I'm amazed at how accurate this is to the actual city. All of the sounds and signs and everything is so spot on.
As my Dad once told me "Buses run for those who wait, they don't wait for those who run."
I like that saying I'm from Jersey. It depends on what city metropolitan area you from. I visit philly SEPTA drivers zoom right pass ppl who flag them down too.
Yup that happens in U.K. where the buses are always late and pay no attention if you are running for the bus!! Once I was running for the bus and I swear the driver saw me but did not stop at the bus stop I was only 10 seconds away!!!!!
in Boston my sisters was running for the 22 and the bus driver stop for her.
Honestly, as a bus driver myself (Katrineholm, Sweden), it all depends on how late you are (it can be a million reasons why).
If you are 5+ mins late or more, stopping for 1 running passenger who flags you down is no biggie, because the timetables I run after are quite..generous in the end. You can be like 5+ mins late on the line and you still make it on time in to your terminus.
But, if you are running let's say 10+ mins late, then a running passenger is not the biggest priority I am afraid. In those situations, the timetable comes first.
Sure, it can seem like a dick move to leave somone running, but we are not even suppose to pick up passengers who not waiting at a bus stop.
@@PTDriver-rv2so If they are late you should be at the bus stop already because they have to leave As soon as they pick up everybody
If the bus is late and you are even more late don’t expect the bus to stop
25:23 There was a train at the station right above you, so nobody opened the door on your bus, it was the train making that "Doors Closing" announcement.
That doesn’t sound like the CTA closing chime. Well at least they tried to get it accurate to the actual doors closing chime so props to them.
They Do that so they wont get in trouble. They Can Get Sued If it was the actual Door chime or if the Buses Had The CTA Logos@@RailandDDLCFan90
When you began, you mentioned the bike rack. This bike rack is actually folded up, which is why we see the advertisement in the front
True bro
I'ma tell you this I live in Chicago and that ain't traffic if you think that's traffic you ain't seen nothing yet
Squirrel you were so late because you missed a stop
Sebbie Henry But surely if I made an extra stop I would be even later
Squirrel It might have helped you time the lights better. Some cities plan their routes with that in mind.
Squirrel Well yea but coz you missed the stop it didnt clock the time down coz missing that stop might make the game think that you haven't got to that stop yet even though the other stop did work
I live in Chicago and they do NOT time the lights. Some lights are timed (not on purpose) so that you hit every red light and there is no way around it. You will be at a red light and the light in front of the light you are at is green. So when you get to the next light it's red
Sebbie Henry 16:17
Usually a "no turn on red" means there is a blind spot on the turn, so if you turn you're not going to see anyone coming until it's to late. So they put the "no turn on red" there to avoid crashes. Also if you're going strait and the person behind you wants to turn, they usually know youre going strait, (you know, commen sense) so they just wait patiently (unless theyre late for work then they start beeping the horn).
I love this OMSI 2 series of chicago. I live in a suburb of chicago and have been on this route. I know pretty much all the stop points. And also, the bike rack is just folded up.
That's interesting having the bike lane between the bus and normal traffic lanes. Must be so much easier for cyclists not having to deal with pedestrians stepping out and cars parked on the bike lane.
I've taken this route before, this is so real.
i haven't been to chicago so i haven't ridden this route or seen the buses in real life i live in louisiana but i do go to houston texas to visit my dad i haven't ridden the transit system there either they r known as Houstom Metro or Metro for short
As a bus driver, I always leave either on time or late.. If you leave early, passengers (at least in Norway) will call the bus company and probably get a taxi ride to their destination, which is quite expensive!
Paul, you don't have to use the line and terminus input menu at 5:17, all you need to do is set it up on the computer. Unless you're not on that map and you use the ibis. Then you would just type in the route number and line number. Hope I helped. Squirrel
No turn on red is usually put in when the cross street traffic is at a speed limit in excess of the street you are on, OR that the corner is blind -- ex. cars that are allowed to park on the right hand side of the street on the cross st, but you pull up to the intersection and have an obstructed view of who might be coming down the road.
