KSRTC Mercedes Benz Daring Overtake on Narrow Road

- It had been a long time since I did a 'follow the bus' routine, and so decided to do it with the Mercedes-Benz tri-axle Airavat Club Class service running on the Chikmagalur-Bangalore route. This is a (slightly) newly introduced service, a direct result of Scania Metrolink HD buses which replaced these Mercs on a few routes.
Not surprisingly though, drivers get a little too excited by all that power on tap, and what with being the biggest and most powerful bus on the route, they try to intimidate every other vehicle on the road. Especially the Chikmagalur-Hassan stretch which is a 2-lane highway. Watch how this beast overtakes another KSRTC bus on a tank bund road, after having followed it for a long while. Dangerous to say the least, but I guess he did what he did and the unspoken understanding between drivers meant that the manoeuvre was successful.
For the people who comment like know-it-alls: You can't possibly know whether this was dangerous or not more than someone who was ACTUALLY there, who knows the kind of road this is and everything else that comes with it. So before commenting, read the description, THINK and then comment. Kindly do not waste your time, and mine.

Ksrtc is no 1 transportation in India.. proud for kannadigas
Best thing about this video is the video quality and location.
The clouds and skies further complement the video
Brilliant overtaking yet so dangerous
KSRTC number one transport in India
Karnataka sarige is better than any other buses of Karnataka because the way they drive bus looks like adventures and amazing especially in mountain range and one of the best public transport in India
Superb driving
WoW! Awesome video! :)
KSRTC, in particular BCD-D2 have maintained Benz buses really well compared to Volvos. The overtake by a blue Alto was insane!!
That merc benz bus has better acceleration than ur car 🤣🤣
410 hp and 2100 nm of torque isn't a joke buddy
ನಿಂತ್ರೆ ರಥ....
ಹೊರಟ್ರೆ ಐರಾವತ....
I was watching the nature...it is superb
The driver clearly had visibility over the curve, so he made sure no vehicle is coming on the right, and then he took over. This is ok for experienced drivers. The Red bus driver is not stupid too, he drives in the maximum speed of 60 and hates even reducing 1 km in the speed.
its magadi lake near chikmagalur(chikmaglur belur road)
nice! as thrilling as this can be, it is quite risky as well, experienced a similar overtake years ago, when a Pondy bound KSRTC Volvo , overtook my TNSTC express bus (Volvos were newly introduced on that route apparently), happened somewhere in a 2 lane territory, between Krishnagiri and Tiruvannamalai. Was unforgettable.
Great effort to capture good simple things in life keep it up bro
+Anil S Thanks a lot!
But you did similar overtaking, and were tailgating the bus. Except 4:39, I don't see much problem with the Airavat Driver.
Great driving... Great capture as always... :-P
That's a neat overtake, I travel on the Mysore - Trissur route by volvo, No doubt the drivers are skilled, it is a pleasure to watch them handle the Sathyamangalam ghats (Dimbam Ghats) Handling such long chassis is a task no wonder these beasts have huge power on tap. Good video , Thanks.
Wow!! The way it overtook KSRTC SKS on the curve was superb MB buses are best
+Vishal Jawalkar - only thing was it was an opposite curve and therefore dangerous
+Vishal Jawalkar Yes, its superb unless you are on the other end of the curve coming in opposite direction, that would be awesome. Moreover this bus is running without brake lights which is in violation of law.
+alfistasubbie Running without brake light and indicators is very common in ksrtc buses, and the way he overtook that SKS had become common because they have reach the destination in time
To hell with their "driving"skills. One small brush with an oncoming vehicle..one crazy pedestrian cutting across..one skid at the irregular sides of the road... you end up in deaths, irreversible damages, broken necks... what not
Safety is the last thing in our people's priorities
Sundararajan Srinivasan Well Spoken!

