I've spent 30 years repairing vehicles. I think it's time for a change. I want this guy's job destroying things; no customers to satisfy. It has to be a great stress reliever!
What a horrid waste of a good bus!! The GMC RTS II Advanced Design bus was and still is the MOST durable coach GM ever built. As for scrap value, the body panels are worth about $200 each. The windows about $300 each The door engines even as rebuilable cores about $150. The HVAC package over $2000. The engine core about $2500. The transmission another $2500. Who ever sent this bus to be dismantled in this way was a FOOL!!
Before I retired I used to work for a transit district which had these babies. LOVED to work on them. GM had created one of the very best buses it ever built. 2-3 million miles of city operation was not unheard of.
+Wayne Alan I don't know much about these buses but having worked in a breakers yard for a long time, I can see there are a lot of useful parts which are just being wasted , sad times,
+Wayne Alan I used to work in the transit industry and agencies can get federal $$$ to buy new buses whether they need them or not. When it comes to free $$$ from the government, it's a case of "Use it or lose it". However, its' also a huge -and I mean HUGE- waste of both financial and material resources.
As an unfortunate regular customer of New York city's MTA bus, I find this video very soothing for the soul, the dysfunction that is MTA is absurd. Notice how the operator kept picking on the drivers seat location.. I guess he's a customer too!!
i was mislead by the title... i came here from a SSI video, expecting to see a bus go through a shredder.. skipped all through the video, no shredder, then i look at the caption to say it's "preparing a bus to get shredded"... let down
This is so cool. I have watched this video a few times already. I had a family come over my home to watch it with us. We all enjoyed it and decided to share it with another family who is willing to drive 3 hours to watch it with us. Guess you can't go wrong with this video. It's very nice to see that a great video can get do great reviews. I will be watching it again tonight with our neighbor.
That's an "RTS" transit bus which has a unitized body and frame. They are very strong and to qualify for federal transit administration funding, they must pass a 4000 Lb. side impact test.
***** Transit agencies can get funding (70% of the cost) from the federal government to buy new buses every 12 years. That encourages agencies to just scrap their existing buses instead of maintaining and rebuilding. It's a huge waste resources
+Lefty McStinky Actually they make EXCELLENT conversions to motor homes. I did one to the one I bought and it is the quietest motor home I've ever ridden in.
PlyingFiddle260 because we are men and we love strong machines. And we love to watch other men penetrating and destroying things. Not only in porn movies....lol
it's crazy, you know. You see these big buses on the road or Highway and think "that bus looks so heavy, it's huge" yet here's a crane tossing it around like a toy... damn.
They'll have taken any bits deemed to be worth saving off it before it gets fed to this machine. Working parts are worth a lot more than shredded scrap. This is a cheap way of dealing with the residue thats left after they've removed the valuable bits.
Can't believe I sat through the entire 15 minute video. Mesmerizing. For some reason this reminded me strongly of the scene in Jurassic Park (the first one) where the T.Rex flips the SUV and then starts ripping it apart, ripping bits off it etc.
That is a waste of parts. Where I work we have a coach that is currently off the road due to it having a blown turbo, but we can't get any parts for it because nobody saves the parts because they just crush them for fun.
That was a terrible on what they did to that bus. It looked like it could have been fix, there didn’t look like any thing was wrong with it, it even had a motor. They probable couldn’t start it up so they scrap it.
+chris logan Yep. best and structurally the strongest bus ever manufactured. 30', 35', 40' and 45' (45' was a custom order only 12 of them ever made) 5 foot modular sections of stainless steel with a pair of stainless steel guide rails for assembly.
It's like some nature show. "Once the prey has been killed the predator must finish his meal quickly as to not attract scavengers. Naturally the predator starts with the tastiest parts first." "The bulldozers will have to wait their turn"
Dam do those buses take a pounding! Did you guys see that bucket loader PLOW INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUS?! How come they remove the wheels on the cars but NOT the buses??
They should have provided it to developing countries. Indian railways provided their Metre Gauge locomotives and coaches to some African countries and South Asian countries when they decided to expand the Broad Gauge rail network.
+Cacharroteca NOS I agree, that was a terrible on what they did to that bus. It looked like it could have been fix, there didn’t look like any thing was wrong with it, it even had a motor. They probable couldn’t start it up so they scrap it.
+Tim L No sir. The average life span of a bus typically is about 15-20 years. After that time, the frames and bodies develop stress cracks. My company uses x-ray on the frames. NJDOT comes in and determines whether or not the bus gets a new sticker. If it does not pass their tests? The bus get's put out of service. So you can't just look at the this video and say, nothing wrong with the bus.
Wow… I didn’t think they did that to determine that the bus would have to taking off the road if it didn`t pass. I wondered what then did with all the old buses because I never seen any,.. any wear. Now I know that they go to the scrap yard to get re-cycled. Thank you for telling me that.
+Tim L well on the flip side of this, the scrap yards will gladly sell the buses as long as they hold the title to a private individual. in some cases, they take them to club meets where other bus fans own their own buses. some buses even get turned into more motor homes.
Wooah! When you said shredded i didn't think you meant it literally. It's surprisingly rare to get footage of something getting completely ripped apart. Usually people film a minute of maybe a gas axe at work and then move on.......
Gives me an idea for a Reality TV show: Pack a bus (outfitted with live video cameras) full of senior citizens who think they've won a free trip to the local casino. Then have the bus take a detour through the Junkyard of Hell!! 😨😱😈
In the time it took to just remove the roof of the bus it could have probably scrapped 3 cars. Kinda highlights how much safer it is to ride a bus vs a car.
You know since the Scooby-Doo Gang's 50-year-old Mystery Machine van had been driven for years since 1969, it seems it's time for that crummy old vehicle to get DESTROYED!!!!!! (In Vyond)
There really isn't much metal on this buses, we had several of them that we sent to the scrapper with no engine or transmission in it. and when all was said and done we got 200 a piece for them, the frame is stainless steel, aluminum and fiber glass shell. We ended up selling them to private parties for more money than the scrap yard gave us. The best way would have been to set it on fire and clean up the mess afterwards, the aluminum melts pretty good. Seen a few burn to the ground.