+Squirrel No turn on red signs are usually used for intersections that are pretty busy or just hard to get out of. And yes, buses can stay in the right turning lane to go straight and the people behind you just have to wait if they want to turn right on red.
Awesome, really like the look of OMSI so I might pick it up soon.
Contesta
~7:00, when you're talking about the bike rack, there is one. The billboard is the "bottom" of it, and it folds up when not being used.
I know that in some provinces in Canada yellow means stop unless safe to do so, and you can sit in a bus only lane and if someone wants to turn right they have no choice but to wait....love watching your vids Paul especially osmi 2 and ets2 makes this stay in the hospital much more enjoyable!
Perfect timing squirrel, 4th/5th of July. Makes my day complete.
Hey great video. This Chicago bus looks like the ones that I rode on when I was living in Chicago. I actually grew up in Chicago and this bring back memories of me driving down by Navy Pier and driving down Lake Shore Drive. Keep up with the great videos and represented Chicago well in this video
d40lf
Anyone else notice him miss a stop
Me
Me
Me
K Harrison me
Yes
SOWD - - Squirrel's obsessive window disorder :) Thanks for another hillarious OMSI video really made my day :)
The indicators don't cancel as the two button on the floor are used for the indicators so when you are driving the bus you rest your foot on the button and release it when you are done.
The other button is used as a high bean flash.
@squirrel In some states, such as mine, people are permitted to take a right on red. In some other states, you are permitted to take a left on red. Some prohibit from taking any turn on a red, but the state I am in allows turning right on a red, so the US of A is no stranger to turning on a red light in most states.
At around 17 minutes you ask what bus companies do with large amounts of traffic problems and the thing is with some cities they usually have deviation routes to allow the bus on certain lines to maintain a proper schedule.
Nice, puts the heat on when it is 25C inside, epic.
Lol I saw that too
I don't live in Chicago but in Canada we can make right turns at red lights too. Usually if you are in a car, you try to pull up as close as you can to the intersection to give as much room as possible between you and the curb, if there is someone behind you. Although not everyone does that (because you aren't really supposed to). But yah, people just get annoyed but don't honk or anything because they know that the car in front of them isn't allowed to let them through, haha
Actually, in Copenhagen there is a project where the buses "communicates" with the traffic lights so they turn green when a bus comes.
Simon Lund That is in use in literally every major city. Buses can hold green lights longer or make red lights shorter in their favour.
Night + rain in american city looks beautiful! But night at daytime looks good too, I feel more relaxed when driving while raining, the rain sound just makes me relaxed. Great video! Don't have the map, thank you for the videos!
EDIT: Rain at daytime* herp derp :)
The no turns on red thing is often used as a method of reliving congestion in high-traffic intersections where you get a lot of people trying to turn right on a red, thus holding up traffic that has a green light.
Its extremely realistic navy pier was on point man this is awesome
"I'm going to be late for my hot dog, my coffee's getting cold!"
Squirrel step #1 open windows. LOL, We love you SQRL! :) Keep up the good work of making our lives fun.
I wish they would create a full map of Chicago. That'd be really nice and have all the up to date things too like the Loop Link.
Because of the traffic in Chicago there are no bus schedules, there's electronic signs at each stop that say how far away the next bus is.
Love this Series!!! More Please!!
More OMSI 2 video please! Thanks Squirrel.
I was going to say that you missed a stop but it seems like other people have already got that covered. Great video by the way Paul
I really wish SCS could take over this.
RAZAp1501 Why so? What would SCS make better as it is already?
True Cerium Optimise is better, fix bugs and expand into an even better game.
RAZAp1501 I see your point
RAZAp1501 If you've watched squirrel's tour at the SCS offices you can see they're actually working on a coach simulator.
True Cerium lol
Being late or early depends on the route, traffic, driver, and city in America. You can go over the speed limit in cities. Buses some times they can get a pass because their slower then cars of course.
