach head cam engine audio Cummins ISX12
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 10 měsíci
I don't do this run too often (Mountain Lakes - Boonton - Arlington Plaza), in fact this is the first time I've done it since we recently restored service to/from Arlington Plaza Park & Ride. I was planning on switching to the stationary GoPro mount in Mountain Lakes, but a passenger got the jump on me by being at the first stop. Usually we can just lay over there for a few minutes before start...
MCI D4500CT engine audio coach bus drive - Cummins ISX12
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 10 měsíci
By popular demand, I'm seeing if I can enhance the engine audio on the videos. Here is today's sunrise run, with a single pickup in Warren Park & Ride and into the Port Authority Bus Terminal. The video covers from leaving the pickup until we hit beast traffic on the NJ Turnpike due to an accident in Kearny. I am planning to shoot the next one with a mike mounted on the exterior of the bus - ho...

Commuter bus run in Parsippany NJ, driver view, MCI D4500CT
zhlédnutí 3KPřed 11 měsíci
No comments relating to the identity of the bus carrier please. Here's a morning deadhead to first pickup at Waterview Park & Ride in Parsippany, NJ, in bus 17210. I found a decent mounting point for the GoPro, still needs tweaking due to the sunshade cutting off the forward-looking view. My GoPro stopped recording as we were pulling out of the Park & Ride. I'm not sure why, it may have been du...

I ain't going to lie but it's not a bad bus but i like blue bird busses there my favorite i also like the Thomas busses as well
love the sound of that diesel engine and the hydraulic brakes
It looks annoying to wait for a another bus driver to get back in and he parked right in the way
There are sooo many things that are more annoying 😂 as a school bus driver ya gotta learn a lot of patience 💪🏻
@@yitznewton it looked annoying you even tried to get threw a little but he could have parked to the side
Buses shouldnt be driving in the far left lane. That is the reason there is traffic
It can be. It isn't always. If you post your favorite timestamps, we can analyze the traffic patterns at each one
There's traffic in places where there aren't any buses. People driving slow, camping in the left lane, and trucks all make traffic worse. If more people took public transportation, there'd be less traffic.
This is making me laughing it’s like the school bus has the hiccups lol so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love that V8 sound!
46:54 I thought buses weren’t allowed in Holland Tunnel.
video suggestion for you: Thomas Built Buses FS65 or C2 close by the front window on the passenger side
37:35 "Asshole..." lol
@@user41994 passenger commentary is the best 😂
I would not have the patience to drive in northern NJ especially a bus in NYC
It's an acquired taste!
The day I am given a neon yellow vest and a tablet to drive my bus is the day I find another career path.....
I wish I get older to try that bus I can still drive it with my daddy my dad will drive it
Me too❤
miss the manuals
Dat was fun... def seeing more of ur vids
do u work for nj transit ?
No
VT
Whats the mileage on the bus?
Most of them are around 250k
Wat abt fuel economy ???.... do u get 7 miles to d gallon or is it less??
Unfortunately I don't know
So cool! I’m only 11 so I play school bus Roblox games and I’d say I operate professionally. I prefer ic buses. Edit: 3:59 made me laugh so hard😂
Can you drive for New Jersey Transit
I could apply to work for them; I believe they have their own training program I'd need to go through. As far as I know they only hire full timers, and new hires get stuck with the poo routes
@@yitznewton lol okay
Great video. Do you recall there being any other symptoms other than the clicking? And what made you sell your prius? Cause I'm thinking of doing the same lol
Ok I would like to see school bus backseat ride on the left side
Hi
Please conduct your child search now wasn't heard with system
That's exactly what my school bus checkmate system sounded like
I would also like to be a school bus driver but there is only one small problem I am from Mexico but you never know maybe someday I will go to the United States I have always seen that working as a first student is very well paid and has a very good working environment but until that day comes I will continue to watch videos about everything related to this topic.
One of the drivers on our team is from Mexico. Keep the dream alive!
@@yitznewton I will do it thanks✌
First student bus and turning not using the push and pull method ? Hmmmm. Cross view mirrors adjusted improperly ? Drive safe mate
Do the hazarads turn on atuomaticlly when the door opens
Yes they do
Anyone in 2023 2024
Nerves of steel!
Truth, it's not for the faint of heart 😂
God dam! Semi fire! hope the driver(s) and everyone involved was okay, and of course the shi* had to be right near the F***en NJ Turnpike oh man! looks like he lost control veered left? terrible man. Shi*!
I wasn't able to find out any specifics of what happened
I assume this is auto-transmission, if so - Prior to a steep curve or downgrade do you have to put your foot on the service brake and hold in order to downshift to say gear 1 or 2? or is that not even necessary and do you simply just shift the gear shifter into a lower gear? thanks! & this town looks kind of nice during autumn.
The commuter coaches work like you describe, there's an engine brake that comes on when you apply the service brake, and the transmission selects 2nd gear. The school buses, you can manually select a lower gear, but it's usually not necessary unless it's a long downgrade
Boy, Manhattan is a *itch to drive in a car much less a CDL vehicle, I lived in Queens for 27 years I've been living in the Midwest now the way in which people drive in NYC and pretty much everywhere is a stark difference and I'm going for my Class B with S & P endorsements rightnow glad it isn't in NYC lol. NJ sucks too, especially Holland tunnel traffic and some parts of New Ark always never ending construction there lol.😅
One nice thing about driving a bus over a car in NYC is that you have a great vantage point. These downtown runs take us down 7th Ave around 7:15-7:45 which is not too bad... the second run is 30 minutes later and that much worse. Holland Tunnel inbound is just nightmare fuel.
@yitznewton Yeah I mean if it isn't rush hour it's construction, holiday or event traffic I remember sometimes from Manhattan to New Ark it would take 30 min on smooth free flowing traffic & on traffic it would take 1 hour plus. Constant stop n' go lol.
Cockpit view, nice
🧑🏼✈️🫡
Love the sound of tgat screamer
2004 Prius here... got a clicking, sounds like the vent to left of MFD. Only occurs occasionally, and can never get it to happen when parked. :( cycle through all the modes, no clicks, no issues. Finally nailed it down to when center vent used, either center only or center+foot. Air does flow, but I guess vent just can't find it's position. Odd. After seeing this video, gonna try to see what's up thx!

As a Student our bus driver we took a bluebird and bro just ran a red light like it was nothing💀