That guy must love his job it looks like so much fun
it's really hard to not see them as like dinosaurs or like great mechanical beasts
Cool job :)
that was a nice 1996 TMC RTS nova bus :(
I played it backwards...looks like you made a bus to me from shreds
I'm gonna be sick! Such harshness to a beloved RTS
Smash that crap up - that was junk!
heelfan1234
It could well have been a flood victim or something nasty like that, no use keeping it around!
Aussie50 Good call, we must get rid of junk to make way for new vehicles.
***** The old ones are shit, they pollute and use more fuel. Break them all for scrap!
getting paid for having fun. the best job ever
There is some kind of satisfaction to be had watching this..
* _sniff!_ * Ya can't help but get a little choked up, seeing the ol' gal go...
The poor bus!

@@jackster330 I wonder why they drove 3 hours to watch a bus demo vid somewhere else. Don't they have You Tube!
Playing a claw machine in a nutshell
Damn! that man has a beautiful machine control... he makes the act of shredding look like a fine and delicate art :3
The actual shredding is done by another machine that uses a 6000 Hp. motor to grind up the remains.
Well I really don't know much about this kind of machines but I liked what I saw :P
This video takes me back to some of the old sy/fy movies of the 50’s/60’s! That machine operator probably sleeps better at night that I do!

DAMN! I wish I had that job
New York had a lot of these during the late '80s up to mid '90s.
Cool yet somehow heartbreaking
It's like watching a giant metal animal picking at the corpse of their prey. The worker driving is a master of his craft. It's beautiful.
I dont know why But i like watching cars , buses, trucks etc, being destroyed.
me too LOL
Because you're a man and it's AWESOME!
Yeaah!
me too...porn cars...
PlyingFiddle260 because we are men and we love strong machines.
And we love to watch other men penetrating and destroying things.
Not only in porn movies....lol
it's crazy, you know. You see these big buses on the road or Highway and think "that bus looks so heavy, it's huge" yet here's a crane tossing it around like a toy... damn.
i feel you bro. the claw machine always drops my prizes
I"d like to see this video in reverse. LOL
I imagine being in the back of that bus while that goes down is what being in a T-Rex attack would be like.
They'll have taken any bits deemed to be worth saving off it before it gets fed to this machine. Working parts are worth a lot more than shredded scrap. This is a cheap way of dealing with the residue thats left after they've removed the valuable bits.
Looks like Speed 3 was canceled :P
I think you missed the point of the joke
+Colin Donovan LOL!! More modern version of a GM Bus would be very correct in Speed 3
+Colin Donovan This IS Speed 3 :D
No, Not THAT bus !!!
I love this! It's probably the second most fun thing that can happen on or to a bus.
the death of bus :(
Just looking at that RTS get beat up like that hurted my feelings so bad
May that RTS rest in piece...
Rye bus born unknown
Died June 11 2012
May you have a nice long femin the big bus station in heaven

Awesome!, gotta keep on shredding :D. love the way it hits the ground and one of the tires lets go!

lol Twilight
Omg bronies run there gonna grind us XD

:(, what a waste indeed.