Some lights says "No turn on Red" because usually the building on the other side is blocking the view to turn or something is obstructing the view if you were attempting to turn
Omsi 2 one of the best Simulation Games i love it
ive been to chicago twice now in my 2014 freightliner, last one i delivered some plywood to atena off st. charles st , in chicago .. it's an experience for sure having to deal with 11'0 wide clearance in some places and having to make people move so your spread axle flat bed can make the turns
You can turn right on red depending on the state. I'm pretty sure its allowed in Chicago so you can improve your schedule a bit.
What is actually not uncommon at all to get computers in Chicago with bikes getting on the bus is Hantz them having the racks but I’ve already watched a couple of other videos of this and this is a game that I’m actually very interested in
I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel! Haha great to see it included! Good memories, good memories! :)
1st guy: Morning
Squirrel: Good Morning
2nd Guy: Good Morning
Squirrel: Good Morning
3rd guy: *silence*
Squirrel: Good Morning even though you didnt say it to me scumbag
10:00
27:26 Squirrel: good morning im late get on *laughs*
I was checking just 15 mins ago if he have uploaded a new video, and then i got a notification thats uploaded, great!
At 18:06, I’m staying at The Embassy Suites across from the Sheraton and the intersection looks identical and building design including the gold doors on the right and the tunnel. So cool! 18:09 is where I’m staying on the right.
Also 23:00 real Chicago has light sensors, I guess this game doesn’t have them.
The reason why that intersection has a no turn on red is because the crossing lane has a parking lane and it's more dangerous to cross right when you could miss a car coming from the other side.
Great vid as always Squirrel lol
The "no turn on red" sign is used at intersections where you cannot see the traffic in order to judge whether or not it's safe to turn.
Wesley Branton Or if the oncoming traffic has the opportunity to get a green turn arrow when you have a red
The doors closing sound is for the subway train above which Chicago transit also runs as well as the buses which u can c at 25:22
The reason some intersections have no turn on red is because the light is set that other cars will be coming through the intersection. This way they stop collisions.
Thanks for the vid.
+Squirrel I once was driving route 130 and i didn't pay attention to the time I was setting my run too and was 15-20 mins late at all of the stops!
At 21:30 - CLEARLY there is a complete bike rack on the front...which ALMOST brands the rear of the car! 😂😂😂 Ice save, bro. 😎
Just got this add on I love it
There are a lot of buses in Chicago and a lot of the major streets have multiple bus routes that run down the advantage to which is if you’re trying to get somewhere in downtown Chicago as long as you know the bus system well enough pretty much any bus you get on if it’s a big enough intersection will get you at least somewhat close if not right to where you’re going yeah there’s sometimes late but it Chicago we put up with it
Great video Squirrel. Really made me laugh! haha
how did you miss the station at 16:18
Alex McDonnell I was thinking the same. maybe just frustration from traffic? :)
If you didnt see, there were a car line
Same here
I literally was fucking screaming
That was funny
excellent video
The busses in chicago will sometimes overtake other cars by the cycle lane
Squirrel To answer your questions about chicago, 1 Your supposed to be in the the turning lane if you're a bus. The cars behind you will just have to wait if they're turning, 2 At 25:22 it was the L train above that made that noise or voice, & 3 some intersections don't allow you to turn on red because they are a high traffic area prone to car accidents when people try to turn on the light.
lol don't you mean "Happy BUSSING" !! ...at the end you said "happy driving"..😄 police were busy today weren't they lol !!..very good vid again...👍👍👍👍👍
love you dude
I nearly screamed when you went straight past that stop, although that seems to happen to me in Manchester -.-
Damn you First
Squrriel: I'm having a bad moring 😭 me:good for u :)
Lol
Squirrel great video. Nice game and good driving
The American Yoda lol, he always says "Awesome service you have"
That was an amazing video :), i would love to see you driving a bus in the snowy weather, in a double decker in Britain (somewhere of your choice), that would be amazing because i love buses and i would love to see you challenge yourself to drive in the snow in a double decker if thats ok with you
your channel in general is awesome, but that is what i would like to see in the next video :)
Watching you play Omsi and TS2015 is always so entertaining, but I was a bit disappointed to see you not turn on your wipers for this run.