Dheeraj Rao the Panaromic ride captured well. asking u out curiosity, is it a Go pro u used for this n if so which is the one??
abhilash punnora
Panasonic HC-V750 camcorder.
Dheeraj Rao I appreciate & thank you very much.
What a nice speed and only there was only back part of the bus and chasing also takes place the bus is shown so nice all places are villages and towns and small way to travel
Usually bus drivers in dakshina kannada district looks like a ghosts on road if u travel from blore in any KA19,20,21 series buses ull feel it definately
By driving fast you can reach 15 - 30 mins early but is it worth risking life for just few early minutes
I M KANNADIAN and in my state all are super riders best of now but in bus it was dangerous but who's taking this vedio he/she could have show speedometer in the vedio then people will get to know how speed bus going, but thx for you're vedio
This is chikmagalur to belur road really very narrow road
Ksrtc gives good and daring training with expert trainer alongwith humanity and passengers responsibility to reach their safe destination.Hence to travel ksrtc buses only.
he overtook that bus cleanly only. I am a routine traveler in VOLVO & Benz Multi Axle buses, due to their ;length and size they have to overtake bis buses in wide, or else the back side would touch the front of the other long vehicles. see for yourself how long vehicles overtake. don't blame the driver/drivers who driving safe.
Super overtake . Video clearity superb....
Surely the roads can be improved and white markings be initiated. Shoulder markings too.
Is this the Chikmagalur to Hassan route?
In the end he was going like a rocket
this is chikmanglore - Bangalore highway
Awesome overtaked by airavat bus
Foolish comment.. It's a suicide to overtake any vehicle.
What kind of camera did you use to film this and kind of file did you render it as? The quality is excellent.
I use a Panasonic HC-V750 camcorder and render the movie as a 50p MP4 file.
Awesome weather and skilled bus driver.
Hey, great video! Can I use a 10 second clip from your video for a 1 min time-lapse mashup? Will be credited. Thanks!
Hello, sure. Please mention credits and do send me a link to the finished work. Would like to see it. :)
Thanks.
Nice one! btw, vch car u were in?
Excellent video. Beautiful countryside. Which camera did you use ??
Panasonic HC V750

What is Dangerous in this ?? Looks like he is a skilled driver.
How is it different from what you did (that too by taking the video at the same time ? assumed you are driving ) ?
1. There is absolutely NO way you can conclude whether it was dangerous or not unless (a) you have driven on this route and/or (b) you saw this maneuver in person.
2. I'm a responsible videographer and road user. I'm not retarded enough to drive behind buses whilst holding a camera in hand at the same time.
Also, kindly try to read the descriptions of videos and try to make sense of the context. We don't put up descriptions to decorate our videos.
Also, most of the people (who have put comment) is asking where is the dangerous thing in this video. Why are they asking that question ?
Only wrong thing they have mentioned is no light, which is not mentioned in your description also.
Route mentioned in description check it out..!!
Back red braking light is missing... Mercedes bus and no back lights????
superb driving!!
both are great drivers
Driver knows what he actually doing, and its their regular job on regular roads...so i didnt found anything dangerous in this...what i like is the scenic view 😅
Guys who does'nt driving always says not dangerous but a nice compilation dheeraj rao
This road is from chikmagalur to belur?
chikmagalore drivers kanro
Magadi handpost
Chickmaglur to Belur road
I would say you really drove well especially during 2:14 - 2:19
Yes it's true fact .
Iam a native of magadi a village appear in between chickmagalore and belur .
I agree that road was tank bund short . Too bad and so many accident are met in every year .
But one thing I will appreciate i.e the bus of scania company is so good and better.
The two buses leave chickmagalore in 4.30 both drivers are very speed .
well said sir
But this one is mercedes benz
Power of KSRTC to Chikmagalur
I'm surprised with most comments lauding this as daring... There is nothing daring with racing on the road. It's foolishness. Think of having to loose someone you love the most to some daring driver...
Very true. But every time I commented on the same lines, I was ridiculed by many, sometimes with bad words. As a Neurosurgeon, I have treated more than 5000 accident victims over 20 years, and I know the devastation that they cause to the families and individuals
La circulation en Inde, cela doit être une curiosité. A voir.
Super fast drive

darling work bri
ckm to belur road . ryt
super
Which camera did u used to shoot this video?
nice
Why no 4 lane road?? So much space to widen..
Edit the description. it's not dangerous, the driver was well within his control and the redbus driver gave him enough way and slowed down a little till he overtook.
It was in fact dangerous, and it all ended well because both the bus driver AND the trucker let him finish the maneuver. Also, this was done on a tank bund road where the slightest miscalculation would've resulted in one vehicle making a nice big splash in the lake. Kindly do not instruct me to edit anything unless you were there in person and saw the whole thing unfold.
That is Karnataka driving
awesome. draving
what a scenery... (y)
Which place is this?
Guhan Baskar chickmagaluru Hassan. highway...
Guhan Baskar chikmagalur !

+sibi john Could you please spare a few seconds and actually go through the description?
Dheeraj Rao ok
ksrtc best transport in india
V good
A bus drive straight from hell, the road is too narrow for high speed driving and manouvering. Driver overtakes even on curves, and at these speeds hogs the whole road.
good drivers best
hhahhahahaa....in the whole video ... i kept on finding the dangerous part.... bdw this overtaking is normal for us Indians... 😂
Which route is this bus??
Read the description.