The derpy pug it is for broken cars so you're an idiot my mom's boyfriend channel is this
Jay your the idiot, you can't f***ing spell
So it's like playing a prize claw game for a living: you miss your target half the time, and when you don't miss, all you get is junk.
As a waste management consultant, I'm very impressed with the new version of. Equipment
I wondered where my bus went. I only nipped into Mc Donalds for a burger.
I WANT THAT JOB!!!!
+MissPickletoes Right?!? Me, too!
+MissPickletoes To quote future Bart Simpson- "I cant believe they PAY me to do this!"
OMFG IKR
hi
That bus sure as hell gave that claw a pretty good work out!
That was a terrible on what they did to that bus. It looked like it could have been fix, there didn’t look like any thing was wrong with it, it even had a motor. They probable couldn’t start it up so they scrap it.
Damn it man,as bad as I want one to convert!!!
Imagine if there are still passengers inside. Helpless, and strapped to their seats.
This looks like a fun job.
move to the back of the bus! that was an RTS the toughest work horse out of any transportation system. It took a while for that machine to mangle it.
+chris logan Yep. best and structurally the strongest bus ever manufactured. 30', 35', 40' and 45' (45' was a custom order only 12 of them ever made) 5 foot modular sections of stainless steel with a pair of stainless steel guide rails for assembly.
Why does this bring me so much joy ?
I used to do that, I miss my old job.
That bus is Busted!!!!
I didn't expect to see you here.
HDXFH расстреляю
This guy has the best job ever!
Every man's dream job! Thanks for the post.
No passengers survived this wrong turn....
Linus- "You didn't say you were gonna kill it!!"
*WHY DOES MY LITERAL FAVORITE BUS IN THE WORLD HAVE TO BE ABUSED TO DEATH LIKE THIS*
after that claw clang there goes the mega punch 😂😂
how did i get here? i need to be doing my homework, and i just watched a 15 minute video of a bus getting shredded!
+TF2Player By clicking on the video, otherwise you wouldn't of made a comment.
I think one of the passengers in the bus pulled the "Stop Requested" cable during this procedure.
I used to love going to scrapyards with my dad as a kid...
It's like some nature show. "Once the prey has been killed the predator must finish his meal quickly as to not attract scavengers. Naturally the predator starts with the tastiest parts first." "The bulldozers will have to wait their turn"
Looks like that bus is letting the machine know what time it is. It took almost all that machine had to scrap it.
@1:43
bus: "pull my hair daddy" 😂😭
@stephen Sanchez 😂😂😂🔥🔥
thats sad to see old buses getting junked like that.
Nothing can escape the claw of destruction!!!!!!
I remember when those RTS IIs were the latest thing from GM Truck and Coach.
They need to make a shredder that will fit one whole!
"Your bus will be a few minutes late due to some slight mechanical issues."
This is a job I could love.
You get to destroy all kinds of stuff and play with the big boy toys to get the job done.
A BUS. A TRAIN. A PLANE. THEY ARE AL HOLLOW INSITE. IF YOU MADE THE SHREDDER BIG AS NEEDED. I MAILT ALREADY TO SOME FACTORIES
Dam do those buses take a pounding! Did you guys see that bucket loader PLOW INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUS?! How come they remove the wheels on the cars but NOT the buses??
THEEEEEEEE CLAWWWWWWWWW
The three Pizza Planet aliens from Toy Story would say this when the see this machine
You have the BEST job!👍
The worst job you mean
job satisfaction right there
This looks like fun, I want to do that. I all about recycling, let me recycle shit out of some cars!
jkmkm
Shred a Sherman tank next !
They should have provided it to developing countries. Indian railways provided their Metre Gauge locomotives and coaches to some African countries and South Asian countries when they decided to expand the Broad Gauge rail network.

those claw games always drop the stuffed animals!
Its like watching Animal Planet. A predator and its prey.

this is my dream job.
At first the bus was like, hey Dude!
Then the excavader was like, fresh meat...!
Bus...nooooo!
Excavader...burp....that was delicious
this is what happens when a rock star OD's on his tour-bus.

That bus is getting shredded into pieces

I work on a scrapyard and I can tell you guys, it IS fun to tear apart buses.
fun watching 😆
That RTS would've made a great rv conversion. What a waste of a bus that had full potential.