You would know this but they are on
Cool😎🚎
If you watch it, then he did.
If you Watched it you would know if they were on Cuz they Were
^^
Great video, love your sense of humour and hope you do many more in this series.
I live in Canada, and on a trans-US motorcycle ride, I met a fellow biker on a BMW. We ended up having breakfast together at a restaurant in Minot. His name was Fred Wacker, and the same one that all that stuff in Chicago was named after, although I didn't know that then. He was a really nice man, and humble. I later found out he owned a whole bunch of industrial land in Chicago, and even the land that the Sears tower was on. He's dead now, but you can do a google search for him. I feel honoured to have met him.
Don Little cool story bro
Don Little I
14:25 “foode” oh squirrel 😂😂😂
Missed a stop, lol. If someone wanted to get off, you would have heard a complaint when you went past.
I Was just down by the navy pier watching the fireworks for the 4th of july.
Hey Squirrel. I noticed something with the bikes whilst playing the other day. When I did the first 124 of the day and the next couple I got LOTS of bikes, maybe its simulated for people going to work etc?
Actually oddly enough they don’t get in trouble for being late but as you were saying at the beginning of the video if you’re too early they get in trouble so they patted on the back but if they get too far ahead that’s where they can get in trouble
GOOD MORNING BEAST SQUIRREL PLUS CANDNA ONTARIO CZcams VIDEO 🇨🇦🇨🇦❄️❄️
I haven't been in Chicago a while now, but to answer your question at 17:00
I'm quite sure they don't have a schedule. But if I remember correctly they run constantly. Not a 100% sure, maybe someone from Chicago might want to correct me :)
Anyone else think of Midtown Madness 1 when they saw the start of the video at Navy Pier?
No right on red signs usually are for intersections with blind corners or major cross walks. Sometimes also for the boulevards
Rain with no wipers... interesting.
15:35 - finally XD
I live in Chicago and you asked "am I supposed to be in the right lane?" The answer is yes if there are continuous stops on that street. If you were running some other express route so your stops were spread out then you would not be in the very right lane.
That bus is the same kind we have here in the Portland Oregon metro area..it was the first of the new generation of buses we got.
it's called "New Flyer D40LF"
Lol it’s fun watching this, seeing you miss the passengers at 16:15
So I’m not the olny one that Cought that
The bus you were driving this time did have a proper bike rack, but it was just folded up. In fact, the articulated bus' bike rack is not very realistic to real life, since any passenger who uses a bus bike rack in America has to fold it back up to its original position, standing up.
Lol here. Where I'm at we don't have to fold it back up. Btw I love like 3 hours south from Chicago
+FMOxygen Well, you don't have to put it up, but I've never seen one not folded up. Plus, I don't think the bus driver would appreciate it if you left it down after taking off your bike.
There is a bike rack on that bus. On Chicago buses, you have to unfold it when you want to use it.
keep the videos coming Paul
That was an elevated train that was our equivalent of the underground but you’re right below her station four at that location so that’s Richard just heard
That car at 21:41...that's what you call a California stop :D
So the signs that are "No Right on Red"are usually used Because the Junction on the other Side is a One way so People aren't going to be able to turn in front of the one way intersection without causing a accident. Hope that answers your question.
Sitting back and in the middle is a tactic I employ because you get maximum leg rooooooom
In America you can turn right on red lights when its clear to.
Mr. Thomas Unless there's a sign that reads "NO TURN ON RED"
Well that would be sorta obvious.
Not in Every city Though
after if you finish the route can you still continue the route again or will the game start you over
Can you do the outside view near the doors when arriving at a station?
You're fine going straight in the right lane. Getting stuck behind a bus is just a fact of life.
your the best at osmi 2
I live in Chicago and they typically have 2-4 busses per route 2goimg one way and 2the other.. They run roughly 15 min apart
What are your PC specs? I can't have weather settings on in chicago without lagging.
